Another Painting

Its amazing what you can do with just a tube of black paint and a tube of white paint.

Upon The Deep

Waves of woodlands snowy crested,
Water mountains shining foam,
Cloud fronts break upon the heavens,
Beneath a blue bejewelled dome.

Water kingdoms, inland islands,
Hand in hand are land and sea
And we adrift upon the waters
Dwell in dreams of ecstasy.

Depths of dungeon, endless ocean,
Looking out upon the deep
Drowning in unfathomed wonders.
We drift into euphoric sleep.

I'm now selling prints and stuff on Redbubble!

I am now selling my artwork on prints and stuff on Redbubble!

Here's my store:

http://www.redbubble.com/people/magicalglow/shop

The username 'jpmorrow' was taken, so now I am 'magicalglow' on Redbubble. I think instead of putting up all my artwork I will only put up realistic style paintings that have a magically luminous quality to them.

Which of course means I have to do more painting!  :)

Now of course Redbubble has a minimum payment threshold of $20, which means that people can buy lots of stuff and if my share of it is less than that I don't get paid.  I can just see myself as a doddering old 90 year old, sitting there on a park bench going "oh yes I still have a Redbubble account... its got $1.38 on it... maybe if someone buys something I'll be able to draw it out!"

So what I did about that was I marked up the artist percentage on everything so I get $20 dollars no matter what people buy.  So if everything on here seems too expensive I still have my Society 6 store where I have a wider selection of art for cheaper:

Because S6 is cool like that!

I like Redbubble and see my setting up a store there as an opportunity to hone my craft as an artist and the moral of this story is that I need to do more painting!

Thanks for reading <3 :)

Our Lady Undoer Of Knots

I finished this today, it is an outline drawing based on this artwork:

Our Lady Undoer of Knots

By:

Portraits of Saints

I'm fairly happy with how it turned out and I like to think Our Lady is too. ^-^

So, I started a group on Deviantart!

Life In General


I believe that art is fundamentally about something far more important than shaping society.  The world has always been run by assholes and it will always continue to be so.  Nothing we can do will ever change that.  However art is about truth and beauty, mostly beauty, and I will continue to uphold these virtues through my art no matter how dark it gets.
