Good Sunday Morning!

Thank you for al of the updates KickinIt and the over night crew.

Hawaii has a lot of shaken going on.....

Yeah, the uptick in Hawaii is a bit concerning. And that super deep M5 in Philippines. And Cali is moving all over.

This chart has been pretty wacky for the past 24 hours too

Hi. I am not very computer literate, but am slowly figuring it out.
I have finally figured out how to post some pictures on here. So, I wanted to share a few. My husband draws, usually with a #2 pencil, but sometimes with colored pencils or pen and ink. Then I color a lot of it, but he colors,too. We use prismacolor pencils.

Could Mount Kilauea slip into the Pacific, there is an unnerving amount of activity there..
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22590418


Let's hope not. Here's a short article about it from a year ago. There seems to be different opinions out there as to whether this scenario could happen or not. But we have been noticing here lately an increase of deeper quakes (around 30-35km) in that area.


Taken all together, these observations suggest that movement on the Hilina fault system occurs only very occasionally and perhaps only together with the very largest earthquakes, like the 1975 Kalapana earthquake. The Hilina fault system certainly plays a role in Kilauea's complex dynamics and understanding that role is important in order to know the full range of hazards on the volcano. The USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory continues to monitor motion on Kilauea's south flank to better determine the area's hazard potential.

I love these! The style of the artwork and all the symbolism reminds me of the work of a local artist here that I own a few paintings from. Very nice! Does he do it just for enjoyment or does he sell any of it? Thanks for sharing Gaia.
 Quoting: KickinIt



We definitely sell, every opportunity we get. Many pieces we had fine art, limited edition prints made, posters, stickers, t-shirts and or course originals.
Sim said I could make a post when the pandemic shut everything down to try and sell some, but I couldn't figure it out.
But selling is challenging and trying to sell doesn't pay the bills. So even though we want to be professional artists full time, it hasn't happened yet.
Thank you for looking. It is always good to hear someone likes it. Each large piece can take 100+ hours for him to draw and if we want a colored version, we have to go to a fine art printer and have an enlarged print made that the lines can barely be seen. Then one of us colors that print and we have a colored original then, as well. It took me about 100 hours to color the Gaia's Time piece. It's 4-8 layers of colored pencils on the entire piece.
Then back to the printer's.
Everything is drawn and colored by hand.

Thanks.hf
 Quoting: Gaia, The Goddess


They're beautiful and I can tell they take a lot of work with all that detail. Have you guys thought about creating an Etsy account or something similar to sell your goods? Not sure if they charge a fee or anything, but that's a way to reach a lot of people.

It's definitely hard to make a living off being an artist, sadly. Hence the term "starving artist". I've only known one person who has ever managed to live 100% off the sale of art. She paints, and her specialty is portraits and other similar commissioned stuff. She is very good, but I still give her credit for managing that kind of success. I mean, how often do people want a portrait painted these days?

Anyhow, don't give up on your dream! Try some different avenues to sell your work and open some social media accounts where you can advertise your artwork for free.

hugs
 Quoting: KickinIt


Thank you for the encouragement. We presently have a fb page for the art, but that's all. I have attempted to create a website, but that's been a while. I just don't know how to do it. And hiring someone to do it isn't in the cards for us, because of $. We have come close many times to being able to get the art out to the world, but many obstacles always seem to stand in the way, from homelessness to people actually stealing it and making there own sites for it. Someone actually tried and did create a business to make t-shirts, printing machines and all that go with that business, so we could be partners in t-shirt business. He spent thousands on equipment, then he stole all our digitized images and started selling shirts with our art on it. He didn't last long at it though because he shortly ended up in the hospital for breathing issues and was there for months. His business folded, after that. So I don't think he made much from it. I guess Creator was looking out for us.
Anyway, lots of obstacles seem to get in the way.
Sorry, for the lengthy response. Which by the way, this is my 3rd attempt at responding to you. For some reason each time I hit post there's been a problem. Obstacles.
Thank you for looking, liking, and the encouragement. It's hard to not give up, but I just can't seem to give up on the art even though it might be best.

I love these! The style of the artwork and all the symbolism reminds me of the work of a local artist here that I own a few paintings from. Very nice! Does he do it just for enjoyment or does he sell any of it? Thanks for sharing Gaia.

We definitely sell, every opportunity we get. Many pieces we had fine art, limited edition prints made, posters, stickers, t-shirts and or course originals.
Sim said I could make a post when the pandemic shut everything down to try and sell some, but I couldn't figure it out.
But selling is challenging and trying to sell doesn't pay the bills. So even though we want to be professional artists full time, it hasn't happened yet.
Thank you for looking. It is always good to hear someone likes it. Each large piece can take 100+ hours for him to draw and if we want a colored version, we have to go to a fine art printer and have an enlarged print made that the lines can barely be seen. Then one of us colors that print and we have a colored original then, as well. It took me about 100 hours to color the Gaia's Time piece. It's 4-8 layers of colored pencils on the entire piece.
Then back to the printer's.
Everything is drawn and colored by hand.

Thanks.hf

They're beautiful and I can tell they take a lot of work with all that detail. Have you guys thought about creating an Etsy account or something similar to sell your goods? Not sure if they charge a fee or anything, but that's a way to reach a lot of people.

It's definitely hard to make a living off being an artist, sadly. Hence the term "starving artist". I've only known one person who has ever managed to live 100% off the sale of art. She paints, and her specialty is portraits and other similar commissioned stuff. She is very good, but I still give her credit for managing that kind of success. I mean, how often do people want a portrait painted these days?

Anyhow, don't give up on your dream! Try some different avenues to sell your work and open some social media accounts where you can advertise your artwork for free.

Thank you for the encouragement. We presently have a fb page for the art, but that's all. I have attempted to create a website, but that's been a while. I just don't know how to do it. And hiring someone to do it isn't in the cards for us, because of $. We have come close many times to being able to get the art out to the world, but many obstacles always seem to stand in the way, from homelessness to people actually stealing it and making there own sites for it. Someone actually tried and did create a business to make t-shirts, printing machines and all that go with that business, so we could be partners in t-shirt business. He spent thousands on equipment, then he stole all our digitized images and started selling shirts with our art on it. He didn't last long at it though because he shortly ended up in the hospital for breathing issues and was there for months. His business folded, after that. So I don't think he made much from it. I guess Creator was looking out for us.
Anyway, lots of obstacles seem to get in the way.
Sorry, for the lengthy response. Which by the way, this is my 3rd attempt at responding to you. For some reason each time I hit post there's been a problem. Obstacles.
Thank you for looking, liking, and the encouragement. It's hard to not give up, but I just can't seem to give up on the art even though it might be best.
