Intro to Art
There’s a faint nose in there still, but I like it SO MUCH BETTER now. Also, I just took my Intro to Art PRACTICE Exam and scored 97%! It doesn’t tell me which questions are wrong though! So I don’t know what to study to get it to 100%. 😥 I really enjoyed taking Introduction […]

The actual paintable area of these postcards is a slightly tall square of approximately 3.75 inches. I wasn’t really used to painting on surfaces that small when I started and wasn’t sure I’d be able to work a lot on them, but I have proven myself wrong. Check out postcard 20! The light refraction off […]

Things Change, People Change
I’m 18 days into the 100 day challenge that I decided to do… When I’m not planning out every detail or constructing each piece mentally before ever touching a brush to canvas, I don’t make pop art. When it’s just me and one of these postcards and I only have five or ten minutes before […]

New 100 Day Challenge
I bought a box of 100 Pantone postcards. I’m going to try to paint one every day for 100 days. Drawing randomly and getting inspiration from the color. (Or Pinterest if inspiration doesn’t strike on its own.) Today I used Posca acrylic paint markers. (I’ll probably use them most days, because they glide on these […]

When I Go Dark…
No one has ever told me that they expect certain things from me… on my public instragram, I mean. (People have—in plenty of way at other times and in other places—let me know exactly what they expect from me.) But I still feel this sort of pressure to get reactions or to sell. And when […]

It’s Not Going To…
I finished two new digital art pieces yesterday. Just a bit of cheeky fun. I like how the visuals are roughly the same, but the messages are not. One is an invitation and one is basically saying “kiss my ass.” I was going to put them in my Ko-fi shop, but because they are illustrated […]

Ko-fi?
I saw a TikTok artist posting about Ko-fi and was curious. So I signed up! I’m @thepopartgirl, as always and you can find my Ko-fi here. It encouraged me to put a “goal” so I did. However, I am saving up for two things. One is actually an iPad. The other is a show in […]

Big Neon
There is one problem with this painting that I need to address now that it’s available for purchase. If you touch it and your hands have ANYTHING on them it will transfer to the background. It’s not sealed yet, but this will still happen even after I apply sealant… because it is so dark. This […]

New Tentacle Tongue
I finished this painting yesterday and sealed it today. Progress videos are on my TikTok and Instagram accounts (@thepopartgirl). This is acrylic on a 12” by 12” stretched canvas with finished edges. I haven’t been as productive as I would have liked this week, but I still got everything that I needed to get done […]
