Anonymous asked: The many pieces you've done aren't in your store. I assume you sold them, and I was wondering if you would ever consider making more. I would love to buy one. For example, I adore "Drip", "Soaked", "storytime", and “Play on Words” but I am unable to buy any of them. Such a conundrum.

Actually, the pieces available here in my store are ones that I currently have prints of, I still have the majority of the originals I’ve posted.”Soaked” prints are available online, but as for the others, it’s really great to hear that you’re interested, I’ll put some thought into the viability of having prints done of them. thanks for the message :)

Anonymous asked: what originally made you enjoy art? what is your motivation for you to continue?

Gee Whiz! Well, I’ve always enjoyed art. I used to classes when I was little on Saturdays. They were cool.

I suppose I got really serious about it when I was about 16. I made a little comic about an ex boyfriend. I worked on it for hours everyday. That made me realize just how much I enjoyed it. Since then I’ve felt the need to draw something every day.

I do it because I like it. Creating something that wasn’t there before makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something and made a little mark on the world. Someday, many, many years from now, I’m going to die and then I won’t be able to make art anymore and so I do it now.

Thanks so much for this question.
