It's amazing I manage to keep myself alive sometimes...<br />
<br />
But moving on to better things... ARTWORK! Been busy experimenting with my style on photoshop these past couple months. It would be an understatement if I said wrapping my classically trained brain around photoshop was/is a pain in the ass. In hindsight it would have been extremely helpful if I had bit the bullet and taken a couple classes instead of diving in completely blindfolded, but you live and you learn. So take it from me, unless you want to have an extremely frustrating couple of years paired with annoying headaches, take a couple JC classes on photoshop.<br />
<br />
One of the most frustrating things for me in photoshop was the fact that the "brushes" didn't react like actual real life brushes. These so called "oil paint" brushes that promised the textured clinging effect of actual oil paint were just plain thick lines void of texture. The whimsical "watercolor brushes" were splotchy and produced a repetitive artificial pattern. Why weren't these brushes delivering their promised effects when I made a stroke?!? Oh, you have to dab them? Or you have to lay the stroke down then choose a different brush to warp the edges? After years of training I had to make my brain work in reverse and against logic, hence = headaches.<br />
<br />
I've been at trying to concur photoshop for a couple years now, while working in traditional watercolor on the side to reset my brain so it wouldn't explode. But during this time I had put oil painting on the back burner for multiple reasons; expense, time, prioritizing, etc. That was until this summer. Every year I try to participate in the Academy of Arts Alumni Auction in San Francisco and for the past couple years I have been entering watercolors. This time around I got the itch to enter some oils. Since it had been literally years since I've painted in oil I figured the experience would be frustrating and time consuming while I retaught myself, but I was wrong. Muscle memory set in and the paints went down with every satisfying brush stroke. I looked forward to painting every night (a feeling I don't always feel towards working digitally), and I was actually a little bummed when the 2 paintings were finished. Apparently this was the reset my brain needed because once the paintings were done I decided to take "longer" on my digital illustrations and layer them more, like I do with my oils. <br />

<br />
I had become so wrapped up in the speed aspect of digital that my
illustrations were suffering. Not everything needs to be done quickly.
Speed doesn't equal success. Yes if a project is done quickly it is
beneficial but if you can create a better end product by spending a
little more time on it it is worth the time sacrifice. I've also discovered through this journey that my clients 9 out of 10 times are more than happy to wait a little bit longer for their piece, especially if they know that the end result will be better.<br />
<br />
So here is a little look at what little creations I've made lately!<br />

In the spirit of Halloween</div>
<br />
I've discovered the work of <a href="http://megpark.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Meg Park</a> who's style has been very inspirational for me lately.<br />
<br />
Also another big inspiration... Stranger Things on Netflix! I jumped on that band wagon and I'm so happy I did because that show is amazing! So many nostalgia feels<br />

I want to do a huge wordy post about my experiences at art school... hopefully not 5 months from now! Til next time!<br />

<br />
I have said it before and I'll say it again. If this blog was a living thing it would be dead due to how much I neglect it!<br />
<br />
Yesterday a voice in my head said "Hey you, remember you have that blog thing you posted in MONTHS AGO!!" Such a failure. Which brings me around to the topic of this post! Artists' tendency to self loath...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
constantly.<br />
<br />

<br />
To be honest I'm guilty of this as well, especially the past 2 weeks, but if we're really being honest it has been coming in tidal waves for the past 3 years (as in since I graduated college and was tossed face first into the work world without water wings to help me stay afloat).<br />
<br />
Self loathing seems to be an inherent trait in most artists. Comes with the territory of exposing one's self to the world and its criticisms.<br />
<br />
As an artist it is essential to immerse ones self with inspirational things, whether it be people, places, things, sounds, and especially other artists' work. The last one is a kind of necessary evil...<br />

