I guess I've taken off enough time for Thanksgiving. It's back to the drawing board for me!! Or, more like, back to photo transfers. I will be working on the two commissioned photo transfers today. I gathered up my water color tools of the trade, worked on the images that the clients sent me, so now I've got to actually CREATE the works!
These two projects have a tendency to be just a little on the complicated side. Both clients sent photos that are of people. Rather small images of people I might add, so I'm not sure how this is going to turn out. It could turn out to be abstract art! But not really, as these folks have their hearts set on realism. I'll keep you posted on these projects. And with all the shows over, I really need to get back in the groove of the darkroom!
I received an email over the weekend from a gentleman who was requesting a copy of the manual for the Vivitar Enlarger/Model E-54 that I have. He apparently purchased one but had no manual. So since it's only about 8 pages long I sent him a copy. Told him it was his Christmas present! ; ) I believe in 'passing it on'. However, if anyone is ever looking for a manual for an old camera or enlarger or anything pertaining to that realm, a good website is: www.khbphotografix.com or Tex's Surplus Sales. These are how I found manuals for both my enlargers and for an older film camera.
Another item I wanted to share with artists is a website I found for a gallery in Scottsdale, AZ. It is called Xanadu Gallery: www.xanadugallery.com. They have online free broadcasts (both live and archived) of various subject matters for artists. Some of the recent sessions included: marketing, how to package paintings for mailings, etc. And you can always submit your works to them for representation, special gallery events, to name a few.
Gotta get busy now!
