There has been some changes at Mystery and Shadows, the layout has changed somewhat and a whole new gallery added - The MarketPlace.
The
MarketPlace contains an interesting jumble of things, such as you would find at markets. There is my latest Portrait Adoption pieces, and the beginnings of a new diversion - I have been designing for CafePress and Zazzle products. Some designs are derived from my art, others done specifically for CafePress and Zazzle. It has been a lot of fun so far! There is also a Sketchbook, which shows my latest sketches and works in progress. I have a few other plans for products to add to the MarketPlace, such as hand painted gift and tarot boxes.
Mystery and Shadows now has a
blog, incorporated into the website itself. I plan to use it as an art journal, posting rambles about inspiration behind the newest artwork or the one I'm currently working on, the way I paint, ideas for new paintings and tidbits from my life.
Finally, it is time to show off my latest painting :D It has by far the most detailed background I've done, and I'm glad I stuck with it.... it was tempting to just leave it as it was at several points! So I am somewhat proud of this piece for that reason. My scanner has once again played havoc with skin tones and details, but I managed to get it looking fairly close to the original.