This magical abomination then brings on the Pity Party which leads to the feelings of <i>Everything I Make Is Crap and Looks Like I Made it With My Feet</i>! Sounds extremely unappealing, and it is, but like I said it is most necessary. Believe it or not, but obsessively staring at and studying other artists' work helps to make you a better artist. But first, the Pity Party has to happen, which is where I've been for the past 2 weeks. All the balloons have deflated and I'm ready to take control and get out of my funk! I have a couple steps to get me back on track.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
STEP ONE :</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Post something on one of my social media outlets <b>EVERY DAY</b>. Yes... <b>EVERY DAY!</b> I have this bad habit of posting on a more <i>monthly</i> basis which does absolutely NOTHING for my social media presence. I came to the realization today that I take posting things to social media as more of a monthly progress report of "What I've Been Working On". This day and age revolves around "<i>OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND"</i>. So when I spend most of the month forgetting I even have an Instagram/facebook/infamous blog, then a couple days thinking up the idea of what I'm going to post, drawing/painting it, photographing it THEN eventually posting it... I have already been forgotten. Here I am thinking that everyone is going to see and love this thing that I put so much time in when the truth of the matter is everyone has already forgotten they're even following me! And to top it off because I rarely post, when I DO post it's at the end of their feed which means there's an even LESS chance of them seeing it! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
SOLUTION :</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Post something <b>EVERY DAY!!!</b> No each post doesn't have to be a mini masterpiece, but I won't post something I'm not proud of either (that would be a crime!). Just post SOMETHING, and make it good, and most importantly make it fun. I've decided to pick my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/j_shari_ewing/" target="_blank"><i>Instagram</i></a> ( j_shari_ewing ) as the main victim of my daily posts. One of the easiest forums for me to post on at the moment cause I'm simple minded like that!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That being said I'm on day 4 of my post something <b>EVERY DAY-athon</b>!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day One :</div>

<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
Lets keep this thing going! That being said<br />
<br />
STEP TWO :<br />
<br />
I am also going to get a real calendar, made of paper and ink (digital ones don't work for me) and hang it next to my face in my studio. I will then mark every week to write a blog post. Yes... a blog post. I can't keep neglecting this thing! I want to post SOMETHING once a week here, whether it be a quick little post of some art, or a long winded post about something random. Time to stop neglecting this poor blog!<br />
<br />
My plan for next week's post... a topic that my friends and I have been discussing for years. Our opinion on art school, coming from a Fine Arts degree perspective. It's going to be a juicy one!<br />
<br />
In the words of the bouncy legend Tigger...<br />
<br />

For starters two books came out this month.<br />
<br />
First one the AMAZING <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Going-Disneyland-Guide-Kids-Heart/dp/0991295439/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449195557&sr=8-1&keywords=going+to+guides+disneyland" target="_blank"><u>Going to Disneyland - A Guide for Kids & Kids at Heart</u> </a>by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/goingtoguides/" target="_blank">Shannon Willis Laskey.</a><br />
<br />
Where do I begin on how amazing this book is... besides the fact that it is full of little facts and secrets about Disney and Disneyland. I couldn't put it down. The design is fun and creative, the facts are intriguing, and the featured artists' work is perfect! Here is a little list :<br />
<br />
Mary Blair (of course)<br />
Chris Buchholz <br />
Sam Carter<br />
Scott Cocking<br />
Rolly Crump (incredible, as per usual)<br />
Lindsay Gibson <br />
Marisa Lerin<br />
Adrian Mentus<br />
Heather Mettra<br />
Kolby Ratigan<br />
W. Jason Weesner<br />
Steve Willis<br />
And YOURS TRULY of course!<br />
<br />
Here is a little peek of the book<br />

Rolly Crump even wrote a review for it... I mean c'mon!<br />
<br />
"There aren't enough adjectives to describe this incredibly creative book, designed bu a fantastically creative artist. For starters, it's UNIQUE, IMAGINATIVE, WHIMSICAL, EDUCATIONAL, CHILDLIKE, THOUGHT PROVOKING, INTERESTING, DELIGHTFUL and obviously a labor of love. It's a wonderful 'memory' book for any and all that visit Disneyland. What more can I say - I LOVE IT!!!"<br />

The Second book release this month has been the long awaited <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tyler-Loves-Tape-Arlene-Taylor/dp/1503570894/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449197353&sr=8-1&keywords=tyler+loves+tape" target="_blank"><u>Tyler Loves Tape</u></a> by Arlene Taylor. I have been working with Arlene on this book for the past year. It is an adorable story about the fun and adventures of a little octopus names Tyler and his preschool friends. This adventure is with tape and all the wonderful things they can create. It is so sweet an innocent, the perfect little book for our little imaginative ones!<br />

Ever since I discovered the movie Funny Face about 5 years ago I've been obsessed. I go through random spurts of having the soundtrack on repeat in my head (happens without warning), go through about a week's worth of wanting to watch the movie before I actually get around to it, then proceed to have it on repeat in the background all day while I work.<br />
<br />
Yep... a little obsessed.<br />
<br />
Now something new has been added to my weirdo list... an overwhelming desire to draw the characters. One of the gifts of being able to draw is the joy of having a vision in your head, attempting to translate it onto paper, and <span style="color: #cc0000;">FAILING </span>miserably. Over and over again.<br />
<br />
Luckily for my sanity everything clicked! Bonjour Audrey!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
For the past 2 years I've been aggressively working on evolving my style into something that feels natural to me and flows whimsically from my fingers. I'm not <i>quite</i> there yet, but I'm definitely closer! Now off to struggle with getting the rest of the characters from the movie down.<br />
Wish me luck!<br />
<br />
<br />
Also! Added some new lil funny faces to my <span style="color: #674ea7;"><a href="http://haaappyaccidents.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Shop!</a></span><br />

Been busy these past couple weeks with commissions *YEEEE*! Found out a couple days ago that it's our neighbor's daughters' birthday this weekend and thought I'd make them a little something with their favorite characters. So commissions on hold for this weekend, let me introduce my little 5x7" summer beauties!<br />
<br />
I've never worked with layered paper works this small before so this was definitely a learning experience, which is always a good thing!<br />

A couple months ago I finally got around to getting Netflix. I know, doesn't sound like a big deal but I view Netflix as a modern day Pandora's Box. Seems wonderful until you log in, then all your time disappears and suddenly it's 5 hours later and you have a list of 20+ movies and shows saved to your watch later list... so there goes your personal life, and any productivity you had planned for the next 2 months!<br />
<br />
The silver lining to all this is I FINALLY got to see Box Trolls, and I am in love. Is is such a beautiful movie, from the story to the visuals, beautiful. So naturally I had to make a little Box Troll tribute! Laika and all the people involved, you're amazing.

Here's a look at a series I've been working on this year... Disney Villain Mugshots! Inspired by Disney's villains.<br />
<br />
It's all fun and games until someone gets arrested.<br />
<br />
Celebrities have them... civilians have them... MUGSHOTS. I don't know what it is about Googling mugshots but it's captivating!<br />
<br />
What if our favorite childhood villains had mugshots and they popped up while you were frolicking around the interwebs? I feel it would look a little something like this...<br />

'Tis the season! Now that I am sufficiently stuffed with Thanksgiving goodness I have enough food to energize me to spend countless hours working on illustrations. Challenge excepted!<br />
<br />
Before I get too wrapped up in that, it isn't December until there is a tipsy reindeer. So lo and behold the first reindeer of the season! His drink of choice, martini!<br />

If you couldn't tell by the subtly of that doodle, we're going to Disneyland tomorrow!!! So excited! It's been a couple years since I've been to the happiest place on earth so this is definitely exciting! Joe and I decided this trip will be a belated one year anniversary for us. So as a reward of making through one year of marriage with each other we are going to stuff our faces with churros, fill our ears with Disney music till we're numb, and right the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to my heart's content!</div>

