Understanding Sales Stats

January 14th, 2020

Understanding Sales Stats

I’ve been an artist selling my work on Fine Art America for the past decade and one of the most common questions I hear is about sales stats for Fine Art America artists. Or more specifically artists want to know how their customers found them. And it’s an incredibly... Read More

Angel Oak Wall Art

Angel Oak Wall Art

Sometimes the subjects of my new art are my own imagination but others like this Angel Oak wall art are the result of suggestions from customers and people who follow my work on social media. I won’t always promise that I’ll deliver right away but most of the time requests go to my ever-growing list of art subjects I’d like to tackle when inspiration strikes. Some subjects are ...

Fall Artwork - The Bright Side Of Things

Fall Artwork - The Bright Side Of Things

There’s no question this new fall artwork was meant to be cheerful and uplifting. I think most of the time my artwork leans in this direction anyway. I suspect anyone who has followed me for awhile is used to bright colors more so than sombre shades. But I can equally say in a dark year, a lot of these bright artworks have been therapeutic. As many of you know, it was around this time last year that my... Read More

Auburn Art And College Memories

Auburn Art And College Memories

I recently completed a piece of Auburn art that has gotten way more attention than I honestly expected. I mean, every artist hopes a piece or two of their art gets a lot of notice but it doesn’t happen as often as many of us would hope. I can’t tell you how many artists I hear the same story from. You complete a new piece, you’re over the moon with how much you love it, and you share it expecting everyone to have the same reaction to it. Instead, you hear the hum of crickets chirping.

Okay, I exaggerate just a little. Usually I...Read More

Wacom Alternative for The Intuos Pro

Wacom Alternative for The Intuos Pro

If you follow my art blog and you’re also an artist or aspiring artist, you may have read my recent post about my experience with the XP-Pen Artist 16, which is essentially a Wacom Alternative for the Cintiq line of display tablets for graphic artists. I’m still enjoying my Artist 16. In fact, I may have another post on that subject soon, but I have to admit I was missing my old Wacom Intuos Pro sometimes. There are times when I just simply don’t need the precision of a display tablet. And if I’m honest maybe also there’s a part of me that is resistant to change. I am enjoying the Artist 16, but some of the time, I want something familiar.

The problem with...Read More

Art By The Light Of The Moon

Art By The Light Of The Moon

Only a handful of weeks ago, I finished a new piece of art that included a female silhouette and the blazing sun. As you’ll read there, it was kind of an accidental piece of art which started as a backdrop for the Desiderata poem. Ironically or not, the Desiderata print has proved to be much more popular! I guess a strong image always helps tell a story! Nonetheless, as soon as I finished that “Child Of The Universe” image with the blazing sun, I thought I should have a yin and a yang and do the moon as well.

After all the sun and moon probably...Read More

Initial Thoughts About the XP-Pen Artist 16

Initial Thoughts About the XP-Pen Artist 16

Just thought I’d share my initial thoughts about the XP-Pen Artist 16 – a Wacom Cintiq Alternative now that I’ve actually sat down and worked with it. But I think a little background is in order first.

I’ve used a Wacom Intuos Pro for the past three years. I really cut my teeth on it artistically. I had briefly tried another...Read More

Accidental Social Media Tribute Flag for the Manchester Attack

Accidental Social Media Tribute Flag for the Manchester Attack

The word I keep finding myself using today is surreal. And it’s the only appropriate word I can come up with. How does some random guy from a small town in Georgia end up in the news following a terror attack without even being there? In my case it was because a piece of art I created four years ago caught fire as a social media tribute flag.

Last night I...Read More

Spiritual Artwork Print - Child Of The Universe

Spiritual Artwork Print  - Child Of The Universe

This new spiritual artwork print is a perfect example of how often I start one thing and find unexpected inspiration for something else. My latest piece was originally meant to be just a backdrop behind the text for Max Ehrmann’s poem Desiderata. I recently had someone ask...Read More

Hot Air Balloon Nursery Art Print

Hot Air Balloon Nursery Art Print

I admit I struggle sometime explaining where some of my art comes from, such is the case with this hot air balloon nursery art print. You see, in the strictest sense, I’m not describing a room where this would fit but the actual subject or what it depicts. Take a look! This was a concept that I had rolling...Read More
