…altered doodles #26
No, this is not a cut out of the state of Tennessee, or any other state.
I’m on doodle day #26 and playing around with altering the drawings. Fun!
….216 hours away!!
Letter Love 101: Art Journaling goes LIVE in NINE days!!!! (and give or take a few hours on that 216 number) I must say that i am officially “beside myself” with excitement launching my online class next WEEK!!!
I keep adding to all the lessons and think there might just be “too much” in this class? Could there be such a thing? Oh well, just means that there will be more to come after this one. In the meantime, those who have signed up will be treated to a ton of fun and art adventure. So much that they’ll have to watch the class over and over again just to catch every morsel of creative wisdom! And they CAN, because this class is open forever.
I’ve received so many beautiful messages, so excited and inspiring, compounding the fact that i have enormous artful expectations to live up to.
I’m soooo ready.
This is my debut class, i have butterflies, it’s like having a first child again!!
Okay, breathe………………………………… (see!)
Still time to sign up! Register at the link in the top left corner of this blog and see you on launch day, Wednesday, February 1, 2012!
shine doodle…
Here’s doodle 21 of DOODLE 365. I must say that i am rather proud to have made it thus far, knowing that it takes 21 days to make a habit.
Adding one extra doodle for this leap year i have only 345 little doodles to go!
…scoop in my favorite magazines…
On the news stands at this very moment…..it’s my honor and privilege to be published in TWO Stampington magazines this month!
SOMERSET STUDIO January/February 2012
First, here’s my Somerset Studio piece “One Page Wonder” in the “Lively Art of Lettering” section. It colorfully shows my painted and hand lettered homemade journal that celebrates yummy color and a variety of my unconventional calligraphy.
I must admit, it took my breath away to see a vibrant close up of my artwork on the WHOLE page!
I’ll be teaching this as a mixed media class called “One Page Wonder” at the Create Mixed Media Retreat in Somerset, New Jersey this July. Registration opens soon.
and second…
ART JOURNALING magazine WINTER 2012
Stampington’s Art Journaling magazine was, a dream on my “vision board” last year. Here i am again, in this beautiful article they called “A Life of Art”……..pitter patter, dreams come true, breathe….sigh!!!! It never ever gets old seeing your name and art in print.
This article showcases my rich, juicy canvas panel journal that i will be teaching at Create Mixed Media retreats in California in May and New Jersey in July. You can join us in person!!!
My artwork was printed perfectly, accurate color tones and byline, yay!!
***SCOOP ALERT*** Now, in each issue, they ask a few of the featured artists about their process and techniques. It’s always brilliant! I was reading the text under my name on four of the topic pages, and thought, “hmmmm, i said that? Doesn’t sound like anything I WOULD SAY??!”. I was a little freaked out about it. Especially that it said that i had no formal training (and i spent a fortune on my art education degree) AND that “lettering was the bane of my existence”(and i pretty much have based my career on my lettering!)
I contacted my very kind and gracious editor and she acknowledged the printing error. She’ll be noting the correction in the next issue.
A few days later, i got an email from Donna Mulholland, the extremely talented, whimsical watercolorist and yoga guru from Canada. She informs me that the responses in the issue under my name are HER RESPONSES!!! Mystery solved! We had a nice chat and a good laugh, and know that “stuff happens”. That’s how we make new art friends.
So, when you are reading the issue, know that the text in these “Ask the Artist” pages identified as JOANNE SHARPE, really belong to Donna Mulholland. Check out her blog, she has such a wonderful painting and journaling style. She also blogged about this experience today.
….”lettering was once the bane of my existence”…DONNA MULHOLLAND
I’ll say it again, it really is an HONOR to be featured in such beautiful publications that celebrate the talent of so many wonderful art souls.
Thank you Stampington, for including me, appreciating my art
and making this journey a great adventure with you!
the Color Cafe…
I’m a lucky girl (even have a doodle to prove it, below!) to have so many wonderful friends in the “art business”. It’s rare to find those who freely share, encourage and support others in a very competitive industry. Brenda Pinnick is one of those great people. She’s a talented artist who has licensed her art for years on fabric, gifts, flags and crafts products. Brenda loves color as much as i do, perhaps that’s why we connected instantly!
Recently Brenda created a blog called “Color Cafe” which celebrates color. Just color! I was invited to share on the blog and am featured today with a few of my most favorite colorful pieces. Go on over! Bookmark and enjoy.
