©2012 linda germain gelatin printing

Today I finally got the gelatin out of the refrigerator and started playing with some prints.  I was using 9″ x 12″ drawing paper and printing on both sides.   I limited myself to blue, black and gold ink.  I had a couple of “stamping items and a couple of stencils.   I layered and layered and got  one or two prints that are kind of fun.  Happy Printing.

One thing I plan to do is revamp my website.  The choices are so vast.  I could research it for ever and not get too far.  I am making a list of artist websites that inspire me.  Some how I found Susy Pilgrim Waters.   Oh I know I was looking at programs at Squam Art Workshops and she was teaching there. I think part of my attraction to her site is that I love her work too.  But it is simple, clean and fast.  If you have sites that you love leave the link in the comments.  Happy Art Making.

Well after about a month of  walking to and fro, and telling friends and family i needed an inexpensive reliable car, I got it!  yippie.  It is an older volvo wagon that was well cared for.  My assignment from the prior owner is to take it to 500,000 Miles.  It is half way there.  Off to the south End of Boston for open studios.  Happy Artmaking!

Today I came across two inspiring videos about art, marketing and making money.  The first was  “How to Make $1000. in Art Sales per Month”  by the Cory Huff of the AbundantArtist.com It is an interview with painter Michael Whitlark  And the second was about using the right side of the brain to do your marketing plan, Jennifer Lee shares great tools and info for Artists and Marketing goals and plans.  It was cool how she took the same info and presented it in a graphic way which made it accessible.  Happy Art making or marketing!
