At shows, one of the comments I get the most is: The internet does not do your drawings justice. I suppose that is true for many artists and crafters, as flat scans and photos never seem to pick up the colors, texture, and true-life look of our creations.
Even this photograph, taken digitally in October and uploaded straight from the camera, looks far more washed out online and seems to be missing hundreds of colors compared to the printed one in my hands.
Lest year, one of my priorities was better pictures and scans of my work. By understanding my camera settings and taking more pictures of the art hung on a wall or sitting framed, it gave viewers a better idea of the size and presentation of the pieces.
This year, I thought it might be a good idea to get my actual art in front of as many people as possible, so I don't have to rely solely on compatible browser settings and monitors to showcase my work. I'm going to do more shows in more cities for one thing; and I have recently sent over 100 prints to The Sampler. My hope is that more folks will get to see my art, and that they will see it in the manner that does it justice.
