Hey guys, just a friendly reminder that I have all of my art prints and products on Society6 available FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING through Mother’s Day! I have added a lot of new pieces that are up for print, so please check them out and get them at discount today!

Etsy Shop is Open for Business!

Alright folks, I’ve been talking about this for a while, but here it is, an Etsy shop for my pokemon prints! I’ll be adding to this as I make more prints so stay tuned and keep watch on this! My next planned print is Charizard, a sure fan favorite. ;)

If you can’t purchase any, please pass this along! I’d love for people to buy these, and I have quite a few that I’m giving out to the Etsy crowd, so go craazy. :D

New print this morning; Serperior! Surprise! I never showed the WIP of this because I went straight from drawing to carving on this one. :x

SO GUYS I Need Some Input on Commissions~

So I’m gonna be opening up commissions here soon, and while this is my old list of prices, I am thinking about making up a new one, with new prices. 

I just wish I could get into the groove on doing things for people, or what people expect of me. And without a premium membership ( ;^; ) I can’t make a poll to find out. 

Now, I’m thinking of starting my list off at $7 icons (for use on websites anywhere) and moving up from there to my more expensive full body, full illustrations. But would people be interested in my digital work? Or my traditional work? I just don’t know. Feeling bad about art today hasn’t been helping my case (you get your down days, for sure). 

But please, send me your thoughts. ;; Even if it’s a quick buck, you’d be helping me by purchasing a future commission. If all goes well and people are interested, I’d love to open commissions up on the First of October, and keep going from there. That will give me time to make up a better price list, as well as a Terms and Conditions for people to check out and look at.

In the mean time, I’m hoping that this will help boost my morale. I think I might need some to get through this week and the next. ;; 

I’m ALSO gonna be selling my pokemon prints here soon on Etsy, so PLEASE let me know if you are interested in those as well, or even if you are interested in them here (I just can’t run a credit card through deviantart). There’s more to come in that direction so yeah, let me know. Please?


What am I working on right now? Well, after a small blade mishap, I’m getting close to finishing my giant woodblock, and should have some test prints to show before the end of the week. On the side of that, I’m making some small linocuts of pokemon, and to test them all out, here is ninetails, ready to carve. I should have some test prints of this one soon as well. Stay tuned to printmaking with Lauren here on Tumblr! (ps this photo is terrible but the print will be much better) Also, what pokemon would you guys want to see in print form, either woodblock or linocut? I’ll be making a poll on my deviantart as well after I finish this piece and post it, and maybe taking a popular opinion poll. I do have specifics already lined up, but it wouldn’t hurt to also hear what people are looking for. These will be sold (hopefully) at the next Acen, so I have a lot of work ahead of me!
I took a break yesterday because I was working so hard I passed out for 12 hours (and periods are no fun for woodblocking), but after two days of work, this is how far I am. :] Today, I’ll be watching the Olympics while I carve. Should be a real fun time~.
So here’s my woodblock, all inked up and just about ready to carve(I left in some border to give people an idea of just how large this piece is!)! You can see the overall image much clearer now. Anything on here that you see as the ground wood color will be carved out, leaving only only the black bits to eventually be printed with an oil-based ink onto paper. The carving process is definitely gonna start this week!

Printing

I’ve decided that when I do more prints, they will be bird-based. I’ll be posting my cockatoo prints from last year here later today, and the rest of them too probably this weekend. 

I just really like bird prints. I want to keep making them.

Eelektross, everyone. My personal favorite. <3
I also have prints available in 4x5 and 8x10 for this piece here. Note me if interested~! Prints are available for this as well. Just ask and you shall receive. ;)
2.5 Hours or something in PS CS3.
