get together an artist packet with nice prints of your images if that's how you want galleries to show them, a CV, artist statement (blahhh), and start researching local galleries for ones that think would fit with your stuff. researching is important lol. then send out your artist packets with a short, concise letter explaining you are interested in showing your work at their gallery. don't send your images to galleries that focus on, say, landscapes and flower paintings lol.

also look into local art festivals, studio crawls, etc. we are having an art crawl downtown tonight, about 7 locations all together. i gotta get down there :p

I've never had the money to print stuff out, so I've mainly just shown other digital abstract artists my work. How'd you know I was in evoke btw??

Recognised style to something id seen before and right clicked to see image source to see if it would trigger any memory ;)

I used to always check evoke, slashthree and obviously depthcore artpacks and then randomly stopped as my interest (not appreciation) in digital art faded...maybe i'll have to look again

Once upon a time, I was into art. But suddenly I wasn't. Just because of this brain with really weak imagination and visualization. Nothing pops up in my head whatever I look at, boring slob, so that's probably why I never manage to conversate with people.

What steps do you artists to prepare new art. Do you actually have a complete image with perfect details, the finished product, visualized in the head? And what do you do to increase inspiration and ideas.

I dont know if im an "artist" but i like to do artsy things, and when i do it i just start drawing or with photoshop start with a line or shape or image or something and just go from there until i get into the "zone" once im there it all starts falling together and is always based on my emotions at the time and how i feel.

With photoshop i just need a picture even if i just whip out my digital camera and just press the flash and upload it i can make it into any thing or color. I usually always do all my work in one sitting, like 45 minutes say and when im bored i stop. I dont ever push myself to finish something just to finish it. Art is always a very smooth, easy and natural process for me. If that makes any sense...

oh and inspiration wise, well thats all life and experiences and music for me. I really do love many psychedelics also and that has played an enormous role in me doing art, and figuring out how much I love it and figuring out who I actually am. Artists that I like also play a big deal but believe it or not there are a few people in this thread whose art i completely adore, its all the same I just love art.

I just really started doing "art" only a year or two ago, other than that i used to draw as a young child but I know how you feel up until a few years ago I used to wonder how to artists do that and what steps do they use to get to a full complete thing, but I dont think they do anything lol they just do it. PM if im not making sense lol. If you look at some of my art (its somewhere in this thread) you'll know what I mean.

epic. i really love your art, but this one really grabbed my attention.
if i saw this in a shop, i would more than likely buy it.
doesn't seem like you need too many pointers, just keep doing what your doing! if i were you i would keep at the psychedelic feel, i can see you progressing to crazy levels.


hope this isn't a repost.
just some uv reactive doodling on a hot girls arm.

I'm working on getting more prints now, it's expensive for the canvas ones, so I am just gonna get them on nice paper and maybe glue them on a hard back? Not sure yet.
 
Lovin it, lp!

Does anyone know of a web-based Photoshop type program i can use on my iPad? Trying to completely eliminate the need for my laptop and thats the last piece of the puzzle :)
