My Turn At The Wheel

Today i want to introduce everyone here to my new project and maybe you’ll learn a little bit about me along the way.

This project started as an idea to try to keep creativity flowing and gather the like minded to help do so. An opportunity to spread that creative spirit through out busy lives make new connections, online and off. A way to use the power of many to gain a better foothold over all the tasks it takes to be a self employed artist. I mulled this over for a year or more before spilling it all to my online friend, Lori Leissner of Leissnerart. After several chats we approached another online art gal friend, Ursula Smith of Easy Scraps. That brought us to today and a like minded group of 20+ self employed women artists from three continents.

 

I invite you to visit our fledgling blog at the Cre8ive Klatch.

I’m so excited about this collaboration i could scream…loudly!!

 

Continuing over the next weeks we will be introducing the crew members of the Klatch. Each was asked a set of fun, insightful questions so you can get to know them better. Mixed with that will be great artsy projects, a re-affirming gratitude component, and some creative surprises. Our goal is to connect to you through creativity and give you a spot to come when you need a pause from your busy life.

 

Join us and connect with the Cre8ive Klatch!

Always,

Susan

 

 

 

 

Photo Booth

Have you ever tried out Photo Booth? It comes with your Ipad or Mac computer….It can provide hours of laughs!

Mom

Can I just tell you that my Mother would kill me if she knew I was putting this picture here…?!

Dad

…and not sure my Dad would be too happy either…

Son

My son, on the other hand, would like to be seen like this every day. Because he’s just that goofy.

If you have a chance give it a try…you’ll laugh yourself into tears!

Creative Overload with a Side of Geek

Say hello to Dr. Evil…and my slightly bemused son. 

Dr. Evil

The last Sunday of July we had the privilege of participating in one of the largest geek, nerd, science fiction, super hero conventions in the world. San Diego Comic Con. Wow…what an enthusiastic crowd!

Predator

Of course there were super celebrities and super heroes but the unsung “hero” of this show are all the super, super talented artists through out the show floor. The drawings and paintings were extraordinary. Comic characters drawn right in front of our eyes…amazing! Caricatures, pencil drawings, sharpie marker sketches…it was all there.

Markiplier

Then there were the “you tubers” and my daughters latest obsession…Markiplier.  She watches him all the time. These young guys are an entirely new form of “celebrity.”

Artist drawn Batman Cape

Ben Affleck’s new Batman cowl debuted alongside these two artwork cowls. Handpainted and drawn…pretty amazing!

Artist Cape

For next year i intend to do some homework and research some of these talented artists.   Really soak up some inspiration.

Did you attend this year?

Painting again…

A week or so ago I posted a picture of this in Facebook and here it is once again…finished!

Angel Wings
I didn’t set out to paint this nor did it really occur to me what I was painting until just before I posted.
That’s the thing about creative inspiration…you start in the morning, end in the evening with very little idea of how the time went by!

The things we do for fun…

Some evenings around here degrade into piles of crying laughter. In the midst of furiously working on this website I’ve, of course, needed to update all my content, pictures, and what nots. And then I found my sons red rubber nose…

The rest is history…
