I’m thinking about making my artwork available for purchase. At least some of it. I tried last year or the year before (i can’t remember) on etsy, but I didn’t market myself long enough or put enough effort into it. So here I am, in 2009, the year of me, trying again.

The problem is, I don’t really know if any of my work is… purchase worthy. BLAH!
I intend on turning most, if not all, of my prints into ATC’s/ACEO’s and I will easily be able to trade or sell them for less than $5.00. I’m working on developing my skills at watercolor intaglio so that I can reprint my Planets and Gods series at smaller sizes. I will also continue to work in relief printing as well.

Anything like a drawing or painting will probably be printed through a company as a giclee print as one of the reasons I never became a cartoonist is that I have a hard time drawing the same thing twice. Sculptures are currently out of the question. Not like I have ones that are good enough to buy. hahaha

This is also in part of me wanting to expand my collection of other artists work, which is as of right now, very small. Which is why I’m open for art trades too. I won’t give away my originals, with the exception of a few linocut and silkscreen prints that I have created editions of, but I’m willing to recreate almost anything I’ve already done for anybody who’s interested. Almost everything I’ve done can be recreated in less time, for lower cost and a smaller size if necessary in a slightly different medium.

So… I guess… Since I’m basically trying to promote myself… if there’s anything in my gallery that you like and would like to have a version of, drop me a line and we can coordinate a purchase/trade.

When I was trying to think of titles, my dad mentioned InnerVisions album by Stevie Wonder… I liked the name so much that I kept it as Innervision… I don’t like how I inked the title on the cover. I think it looked better without the title on it at all, but I guess it needs to have one. I also wrote a little blurb I made up on the front page. I don’t really think I like it.

The pages are two 20×30 sheets folded into a 16 page single sheet fold, then cut and glued together for an accurate number of pages.

The images are artsy photos of my friends that I took last spring that I wanted to incorporate into a project. You can see some of them in the gallery. I printed them out on heavy weight vellum, and “framed” them in the pages. When you’re looking at the book in the light and you turn the page, you can see the photo from the other side of the page as well. It makes me think of stained glass.

I studded the curve and parts of the spine to add some texture.
