Rock the art...

Pop music has often been a muse for artists and I'm no exception.  When I can't think of something to draw, I think of a song I like or listen to music.  The following is more about the title of the songs than the music themselves.  Pretty Purple Top Hat is indie music and very unfamiliar with me but I liked the title.  Red, Red Wine and Blue Suede Shoes often get stuck in my head.  The purpose of the mixed media art that follows was more to keep me making things.

Please enjoy, follow my blog, and check out my links.

Mail Me Some Art...

I found this great blog called Mail Me Some Art.  The swaps seem fun and I was able to create two for the Monochromatic Postcard Swap.

For those who stumble upon this blog, mail art is a pretty popular way to share and collect art.  And monochromatic simply means "one color."

I'm ready to mail out my postcards for the art swap.  I picked red for one using the lyrics from Kellie Pickler's "Red High Heels" song.  For my second, I picked yellow using "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weanie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini."  Finally, I just had a blast creating them.
