Art: Tempting the Wolf
I've figured a little thing out about art recently. For years I wanted to be edgy, different, etc. But I also wanted other people to like my art - maybe even buy it. What I think I have realized is that people want pretty... and then edgy and different come secondary. So... my new task: to rework my style so that it is more consumer friendly and optimally productive. I don't particularly want to compromise my art, and these changes will be hard to make without feeling like a sell-out. But, I'm going to give it a whirl.
The other thing I figured out is that I can't separate my art from the rest of my life - i.e. my spirituality. So, I'll be blogging a little more about my work here and posting ideas, finished pieces, etc. I hope you guys don't mind. :)
This is one of my latest pieces. It's a take on the tale of "Little Red Riding Hood" (if she were all grown up) - with a twist. Not a smutty twist though, even if it seems that way.
I actually have another piece called "Phallus-seas of Phallus-ies". That one's interesting. Just take a moment and imagine what it might look like. :) Yeah, artists are a little odd. Maybe I'll post it here soon.
