Inspiring Artists...I Wanna Know

Art by Italian artist, Evelyn Daviddi

The holiday season has kept me busy, with little time to work on my art.  However, my mind is still contemplating ideas to try when I get the time.  One fabulous outlet for me has been (and I'm sure always will be) the children's section at my local library!  I will try to remember to write down the names of all the illustrators I like.  I'm starting out with Evelyn Daviddi, an Italian artist.  I didn't find much about her, but her work is so creative.  I first saw her art in the children's book, I Love Chocolate.  I, myself, like chocolate, but love her color palettes and the texturing she uses.  The composition of her artwork makes for interesting points of view.  Cute stuff! 

Merry Christmas!

Submitting Myself to Submission

My husband made me aware of this awesome site http://artists.gawker.com/
The following is a description of the goal of the site:
"Gawker Artists is a curated online art community and exhibition program promoting the works of artists of all media. Participating artists receive profile pages on Gawker Artists and are eligible to have their works published in the ad space on Gawker Media titles and included in Gawker Artist sponsored exhibitions. All participation for artists and exhibitors is free. "


I decided to go for it and submit some of my work.  I think the hardest thing about submitting work--other than the possibility of being denied--is deciding what the person(s) on the other end is interested in seeing.  I think style, as much as talent, is considered when assessing whether the artist will be accepted.  With that said...much luck is desired!
