Weekly Post

I am going to try to make it a habit from now on to post at least once a week. For this week I am just going to posta drawing from my sketch book. The drawing however is a couple months old.

Great People for the Holiday's

I had a wonderful weekend full of making new friends and learning about people in the area. More and more I am finding that I am getting more encouragement and awareness that I should difanetely be prosuing my art as a career.
I kept thinking about this a lot today actually. I really have had trouble seeing myself being a professional illustrator/artist. Or just living on making art and doing it 8 hours a day. I do draw a lot. And I mean a lot. But normally the things I draw are my own self entertainment. With a lot of the new exposure I am witnessing and talking to a lot of artist in different mediums and ranges I am slowly getting to the point where I can see myself just living on my art.
However it is very tough for me to really see that happening. I think it's just hard because it's been a hobby for a very very long time. I am just use to it being what I want and the big change is, to making something for what someone else wants.
Several discussions with people I met over this weekend have been about them seeing what I make and what potential I have if I try doing this and that. Like one person brought up from a workshop that my art would look really cool as sculptures. Which is more Jenn's area. But I do like making 3D art. Like I studied 3D modeling at AIP and some of my art does have a three dimensional look. So it might be worth trying to sculpt my characters or different things I draw. So it might doing a little fiddling playing around with such art.
I am defiantly hungry for being more involved in entertainment media. Yeah, I know that can mean almost anything. Potentially I am thinking games. Like, video games, card games, interactive, etc. So I will need to make examples of work to show I have the skills for these.
I have to make it happen. Soon.
I believe it is going to happen.
It will happen :)

Handmade Wallets

Many are not aware that I make handmade wallets and sell them. They have been selling very well actually. It has kept me pretty busy for this holiday.
The wallets I make are currently at store called Fabricate, located in Northside Cincinnati. I think you should stop by and check them.
They are located at:
4012 Hamilton Ave.
Cincinnati, Ohio 45223

Here are a few pictures to see what they look like. :)

Selling handmade paper

I currently have enough paper made to take my handmade paper to dealers. However I am presenting my paper to those interest in purchasing them directly. If you or anyone you might know interested in purchasing paper from me, please contact me at brennan2bb@gmail.com . I am selling them for .50 cents a piece. Which if you have looked at other handmade papers, it is a very good deal. The stores and websites I have looked at sell them from $2.50 to $8.00. Depending on size however. A lot of scrap bookers will be pleased with what I have, or if you just want to print something on them or use them as wrapping paper, that works as well.
Please email me if you are interested. :)

Going to tell you secrets

I am looking forward to November, as I will be displaying a couple pieces at a show presented by Artworks in downtown Cincinnati. If your interested in know more about it, check out Artworks.com/secrets. I believe there will be hundreds of local artist gathering for this event. It will be a great time to get to know a lot of the artist. If your an artist and planning on being there, please feel free to come talk to me as I am trying to get to know a lot of local artist. Hope to see you there.
