A New Partnership with Abstract Art Canada.

Art Sales, Events & Announcements
As of November 2021 I am excited to be showing my Fun Money series of abstract paintings alongside the artists of Abstract Art Canada. Fun Money: Can I Lick It? (Guilty Pleasures), Debbie.lee Miszaniec This autumn I was invited by artist Jim Ulrich to show my abstract art through a new art e-commerce venue, Abstract Art Canada. I was impressed by the small and targeted selection of artists represented through Abstract Art Canada, the focus on learning more about the artist, as opposed to being just another sales portal, and the truly supportive interaction with the Abstract Art Canada team! Check it out, make a purchase, support Canadian Art and let yourself be transported out of your everyday, without even leaving home!

Am I the @$$hole?

Am I the @$$hole?

Art Sales, Working Artist
So there are a lot of things artists gamble their money on, because as they say, it takes money to make money. But it is also said that during the gold-rush days it wasn't gold miners, but merchants that ultimately cashed in on the dream. So a bit under a year ago I was approached by an individual starting up a website promoting local art and artists to those interested in buying local during this time of Covid induced closures and cancellations of the traditional venues and events for art purchases. The website offered Basic and Premium listings. Basic listing were free, with artists listings found under media categories. Each listing included a bio, an art image, a headshot and contact information. Premium listings (I don't recall what the subscription…

Covid Chronicles Shop Update:

Art Sales, Covid-19 Art, Sketchbooks
The prints on offer during the July Pre-sale Hi all! So in July I let you all know in a blog post that not all of the Covid Chronicles products being offered on pre-sale would be on offer after the pre-sale. The pre-sale might have been the only opportunity to purchase some items. So following from that, a few items (greeting and post cards, some of the print images) offered then will not be offered for sale again in the near future. Kudos to you if you did manage to scoop an item not currently on offer, and thank you all for your support of art and artists!

Limited Edition 100: means I won’t produce more than that (I may produce less, or none).

Art Sales, Covid-19 Art, Working Artist
The pre-order period for the most recent Covid-19 images is nearly up, 9 days (July 19th) until it closes. Now is the time to add to your collection. All people ordering before July 19th will receive a free 11"x17" portfolio of the final 19 drawings. So that's a great reason to purchase your drawing, print, book, zine or cards now. After the pre-sale that portfolio will be 15$ plus shipping, while quantities last. I mean, you can wait until whenever to try to order some of the print pieces, some will be available, but some will not. If there are no orders of the object of your desire during the pre-sale then I won't produce it (unless you want one of the original drawings, in which case when it's SOLD,…

Covid-19 Sketchbook Tour 2

Art Sales, Covid-19 Art, Events & Announcements, Sketchbooks, The Sunflower Project, Youtube Channel
It has been over a month since my last blog post and even while the world whirs on with Covid-19 and police brutality protests I have been playing studio catch-up and still don't feel like I have had time to catch my breath. https://youtu.be/AOE3WJaJ_qw So I am really happy that I finally got the second sketchbook tour together for you and uploaded this week. I think you will find some of the images a bit darker, maybe a bit resigned to the craziness that is the human response to a crisis of this nature. Others are clearly looking forward to sunny summer days ahead. Please enjoy! Below you can see the final four drawings in the second series of Covid-19 drawings, which I completed on May 18th (a full 3…

Studio Life & Covid-19 Part 7

Art Sales, Covid-19 Art, Sketchbooks, The Story Behind the Painting, The Sunflower Project, What's the Big Idea?
As social (physical) distancing drags on people are dreaming of getting their lives back. I have three more drawings in the Covid-19 series, this first is inspired by a study which surveyed how the pandemic was manifesting in peoples dreams. The second is about the realities of parents, grandparents and volunteer caregivers who are now juggling the responsibilities of full time child care and full time remote work. It is a blessing of communications technology that many are able to do this and maintain income security. Some telecommuters are able to help family members who are considered front line essential services, but without child care, to maintain their income security by pulling double duty. However it needs to be recognized that of necessity neither job is going to get the…

Studio Life & Covid-19 Part 6

Art Sales, Covid-19 Art, Sketchbooks, The Story Behind the Painting, The Sunflower Project, What's the Big Idea?, Working Artist, Youtube Channel
So I feel like we have settled into a little routine or a new normal, as they are saying now, although we are all looking forward to (if not quite certain about) plans to ease restrictions and re-open businesses. There was a lot of questions about herd immunity, and whether this can be relied upon to protect us as we start going out in public again. How many would need to be immune and how long does immunity last? My thoughts are that if you are in a high risk category you should probably play it safe for a while yet, while if you are healthy you can probably have a little more faith in the ability of the medical system to take care of you should your case be…

Studio Life & Covid-19 Part 5

Art Sales, Covid-19 Art, Events & Announcements, What's the Big Idea?, Working Artist, Youtube Channel
It is almost a month and a half now since Covid-19 was declared a global Pandemic and our lives here in North America went topsy turvy. I think a lot of people are appreciating the warmer weather, but not sure how they are going to enjoy it this summer. All of our plans are under revision now. Amidst a whole raft of summer event cancellations, it was announced this week that the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede is officially cancelled for 2020. I anticipated this, however I know that the organizers, competitors, exhibitors and vendors were all hoping that somehow it could go ahead. The event brings millions of visitors from all over the globe to Calgary, and generates multi-millions of dollars of revenue. There are visual artists in the Artist's…
