I’m proud to say that I am finally closing in on my latest Artomat series. Yeah, I know, it’s been a very looooong time. But when each painting takes so much time, and with such varied interests, it is hard to just commit and sit down and paint back to back to back.
I may be just about done with the miniature paintings, but it will still be a while before I am ready to send them in. Each of these paintings takes so long and has so much invested in it (building each miniature frame, creating a collage and then painting from the collage), that if I were to sell them individually on etsy or where-ever, I’d probably be pricing them no less than $30 each. The last time I contributed to Artomat, I blinked my eyes and they were already sold out. This time I hope to create about 2-300 prints (either silk screened, or gocco-ed) to space out the paintings with. The idea so far is to come up with about 20 to 30 little illustrations, pull 10 to 20 prints from each image, and then detail with watercolor.

Hi, I'm Robyn and I was Hatched from a Kinder Surprise Egg. Graphic Designer by day, Maker of things by night. I have worked as a graphic artist professionally since I was 16 years old. Went on to get my Bachelors of Art from NIU. I like to share my Artwork online at flickr.com/photos/robayre and on my own personal website http://www.robayre.com. I also have an online shop http://www.robayre.etsy.com where you can find more of my "crafty" sorts of things, as well as a random piece of artwork here and there. Oh, and I'm also an occasional contributor to Artomat (artomat.org).
Great news! I’m sure you’ll be happy to put this batch behind you. They look great.
They are so cute! I love ’em!
WOOT! They look great.
I love the way you sound so passionate about what you are writing. Keep up the great work!
