I have a lot of events to go to this week and no business cards... hmm.. what to do in such a short amount of time? Why not make my own?! 

Yesterday I hurried into my studio to start working on some business cards. With some bristol board, black mi-teintes paper and supplies I brought back from the USA I completed 36 cards within 6-7 hours (including some breaks). My brain was pooped at the end, but I feel really good about what I accomplished.

If I were to have more time and do something similar again I might just have my info printed on the back and I could sketch in the front. 

Next post I hope to talk about the events I am going to this week and about my personal project. 

I have been wanting to participate in the Daily Spitpaints where you only have half an hour to come up with the concept for the theme and paint it! Speed is key here.. I think I want to do them as daily warm ups. So for the first one I did the theme was "Cherry Blossom Dress" and I created a scene of a skeleton under a cherry blossom tree. The blossoms falling onto the remains forms a sort of dress. The idea behind this came to me from the idea of the Cherry blossom being a fleeting beauty that will die. The painting is rough, but it's my first quick one :).
