Two of my artist friends urged me to go see the Multiplicity: Blackness in Contemporary American Collage exhibit on display at The Phillips Collection in downtown DC ... and I'm so glad they did!
My spotlights this month focus on embracing inspiration 🙏🏽
This month is all about clippings ✂️ for collage, collage, and more collage
The point of playing around with sketchbook spreads isn't always a finished portfolio piece
3 visual endeavors I've enjoyed this month 🙏🏽
The thick bold lines, limited palette, and stylized imagery of American Tradition tattoo art inspired these in-progress sketches that, one day, will end up as finished line art for wall art or T-shirt designs
I don't think I can resist the creative draw of fabric art 🧵 and embroidered illustration 🪡 for too much longer!
Thrift store finds, like this brand-name fabric wallet by Vera Bradley®, offer wonderful opportunities for upscaling with paints and trims
