New painting: Dawn Beach Lattice

karynlewis — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:18:56 +0000

Another new abstract painting. I created this one with colors that reminded me of the beach, although, not literally. Like the rest of the abstracts in my “lattice” series, this painting was created digitally. I started in Photoshop with a canvas that was 10×8 inches and laid down a mix of tans and aquas with custom brushes. Over that I picked a couple of custom brushes that were made from photos of bricks and randomly stamped them into a grid, or ‘lattice’ which I then added color too, trying for a harmonious balance. I used texture on my brushes to try and achieve a traditional paint feel to the image, and when I was happy, I flattened the canvas and overlaid it with more texture scans. The final result is below, and it’s available in my Zazzle store on a variety of products.

New Abstract Painting, Colorful Lattice

Last night I finished a new abstract painting in Photoshop. Painting abstracts is very relaxing for me. And challenging. They don’t always come together. This one follows my “lattice” series of paintings, where I lay down a background, “stamp” it with a random grid pattern, and then paint colorful squares on top of it. Here it is below as a print, ready to purchase from Zazzle.

New Clip art, added to Etsy

For a while now, I’ve offered royalty free clip art for sale on my site, with the intention of expanding the collection. Life and other commitments got in the way, and stalled the project.

After working with Etsy to list my jewelry (and if you’d like to see what I’ve been up to on that front, visit http://plussizebangles.com), I discovered how easy Etsy is to use. So much less hassle than doing the code myself.

After recieving a recent clip art request, I decided I’d like to revisit the project. But this time around, the clip art will be sold through Etsy. You can still access it via this site, or you can head directly over to my second home on Etsy: Karyn Lewis Illustration – Etsy.

I just completed this new snowman, and he’s currently available in the shop (Click on the picture to go to the listing and see the full image). I hope to add a few more holiday themed cartoons in the coming days.

Illustration in Dark Valentine Magazine

Technical Difficulties

About a month ago I switched my email address to a new one, and while I thought I changed it on my paypal account, apparently something went awry, because notification emails for my clipart payments received went to my old address which is no more.

I’ve contacted customers who I think were affected by this, and I’ve added my new email address on my contact page. If you’ve sent me an email recently and I haven’t replied this is probably why. Please resend it to me, and sorry for the confusion.

Art News

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I’m busy with lots of different projects, and am still currently closed for personal commissions.

It’s spring finally, but over the winter, my Zombie Priests illustration appeared in the Winter 2010 Issue of Dark Valentine Magazine.

The illustration is for the story A Greater Horror by Frank Duffy, which starts on page 20. You can download the Winter Issue of Dark Valentine here.

I encourage everyone to download the winter issue of Dark Valentine and check out all the awesome art and read all the stories inside. Here’s a small version of my zombie priests:
