Where reality meets vision....

And this sadly seems to be where my latest piece of art is stuck. And I hate it. I really try to work past these little "ruts" and keep on plugging away at the piece. What was in my head for this piece looks so far from what I am currently creating it's starting to be disastrous. And yet I can't give up on it. It doesn't really appear to be anything special. Just a mermaid. No great detail, but I want to finish it.
And yet looking at it frustrates me. I've put it down and picked it up and yet can't finish it. Each brush stroke and pencil marking seems to be doing it no good.....and I'm frustrated.

Should I give up? I don't know yet, but I think I will shelve this one for a little bit. Sorry. It seems taht I can't get my hands to quite co-operate with my head. And this is where this piece will remain.

New Layout

Hello everyone and welcome to the new blog! I've finally moved away from the barren white that the old blog possessed and moved into something that compliments the main page, www.logansmeadow.com

I hope you enjoy it and hopefully I'll have another new piece of art to post about by the end of this weekend, stay tuned!

Expanding into yet another site

Currently I am in the middle of setting up shop in a new site known as Artfire. I will still be selling my work through Etsy, however I thought that I would test the waters with this new site. I've so far only listed one piece there but the plan is to list a few more pieces through sometime next week. I'll be sure to list more details regarding the site and the pieces to be listed, so please stay tuned!

Working, working, working........and yet?

Well, I've been hard at work. In the last few weeks I have been sketching and brainstorming and just spinning ideas around in my head and yet I feel as though I am just spinning my wheels around and not getting anywhere.

I've been fortunate enough to have a new venture designing a logo for a small business and I'm very excited for it. So far this has been productive but I'm still working on the conceptual sketches. This is definitely new territory for me as I haven't done custom commercial work before and it's new. Very new and while there's a part of me that is incredibly nervous and critical of myself I am loving the challenge.

And tonight I came home to the first sale in a while of my work. I've been sitting on my work for quite some time and haven't been actively marketing it. In the true spirit of an upcoming New Year I will definitely be resolving to market my work more actively.

So much that is just on the verge of "breaking out" but yet so far.......well I will just have to give it a try and hope that it's successful and that others like my work even half as much as I hope they will.
