This weekend had me all running around like a crazy person and not getting nearly enough sleep, so I apologize for not making any posts like I promised I would.
Here’s the skinny on Storyville Designs at www.storyvilledesigns.etsy.com I’ve been playing around with creating art for the past couple of months that really evokes my love of myth and dream. I spend a ridiculous amount of time day dreaming about fairy tales. I write modern interpretations, I draw my favorite moments, I write new endings. I’m obsessed, I can’t help it.
So was born Storyville. Within the walls of Storyville is a populace of characters that are constantly escaping treachery, sparring with the elements, escaping the witch’s pot, menacing others or being menaced. I draw them as I imagine them, and then I take an xacto knife and turn the whole thing into a three dimensional creation you can practically step into. I experiment and then just see what happens. No two will ever be alike.
After seeing them pile up in my office, I decided I needed to send them out into the world. So I started up my etsy site and started listening them. I have about 8 total, and I’ll get them all up this week. They all have different themes and moments, and I hope you like them all.
Even if you only stop over to take a look, I’d love your comments. If you’re interested in buying, even better! Many people who do the same type of work list their art much higher than my prices. I’m not a professional artist, I do it for the fun of it. I price mine really so that I can buy more materials.
I’ve also considered writing short stories to go along with some of the art pieces either for my own benefit or to send with the art when I mail them out. We’ll see.
So that is Storyville. I’m considering a line of hand made watercolor cards that follow some classic fairy tale themes. We’ll see. The current one I’m working on is pretty neat.
