Updates!

So I have decided to re-purpose this blog to be about the comic book portion of my work. The fine art has moved to: http://www.estherneisen.com. I will write an entry soon about the big comic project I am hoping to complete this summer called “This book is about birds” and will upload some old complete comics for digital viewing, including the mini comics. Stay Tuned!

Post Echo Sleepfest

So Echo is over and I am completely exhausted. Who knew just standing and talking to people all day could wipe you out that hard? I had a lot of great conversations, met a few people I knew through their  work only previously, and had a general good time listening to/seeing people’s reactions to certain pieces.  It was a really neat event with a lot of fun and interesting work and I was glad to be a part of it.

Here is the link to the flickr set of the work/booth

and also the Buffalo news article

I don’t have too much going on currently because I am a giant ball of awkward but I will be putting Heated #2 in the Hallwalls member’s show this weekend. I was surprised at the response it got this weekend at Echo considering Heated 1 & 2 were the first pieces that really told a natural story rather than a human one.

I will also be donating the concept sketch for Home to the Burchfield Penney‘s upcoming gala.

July 25th I will also be taking part in another live drawing event at Hallwalls: the Mid-Summer Night’s Draw, which if it is anything like last time should really be a super good time and if you missed it last time I suggest you get your butts in there and enjoy yourself.

Echo

I have been pretty caught up in preparing for Echo Art Fair, so much so I almost forgot to update this blog entirely. I will be booth #39 and I am pretty excited for how some of this work turned out. I played with LEDS some, re-framed/remade several pieces from the Home show, and just really enjoyed trying a lot of new things.

This is my first time doing anything like this, especially since I have to sit there the whole time and usually when it comes to art my mouth is full of marbles, but I am really feeling steady and calm about it, which is nice despite a few equipment setbacks that had me on edge.

So, come visit me if you like. I would be pleased to see you!

p.s: I made some new business cards so shit might get fancy.
