The Results Are In!


A couple of weeks ago I posted a poll to help me decide whether I should focus on painting, sculpting, or printmaking.  Today is the day the election ends.

Painting won!  Printmaking was never far behind, but out of the 47 people who voted, 48.9% chose painting. This means I will be pursuing painting for the majority of this year, and will hopefully produce some neat-o artwork.  Woot!

Thanks to everyone who voted.  I am always happy to leave big life decisions up to someone else, haha!

Leaving It Up To Fate... I Mean, You

I am at a crossroads.  I really want to roll up my sleeves and make some serious art, dammit.  My problem is that I want to do too many things at once.  As much as I'd love to be sculpting the same time that I'm painting and printmaking, I really need to try and hone in on one thing at a time.  So right now I'm working on a painting, and when I'm done, I've got to decide what I'm doing next.

But I don't want to decide.  So I'm asking you to.

Below is a summarized version of my portfolio.  Then follows a poll in which you must decide my fate.  I will announce the results on April 11.

Here are some of my paintings:


Some stuff I've made with polymer clay:
My third consideration is printmaking.  I only have one print to display (the first picture listed below), but I have several drawings I'd like to convert into linocuts, so I posted a couple examples of those.
Time to vote!  Feel free to get your friends in on this (via Facebook or Twitter, for example).  My future lies in your hands!


Which art medium should Sarah pursue next?

Linocuts That Blow My Mind

I have a special place in my heart for linocuts.  Much like my love for Sharpie drawings, the black and white contrast and bold shapes and lines really grab my eye.  I haven't made any since college, but I'm hoping to start again soon.  Usually before starting a new vein of artwork, I like to do a bit of research to get inspired.  Here are some cool pieces I stumbled upon that I hope you'll appreciate as much as I did.
