Coming up this year
Here’s what I have planned for this year:
Interviews with comic book artists.
I’m going to a few conventions this year, and I plan to take advantage of my press passes. I’ll be talking to comic artists, set designers, and the regular artist and author folks who come out.
Fashion designer posts.
I’m going to interview more fashion designers for posts this year. I have a few under my belt already, and I will be working on more as time goes by.
Posts on premium artist supplies.
From hand-dyed yarns, to hand-made canvases, to hand-woven fabrics, I plan on writing a special series of posts dedicated to getting info on the best artist and crafting supplies out there.
Posts on special-effects and professional makeup artistry.
From makeup for model shoots to monster magic, I’m going to highlight artists who are living out their dreams.
Regional hotspots.
This is where I’ll showcase the best of the best in different cities around the country.
The best on the web.
The best of artist and art-related Web sites.
General 451 mishmash.
I always keep my eyes on the 451 network for tidbits of information that interest me. I usually end up finding crafting challenges and recipes. You may have noticed italicized sections at the end of my posts where I add extra info I find, like a link to a recipe for Italian bread lasagna or get political and link to a post about gay rights. This will continue; it’s just a way for me to add a little bit of news from the network, since I browse through the new posts every day. Since there’s usually a couple of new posts every hour, there’s a lot to read through.
This is all in addition to highlighting artists, giving basic advice and keeping people up-to-date on my own progress.