<br />
This past weekend friends of my husband and mine got married. I usually try to make my gifts to people as unique and personal as possible. So I decided instead of the typical slow cooker or blender, I would make her something with what she is obsessed with, Ariel.<br />
<br />
Ever since she saw my other shadow box mermaid piece she's been talking about how awesome it would be if I could make one for her... Well her wish came true!<br />
<br />
Don't worry! We got a little something for the Groom too, he wouldn't be too thrilled about a Little Mermaid picture like his wife would. Though it would be fantastic to see a 240lb buff man get excited about The Little Mermaid and bubbles. <br />
<br />
Here's the other mermaid shadow box that inspired this little gift<br />

Even though Halloween is going to be over tomorrow (*sigh) I've decided I'm still going to keep this painting out, it just makes me Happy... I mean, perfectly miserable.<br />
<br />
The 2014 Livermore Artwalk was a success! Met a lot of awesome people and found a bunch of good homes for my little creations!<br />
<br />
Here's a little shot of our booth<br />

So I was rummaging around Instagram (as I do) and noticed that a bunch of artists do daily warm ups. I've never done them because I felt that that was time I could have spent on the piece I was working on. Well an hour into working I'm going back and changing everything I did that day cause it was stiff and annoying! Well DUR! The hour I spent drawing, getting frustrated, then going back and re-doing could've been just me warming up, then starting fresh on whatever piece I was working on. So I decided to stop being stubborn and tried some warm up faces the other day, and honestly, I'm hooked.<br />

This new found "frustration free" way of working got me on a roll doing a series of Mugshots I've been wanting to do for probably a good year now. Disney villains! I'm in a frenzy trying to get pieces finished and printed for an upcoming Artwalk in Livermore this October, hopefully I'll get enough of them done in time!<br />

The theme for their nursery is Winnie The Pooh so it was only natural that Pooh's butt makes an appearance. So I recreated one of my favorite scenes from Disney's 1966 film <u>Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree</u> and attempted to mimic the film's artistic style, but in layers of hand cut and painted watercolor paper.<br />

It was a great excuse to watch the movie again, but frankly I never need an excuse to watch Disney movies!

What started out as wedding and baby shower cards has now become a full blown production!<br />
<br />
I'll be participating in an alumni art show for Academy of Art University in SF this upcoming fall (I'll include details in a later post) and decided that I wanted to take my cards to the next level... FRAMES! Shocking, I know.<br />
<br />
No matter how much my fingers hurt I am addicted to this method! My over enthusiastic self wanted to enter 5 pieces in this style but seeing that the entry deadline is July 23rd I may have to limit myself to just 3, but I don't think my stubborn side will let me surrender like that. We'll have to see!<br />
<br />

Thought I would share that I'm going to be part of an upcoming alumni Art Auction in October for AAU and I decided I'm going to do some more intricate pieces in this style. Let the explosion of paper begin! </div>

Well that was me this past week, and who better to understand this annoyance then Rapunzel!<br />
<br />
She may be a princess with all the finer luxuries in life (like a personal hair dresser), but even she can have a bad hair day. Here is Rapunzel picking up a quick cup of coffee on her hair dresser's day off... she doesn't seem to be coping too well-<br />

Sometimes a girl has to surrender to the hair gods, and sometimes the hair gods are very angry!

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' video for Thrift Shop came on tv the other day for the millionth time, but this time I saw the opening sequence and thought "OoO! That would be fun to illustrate!" So I did!<br />

Now back to the 10 other pieces I have randomly started before I was distracted by shinny things!<br />

Here is a link to the article if you want to have a peek!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/04/creativity-habits_n_4859769.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/04/creativity-habits_n_4859769.html</a><br />
<br />
One of the bullet points was <u>PEOPLE WATCHING</u> and it dawned on me, "I haven't done that in months! I need to people watch/draw today!" So down to Barnes and Noble I went armed with watercolors and a Bristol pad. After a couple hours of daydreaming and people stalking I left with these little beauties!<br />

The two Baristas working the Starbucks Coffee counter, they were definitely the most entertaining of the people I saw today. Michael was cracking me up with the random things he was saying to customers.<br />
