drawing inspirations

So much is going on. Sometimes it's really hard to focus on the path you want to follow when emotional situations arise. Nevertheless, the inspiration is there and I have spent a little time drawing and planning the next few paintings. Here's a preview of the Deer Lady in it's early stage as well as other inspired drawings. I often find the inspiration from the people I meet, the face, shapes, curves, contrasts. the human body is so beautiful. It is truly fascinating.

I also have had lots of fun painting greeting cards. They are all hand painted ink original cards on 50% tree-friendly sugar cane and 50% post-consumer fiber waste. The cards are available to purchase at the Frog Peak Cafe in Crescent Valley or in my new store at soviaart.bigcartel.com. Where you can buy a package of eight cards, as well as prints of original paintings. Another idea I will pursue in the near future is starting a tattoo apprenticeship. The idea came from starting to design my friend's tattoos and my own. The feeling grew as I wished I would be able to put my designs on the person myself and with encouragement from people around me, I felt it would be a great complement to my career as a painter/graphic designer.
