My new Art Cards Site

alisonlait.yolasite.com

I have been thinking about making my iPad art for sale, so to get started I made this website. Right now I'm offering art cards. Once I figure out what the costs are for gallery-wrapped canvases I'll add that product, too.

You know what would be cool? a mashup of an old vinyl advertising tarp, sanded away or partially sanded away, then reinked with another design (by Yours Truly) to make an artwork. I'm going to have to approach the printing company where I get tarp scraps and see if they'll be amenable to trying this experiment. I haven't a clue whether it would work, I just want to give it a try.

Art Piece, painted vinyl decals over printed tarp.

I haven't attempted a painting since my Acrylic painting course a few years ago. I love the look of cherry blossoms against a turquoise background. I saw such a painting at a Twisted Goods store. I had a tarp with a turquoise color that might work as a suitable background. I'm planning to paint the details on the flower decals with WR-LPU before affixing them to the tarp. This is the color blocking for the project, not the finished piece.

Now to find staples for my staplegun so I can staple the tarp over my 22"x28" canvas frame.

Thanks to EcoLogicalArt for the idea of painting on tarps.
