The Columbus Arts Festival is only a few days away.  Lots of sweat has gone into making a great 2nd year that the Independent Arts groups here in Columbus have been invited to take part and to add some local flavor.  Come visit us in the Columbia Gas parking lot at the corner of Rich and Civic Center Drive.  I'll also be hanging out in the studio of the Columbus Artmobile the first part of the day on Saturday.  Here is a little taste of what I've made to have displayed.

A different flavor...

Trying out some new things and a new style.  Going old Skool with these!

A take on Marilyn Monroe with the addition of some bright bold colors and some old 8 bit flavor...And a little Spock too!

Spock is currently for sale at Travonna Coffee House and the Marilyn will be at Dane's Dessert Cafe for May Gallery Hop and throughout that month!

A little video that I made experimenting with shooting myself painting.  I love to watch other artists paint and often check out YouTube and Vimeo to get my fix.  So I thought that I would try my hand at it ;)

Also here is a sneak peek at my newest Frankenstein on canvas.  I have been mainly staying away from canvas as a support however I decided to reclaim an old canvas and this is what I gots!

Good morning Boys and Girls! So been busy with art group things and art things and doing things to the house so we can put it on the market things.  Have a few new pieces to share...

Here is the newest piece that I am really happy about.  It's for the Feverhead Alternative Valentine's Day Show.  Really sweet event.  Check out the event page here http://www.facebook.com/events/192946324133817/

The piece is based on a Lichtenstein comic piece and I thought that Frank and his bride went perfectly with the theme.  AND you all know how I feel about Frank in my art :)





And here is another Frank-a-licious piece.  Basically, it's a stenciled aerosol rectangle with a relief lino print over top in ink.  I tested out several colors and you can see them on my Flickr page...http://www.flickr.com/photos/donnaestep/

Woo Hoo, Printmaking!  I do enjoy doing something a little out of the ordinary from time to time, so I pulled out the linoleum to take part in an upcoming Printmaking show at CS Gallery in Olde Town East.  This is a lino print version of my painting Franken-Five and I think it came out pretty good.  This one is just a test with a stamp pad...I'll post the finished ones once I have them photographed.

And yes I am crazy and decided to do not one but TWO new lino block prints for this show.  This one is based on a patterned tessellation that I came up with.  Frankenstein alternated with flames.  I'm pretty sure this one is going to get some hand coloring on the finished product.

Well, Keep coming back!  I'm aiming at blogging about something new about once a week, as long as it isn't boring!  Peace!

New look and such

I've not been happy with the layout of this blog pretty much from the beginning and I kept putting it to the back burner.  Well no more!  and I think I actually like this one.

Since the last time I posted, I have sold a number of pieces during Urban Scrawl and Indpendent's Day.  I might even go for my own booth next year at Independent's Day since I did so well.  Make sure you check out my flickr to see some of the latest creations.  Here's a preview of one I did for the theme wall at Travonna Coffee House.

Agora 8 Show

Did the Agora 8 show at Junctionview Studios.  It was pretty awesome to see so many pieces of art from all types of artists coming together in one space.  Junctionview is amazing and if I had some extra bucks would love to have a studio there! Just working among all of those artists has to rub off some imspiration!  Here is a pic of the piece that I had in there!
