WHAT'S NEW??
lol... in the recent past, I've posted in this spot how 2018 was very busy for me and I didn't get a chance to devote as much time as I'd wanted to for my art. And then I noted that this was going to change in 2019.
Well... guess what? 2019 was a really busy year for me and I didn't get a chance to devote as much time as I'd have liked to my art. But gosh darn it!... 2020 is going to be different.
Still.... I've been enjoying myself and yes, I've even been creating quite a bit of art. I've created three DPM paintings, and as you might be able to see in the "Painting" area of the gallery, I've also started experimenting with Line work. While I don't have them (as of yet) posted to the site, I've created about 12 smaller pieces of art, most in this fashion.
As I've mentioned above, I've started to create quite a few paintings in smaller fashion. Certainly smaller than what I'm used to. And for many of these paintings, I've taken my minimum pricing standards off, in an effort to create more affordable art for everyone. This is something I'm calling my "GEM" series. Small, yet beautiful paintings. I'll try to get them posted soon, but in the meantime, if you look at the painting "Afterglow" in the year 2019 section of the painting gallery, you'll see what I mean by "Line Work".
And... by the way... I also have a couple newly painted jackets I haven't posted yet that are tre` cool. I'll get them in here soon too. If you haven't checked out the "Clothing" section of the gallery, give it a shot.
The following link has nothing to do with the show I was JUST in, but I think it's pretty darn cool, so I'm leaving it up anyway. It's a newspaper article from the New Haven Independent, written just after I finished my last show earlier this year. Check it out...
New Haven Independent - 3/2018
One of the cool parts about this story is that the photo of "Serpentine", which had been sold during the show, is actually a link to the video I put together while creating the painting.
As you can see, I'm setting up this site's store, a little at a time. A very little at a time actually, but it's getting there. I do have a problem with it though, and it works, very much, to your advantage. The type of site I subscribe to does not have a shipping calculator. Eventually, I'll have one, and shipping will be automatically included in the total charge. Before that, I will, eventually, have you call and I'll charge you off the site for the total charge. BUT... until either of those two things happen, you can now, for a short amount of time, purchase anything on this site, and if it doesn't have a shipping charge included, you get it for free shipping (within the U.S.). And believe me... shipping a painting can be really expensive. So now is an opportune time.
Thank you very much for venturing in here and taking a look at my art. It really is an honor and I hope you enjoy what you see.
Please feel free to sign up to be contacted for any notifications I might send out. I usually only send them out if I'm having a show. And if you have any questions... please contact me through the "Contact" link above.
Thank you!

Welcome to BoToDo Art & Photography!
Can you guess what BoToDo stands for? If you know the answer, click the Facebook "Like" button above. If you DON'T know the answer, click the Facebook "Like" button above. Either way, I'd love for you to "Like" my page. :) Go to the "Contact" page and shoot me an email. Tell me what you think "BoToDo" means. I enjoy hearing your guesses. And if you'd like, I'll send you an email back with the answer and an explanation. The "Gallery" - Here is where you can see all my Photography, Paintings, & Pencil on Wood art. You can click on each photo individually, close it and go on to the next, or you can open up one, click the little arrow on the side, and scroll through the entire category of art. The "Shop" - This is where you bring beauty into your life and others around you. This is where you lift people's spirits, acquire the ability to make people happy, and indirectly perform magic you never dreamed yourself capable of. Buying something from the BoToDo Art & Photography shop is like buying a super power!!! Unfortunately, the shop isn't finished yet. But it will be soon. The blog' "Inside My Head"" - Go check it out. I haven't really written much in it, but I am thinking of using it for my writings. They are as much an art form as anything else, although I'm not sure if anyone else considers my writings art. I'm going to find out though! Anyway... lyrics, poetry, essays... I'll probably put them all in there. "News & Clues" - This is where you can find events I'll be involved in, in the art world. "Videos" - I've taken to making videos of myself creating some of my paintings. They're all relatively short (3-10 minutes), and pretty enjoyable to watch. This is a fun section to be in. The "About" page - This is where I tell you all about why I create my art and what I'm looking to accomplish. My philosophy. I talk about my passion in regards to art. I normally can't stand to read "Artist Statements". They're usually way too esoteric for me. So hopefully, my Artist Statement is written a bit more simply. Just me...talking like an almost normal person. The "Contact" page - This is where you send me emails to suggest ways for me to make this site better, to tell me how much you already totally love this site, and to communicate about your indirect purchase of super powers from my shop! Most importantly...thank you for being here! I really do appreciate it. |
