Portfolio Website

I now have a new portfolio website!

http://kimberlylcarey.mosaicglobe.com/

I've chosen a site called Mosaic Globe. I searched for websites that would give me web space, and the majority of them were not free. (Free is really all I can afford right now.) The ones that you didn't have to pay for immediately could be used for free on a very short, trial basis. Mosaic Globe has three levels of membership: basic (free), standard (mid-range pricing), and plus (higher priced). The free membership gives you a reasonable amount of web space for the price. It's certainly enough space for me at the moment. With the plus membership, you gain the option of adding a "Buy Now" Paypal button to your page, which could be desirable to many people.

I don't know if Mosaic Globe is the right site for me for good, but it's a satisfactory place to start, and if I don't like it, I've lost nothing but a little bit of my time.



I have also created an account on Project Wonderful to bring in a little bit of traffic to this blog, since this is what will get updated the most. It's a wonderful site where advertisers bid on ad space. You can search by type of websites with space available, by price, by banner size, etc. I think it will be a good investment.

Look at the sites my ad is on!

Daily Skies (Part VII)

How was Art Walk?

This weekend, I participated in the May Art Walk at Essex Studios. It was definitely an experience. I shared a space with another DAAP student that I am good friends with. Our space was near the main entrance, although not very on-the-way to the rest of the displays.

We did not get much business, but I did sell a piece! It was the following image, one of my prints from my intro to intaglio studio. It was the last one I had done in this color ink; the rest are black ink. I also passed out a few of my preliminary business cards.

Near the end of the evening on Saturday, I went exploring. There were many talented artists showing there. The building is older and is pretty cool. Like my past visit to the Pendleton studios, it got my yearning to rent a studio space of my own. Most of the studios I saw at Essex were fairly large, too. Perhaps one could be shared between two artists comfortably.

Daily Skies (Part VI): Storm Edition

Recently there was a nice huge storm. I was stuck at work at the time, and we wondered if our electricity would go out. But when the rain finally petered out, we looked out our back door and saw an amazing rainbow. In fact was a double rainbow, both bows of which were full intact Unfortunately, due to the limitations of my phone camera, I could not get the whole thing in one shot, and I did not have time to get enough pictures to Photomerge together to make one myself.

The morning after, the clouds were still beautiful.

Art Walk!

I will be participating in the May Art Walk: Bloom at the Essex Studios. The exhibition will be Friday May 4 and Saturday May 5. Check out the Esssex Studios website for more details. I haven't finalized what  pieces I will be showing, but I think it'll be some of my intaglio prints from this post and any of my oil paintings, if they are ready. I might bring some other prints to sell, but that remains to be seen. It should be a good time! If you'll be in the area then, why not stop on by?
