I've been busy again. There's a new round of exchanges going on over at RedditGifts and Upvotes mean more people see my stuff. So get clicking SLAVES... I mean, loyal fans. Clickity, click, click, click those orange up arrows. Just a heads up, there is a %15 off sale going on RIGHT NOW. If you can't buy anything (which I totes understand), would you mind taking a second to share or upvote? Believe it or not, it really helps me out. Please and Thank You! Help me get the word out there so the peeps can see my work! Just open THIS LINK and click a few things, upvote a few things. You don't have to upvote everything :) THANK YOU FOR READING!This is the first time I've ever done anything like this on my blog, but I thought it might be an interested thing to add... Every now and again I come across a shop or a product that I just love so much I have to tell people about it! Normally, that constitutes a Facebook post, but I thought I'd be a little more intimate with this one. I originally found this artist on Reddit. Someone had posted a picture of her Zombie mug and I just loved the style. In the comments on Reddit, there were many words of encouragement to open an Etsy shop and sell her work. Eventually, she did just that! Her shop is a little bare (ok, a lot bare) but she is an art student and I know how stressful that can be, so "bare" with her. Excuse my pun... #sorrynotsorry "I think the greatest achievement a person can make is creating something out of nothing." Her name is Stephanie Nester, Steph for short and her shops on Etsy are called Mean Mugger and ECLECTICHAVEN. I just love her work. It's hard to really comment on the body of work, because it's so small at this point, but the individual pieces are quite nice. Her mug is very colorful and whimsical. It exudes a fun feeling. Her photography also has a colorful and whimsical nature, but there is definitely a more serious side that has drawn my attention. I especially love the use of color in the first photo. The sign "TRASH" juxtaposed with the bright colors, not usually something one would associate with a faded old fence, is an interesting contrast on what I would consider opposing notions. It is really quite nice My favorite thing of hers, however, is the whimsy of this mug. Isn't if fabulous? If you get a chance to take a closer look at her work, I think you'll really like it. I'm not sure if she plans to keep her Etsy shop going... it is extremely hard to devote any meaningful amount of time to other endeavors when you're an art student #beentheredonethat But, if you enjoyed it, leave a comment or send her a convo on Etsy and let her know how fabulous her work is. I'll be sure to pass on the message!
