Only managed to get one product added today - my Greek coloring book! I like to joke that I'm a published author because of it. 📝

Had to do some customization because you can skip shipping costs by ordering directly from Amazon (POD) so added a button to go there.

I maybe wasn't thinking it through when I applied to 4 shows in December

Super pre-grand opening for my art shop! 🎨

Right now it only lists some Greek coloring pages (digital downloads) that I made a while ago! 🖍️

I hope to get more products in over the next few days! Help me find the bugs (i.e., settings I didn't find/notice yet).

It's so hard to get everything ready to open a shop!
Finally, I'm hard at work to get my art shop open (hopefully before Black Friday!)... furiously trying to conform to an ecommerce theme while being a web dev is hard 😆

You can get a preview of my work in my art account @sia.studio or check out my portfolio site at sia.studio

Today for the Paint the Forest plein air event, I decided to go with ink and watercolor. Found this little cove with beautiful fall colors.

Going to frame this one and submit to the show.

Test print (under-inked) of my tufted titmouse I made while printing my Carolina chickadee on some different paper with my new woodzilla press. Very excited about the press. Not so sure about this paper. Also going to switch to oil ink.

Test print of my little Carolina chickadee... What do you think? I think she's so cute! Have to figure out what if any modifications I want to make before I "finalize" it

Pulling prints in preparation for a holiday art market that I'm going to be in!

It's November 8th at Golden Belt in Durham! I'll have mostly watercolor and prints but also a few linoprints like this one.

Final self-portrait... What do you think? I was so nervous doing this one since we are always our own worst critics 😂

Overall, I'm pleased with it (and embracing all my imperfections)

11.5x15 watercolor on paper

Few things have been as cathartic this week as finding out about an account where I can go through its feed and block every single account it RT’d before blocking the main account itself.

Don’t interact with government troll trash. Just remove it from your sight & spare yourself the mental stress.
