Facebook page and Steampunk series start

Its about darn time I say! I finally have a facebook page for my etsy shop! Now you can go Like my shop! It's only been up a day so I could use the encouragement of seeing that "12 Likes" go up! Hopefully this will drive up traffic to my shop and get the word out!. Plus I wont have to continually be spamming my friends feeds with new etsy posts when I'm sure of them (guys) don't really care all that much. Though a few of my guy friends have "Liked" my page already. Which I totally appreciate the support from all of my friends.


Since my last post two days ago I have decided to add international shipping to my shop. Which, hopefully will expand my viewer pool even more. I'm really trying to figure out ways on how to drive traffic to my sight. Since I'm going to be doing more of my steampunk series I really think that will give me a nitch I've been lacking for a while now.

Which reminds me, I need to share some of my new etsy makes. This idea came to me a few months ago and I've been rolling it around in my head for quite some time. Because of this idea, I've been on the hunt for specific pieces to make it actually come to life. And along the way I happen to be collecting some really neat items. Unfortunately I haven't been able to make my new idea reality... yet (yes it's a secret); as I haven't found the right pieces to put it all together. Though, as a result of my collecting, I've started making a new line of items for my etsy shop. Since I don't have the right material to make my new idea a reality, just yet, I have created something else in the meantime. Alas my new steampunk series.

I have to admit I am having quite a blast with it. I have to stop myself from spending all of my free time working on this stuff because then I never get anything else done! I do have to find a nice balance though, between finding the time to create with my hands, and finding the time to do the other things I need to be doing!

I wrote this post out yesterday while I was using a different internet connection. And I saved it, instead of posting it, hoping to add more later. For some reason, now that I am at home, I'm not able to get any new pictures to upload onto this post today. So I guess that means the post is going up as is!!

Never Die Art is to die for!

It's been waaaaaay too long since my last post and so much has happened between here and there. I have since moved out to LA to pursue my career as a 3D Artist. And this is the place to be if I want to get anywhere within the field. I've made a lot of new items for my etsy shop and have a whole new series of steampunk items I've been making. It's been a fun journey to see where things will go and it is unfortunate that I don't get to work on this stuff as much as I would like to. Jobs have a tendency to take away so much free time!

Anyway instead of writing a post on what I've been adding to my etsy shop, today I'm going to focus my attention on another etsy shop that I absolutely LOVE, NeverDieArt! In fact today I just purchased my first item from her, as I have been eyeing this print for a few weeks now.


I honestly can't stop looking through all of her pages. Her artwork is awesome! Her shop consists mostly of prints in different sizes ranging from 5x7 to 11x14 prints of her paintings at a nice low price. However if you just have to have the original painting, she sells those as well on her shop.

And if you're interested in seeing her process work you can add her on facebook as well, which I myself am about to go do!




And the freaking awesome print I just purchased!:


And this is the next one I hope to purchase

Dia de Los Muertos Sugar Skull Girl Portrait with Flowers

I could keep posting and posting but in all honesty you just need to go to her shop and check her stuff out. Then buy something!

Great art deserves to be celebrated!
