PROPS TO MINDY FISHER!!!

I WANNA MAKE SURE TO GIVE PROPS TO MINDY! I LOVE HER STYLE!

I went through a phase (not so long ago), when I decided to only focus on small, original paintings. My idea was to keep them affordable, funky & fun. I thought if I could sell enough...I would get a video camera and film the (sped up) process of each one...and start a youtube channel to plug my wares. I found it really difficult to find a particular style that stood out...that didn't look like someone else's work. I've always had a problem defining my own style, and many have warned me that that's my downfall. I've been drawing/painting for so long...and have moved through so many styles....pin-up, frazetta fantasy, disney cute, big-eyed girly stuff, dark stuff, twisted circus type mulan stuff, whimsical light folk, folk pop, primitive, realism, blah...blah....blah. all of it. and combinations of all of it. i never confined myself to any one style. but...now that i'm older, there's a weird worry about "looking like someone else". Anyway...that's me. Holding myself back on certain levels to avoid offending other artist's I don't even know. Which is weird bcuz most of the stuff being done NOW...is in no way ORIGINAL.

Thing with Mindy is....she's got her own style! And probably totally easy & unintentional! The wench! ;) The colors are fun & beguiling. The images trapping, and the energy soothing. All a very wonderful & balanced mix! It would be nice to say that that just comes naturally to some folks, but I believe that more discipline is involved.....to stick with it, develop it...grow with it. I just think it's great!!!

On top of that...when I contacted Mindy and asked if she'd do an interview...and add picks of her work space...she laughed and said that she worked out of a chair in her tiny apartment. That it wasn't much of a studio, and that another thing I love about her creative soul. I insisted that she had to add a pic of herself at work in her chair...which she did! :) Some people think they don't have the talent. Some people think they don't have the time. Some people think they don't have the space, or the proper 'set up' to do their particular art or craft. Mindy is a testimony to the fact that those are all just excuses!!! I'm sure if she didn't have a chair...she'd be painting on the floor, or on her bed! To me Mindy is the type of chick that can work anywhere!

She's got a great style, and good vibes...and a nice product that's small & manageable..and easy to tote around. To me there's comfort in the idea that someone can pack their entire studio in a case or tote...and head off to the park, or wherever. I love that. The stuff that I get myself involved in isn't conducive to that at all! :/

I don't know...I can keep going on, but basically I just think Mindy Fisher is swell! And her work is stellar!!! And...from what I know about the "industry"...I'd say...........BUY SOME MINDY FISHER!!! It's gonna be big!!! If you're into the whole "investment" side of art. Personally I just think it would look good in any home, and definitely brings a smile to everyones face!
