Hi – I promised you last week i would upload something for the gallery every Wednesday – I made this during the week and managed to take a photo of it earlier in the week when the sun was shining -
I’ve recently added some more works to my Etsy Shop (Arty Aitch) which has been neglected lately due to Christmas and the production I was involved in at our local amdram society in January. Doing tasks like this always seems to take longer than I anticipate. I started taking the photographs of each item yesterday morning. Then I uploaded them onto the PC, saved each image as a both hi-res one in my art folder and a “save for web” sized image for uploading on-line (which I save into a separate folder on my PC). Naming each image relevant to how I perceive it probably makes the job longer, but I find it’s easier to locate if I give appropriate file-names to my images.
I then spent much of the afternoon writing up the details of each item for the description as I entered it into my shop. I find this sort of thing a real slog, so maybe that’s why it takes so long, but I’m glad to say that now I do at least have all my mini paintings photographed and in my Etsy shop – and I have created a document listing them all on my PC too, so I can keep track of where they are if I use them for a Craft Fair or sell any etc.
Here are a few of the mini paintings I’ve just uploaded:
"Alternatively" - mini painting with easel.
"Celestial" - mini painting with easel
"Running On Time" - mini painting with easel
i know that she knows – tomorrows journeys – latest little textile stitch artwork – I am going to try to update this gallery space once a week maybe on a wednesday – thank you for your patience. 
going to get more of my work in the Rogue Gene Gallery to give you the opportunity to view and make it easier for you to purchase my work it you desire to. This is one of my first pieces for the new year – it is small mixed media collage on odd shaped canvas – it is approx 5″ x7″ it comes to you unframed – so you can decide how you would like to display and frame it yourself – It is called ‘essexgirl spirit of home’ ……for all of you that might be missing essex for one reason or other 
After making the acquaintance of guitarist Eddy Morris, his band Aggressus have asked me to work with them, supplying artwork to help their next stage of development. They have a three track demo CD available and a promo video on You Tube, for their track ‘Arrogance of God‘.
They will need artwork for their demo CD, Tee Shirts/ merchandise and front and back covers for their upcoming album ‘Martyrs of the Revolution’ which is awaiting final touches in the studio.
Art has had a healthy relationship with music packaging since the mid 60′s and despite the trend in digital recording and downloading, the visual dimension is still an essential part of a band’s identity. Whether you like the music or not, I think that metal bands’ interest in Fine Art (and Literature) is one of the things that make them interesting.
