Going Once! Going Twice! SOLD!!

I sold two paintings last night! Waaaahoooooo!

I really could not be happier about their awesome new home and owner. I know they're going to be displayed in the perfect location and given a lot of love. I'll miss seeing them everyday but I know that they have found the PERFECT new parent.

Yes, I realize that I sound like I gave my puppy up for adoption or something, but that's kind of how it feels to sell a painting. Selling reproductions and my DeviantART items always feels great, but nothing can compare to the feeling I get when someone wants to hang one of my originals in their home. I paint for ME. When I started painting five years ago, it was a form of therapy for myself and never intended for public viewing. To this day, it's still a lot like that. I'm better about putting my art out there for the world to see, but I still paint for me and me alone. If someone else happens to love what I do, it's an incredible bonus and I still can't help but feel like they're joking. They can't possibly mean that they want to spend money on my glorified finger-painting can they? It's a feeling like no other when I realize that's EXACTLY what they mean!

So, Circle Phases I & II, enjoy your new amazing home. I can't wait to visit you in your new, pretty habitat.

First Sale!

I made my first DeviantART sale today!

A week ago, I started my DeviantART online print shop. Shoppers can now purchase my art as photo prints, wrapped canvases, greeting cards, postcards and even adorable novelty items like coasters, mouse pads, and puzzles. And COFFEE MUGS! That's right, coffee mugs.

Someone bought 6 of them! Cool! I think they're gonna make some rockin' holidays gifts.

Good Enough

I'm so unbelievably stoked that my sales of my paintings are no longer limited to originals only!

Next up, Etsy shoppe! Anyone got advice?
