Making Small Art

It's been a few years now that I have really gotten into this idea of making really small objects. If I called them art it would be incorrect, they're not quite works of art but they are pictures and objects etc. I really enjoy it though, working in really small sizes. There is a freedom to it and it plays into an idea I have of making really affordable works/objects that anyone can afford as a gateway to getting the average person into collecting art as a hobby and/or passion. In these times we, artists, need to find ways to draw people outside of art collecting circles to us and gain new audiences and perhaps new love of art and objects to be passed on to younger generations. Silly, goofy, unrealistic, idealistic.. Yes. But why not?

ATC Mania!

So late last year I fell deep into making ATCs aka Artist Trading Cards. They're a ton of fun to make and they get to be quite addictive both in collecting and making! I will try to make a little post every weekday with one of these til I have posted all of them here. So enjoy my current art-mania, ATCs!

Happy New Year's/Top 10 Singles of 1975

Happy New Year's! I know it's been forever since I've updated but I have been doing quite a bit of small pieces of art, just not much on the Beyond The Lines front! To tide all things over, enjoy this video podcast I did of my Top 10 Singles of 1975!
