I just want to take a second to boast about having sold these three pieces! I’m pretty jazzed about it because it’s the first art sale I’ve ever made. You can check out the rest of this series here.
If anybody wants to help me price my art, could you send me a text / tweet / tumblr message / facebook message?
This is my first time trying to really sell things, so I’m trying to gather some opinions on what it’s really worth. I’d so very much appreciate your time. Even if you know nothing about art or prices, your opinion can help me.
OH GOD NOOOOO (Taken with instagram)
There are a bunch of empty boxes piled in the North Gallery today for transporting artworks.
I opened the gallery doors so workers would have access to the boxes.
And visitors keep walking into the gallery and staring at the pile like it’s a complex installation.
People, it’s just packing materials. Move on.

This is beautiful, but it won’t let me save the images to post here. So clicky!
Kweh?

I should get back into cross stitching.
I went to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art with a couple girls from my museums class. Honestly, it changed the way I feel about fashion. I left there feeling a little more educated and a lot more inspired. The girl who was driving the carpool was a total party pooper.
“I felt like some of the outfits implied too much sexuality. I thought there should have been a warning outside the exhibit about the content. I mean, I’m a Christian. I didn’t come here to see exposed breasts.”
YOU’RE AT A FUCKING GAULTIER SHOW AT A GODDAMN ART MUSEUM. THERE ARE GOING TO BE BOOBS.
And she went on to say: “I feel like Gaultier just makes things for shock value. He’s like Andy Warhol or Jackson Pollock. Just… unimportant.” It felt like she punched me in the stomach. I couldn’t see for a minute. Thank you for insulting two of my favorite artists and dismissing my own artwork in the same sentence! Fuck pop art, modernity, and abstract expressionism! Who needs those things?! Not modern art, that’s for sure!

A large part of me hates Banksy, but this quote hits home.
