This came about on a group I am part of. The group consists of amateur, novice, hobby, and professional artists who all utilize a print-on-demand service. While often times there are discussions about copyright, fanart, and sales, this person was saying that she had a shop open and someone said her images looked “blurry”.

So you may recall that I recently participated in the Nasty Women Boston exhibition at the Laconia Gallery to benefit Planned Parenthood and Color of Change. Not only was this an excellent exhibit, with fantastic works from a wide variety of artists championing resistance in the face of all that is happening in our tumultuous political world, but a lot of really awesome things happened to me during the course of the 10 day exhibition period.
A quick update of some things! Not anything huge to write up a whole blog post about, but I wanted to share some small things with my readers, friends, and fans.
I wanted to participate in the NASA Eclipse Art Quilt project, so I created this piece, titled “Totality”.

This has actually been in the works for some time now. If my digital mock up means anything, this work has been getting pecked at since April! It all started with some black paint…
Stuart Semple has this paint available called “Black 2.0” which is billed as the Blackest Black available. There’s a whole story behind why Stuart Semple made this black, which involves a lot of funny things and a fued between him and artist Anish Kapoor about Vantablack. I saw a sample of it online and just had to have some. No idea what I was going to do with it, what would make the most sense to try it out on or what would look most successful in it, but I doodled something up. I wanted to work on a longer canvas, and I wanted to give a sort of brightness and darkness to it. I knew I wanted to use contrasting blackest black and the whitest white I could get (heavy body titanium white, nothing special). So I ordered. And I waited for the Blackest Black to come in from the UK.
