Three Hood Monks

I made this set of three (being individually sold in my Etsy Shop) hooded monks awhile back.  In my blog, IrelandBrady - Musings To Ponder, I even have a post detailing how I make an original ACEO featuring Hooded Monk #2.  You are invited to pop on over and see what you think about my short tutorial.

Hooded Monk #1

Hooded Monk #2

Hooded Monk #3

I just thoroughly enjoy making these little miniature works of art!

Addicted to ACEOs

My fist post in ACETSY blog yaay!
I currently have the minimum 5 listed in my Etsy shop, come and see HERE

Also I have some past work to share, I will list them soon:

The great advantage of Etsy is the long time they are listed online, and after keeping some of mine for months and some of the years, I can tell you, the benefit of using quality paper and paint is that they look like I painted them yesterday.

I made a series of ACEO with water-mix oils on canvas, and I never listed them because I couldn't decide if I wanted to trim them to card size, or leave them with the edge I tape them to paint them, in case the buyer wanted to frame them. I guess I can put that in the listing, so they can decide what they want. I personally like them both ways.

What do you think?

ACEO Orignals - Series of six Buffalo Skulls

Please feel free to visit my blog, IrelandBrady - Musings To Ponder, or my Etsy Shop, IrelandBrady.Etsy.com, to see other ACEO's (open editions, limited editions, and originals) that I have listed for sale.

Thank you for looking!

Waiting for a Biscuit

"Waiting for a Biscuit"
Graphite on Bristol Smooth Paper

International Drawing Day was Last weekend. I missed it last year because I was lazy. So, this year, I sent the invite to all of my Facebook friends and committed to do at least one drawing!

Their goal is cool and simple. 1 million drawings in one day! Neat, huh? Anyway, at the late hour of 11:38, I got around to finishing this little aceo of an Irish Setter.

Hope you like him!
Get in on the fun next year! Drawingday.org

Have a great day!

Don't be Ridiculous!

"Fat & Happy"
Colored pencil on Bristol Smooth

I have often felt that I would never be taken seriously if I created only cartoon-ish-y art. In fact, that has been true, as I have been rejected at times as a serious artist. I have even canceled listings because when I looked back, I felt it just wasn't good enough. But, there is plenty of "serious" art that doesn't make me feel good, so what good is it after all?

Eh, who cares anymore?!!! I think the goal here is to do what makes you happy, and what you seem to be good at performing. I'm still not sure what I am best at performing, but I'm turning a new leaf and I am no longer going to pout that I haven't really painted a still life since college, (and I'm not upset about it.)

Also, I've been afraid to say I would begin my painting a day challenge just because I know I'd be bound to miss some days. Screw that charade as well!

So, to start small, I will create an aceo a day! Maybe I'll work up to the oswoa size for the Daily Painter's site! I will post some and throw in some more Rhinos and history lessons! yay! I hope you will follow my blog for a little fun now and then!

It's a Purple Pony!

I need a little sign that says "Make Hay While the Sun Shines" because then it would remind me to do more productive things when our wacky weather is behaving nicely! For instance, I should have taken a photo of this ACEO outdoors on Saturday when I had the chance.

I drew it a few weeks ago at an artist trading card get together graciously hosted by Studio Todorovic at Art Central. Originally it was going to be one horse, but I didn't have an eraser, so I thought I would just go ahead and make it two horses in tandem. I used Copic markers for whole card. This line of markers is just wonderful to use, unlike Prismacolors. The nibs are replaceable and they have no odour.

The original card is for sale on Etsy - I do believe it's the first new thing I have listed in a long time!

I Just finished this custom ACEO for my friend Christy DeKoning of her cat, Joe. She wanted him to be a fat cat! I hope she isn't disappointed with my rendition, Al Capone style!

Christy also did a custom portrait for me at Christmas.
Here's the portrait of my nephew that she painted in case she hasn't posted it here for you all to see her amazing work!

#1 Impressionism; 31 days of Rhinos

March is going to be fun! Today, I invite you begin a journey with me into the history of art, as seen through the eyes of Smelly Rhino Studio.

Each day in March on my blog, I will post a new painting using a specific technique or style and giving a brief history of that style.

Not all the paintings will be ACEOs, so I will only post here the ones which are!

If you want to have some fun seeing Rhinos represent art in history, visit 31 days of Rhinos on my blog today!

Fondly,
