I’ve been a part of a local gallery for several months now, and it’s been a great experience. Having been an illustrator for so many years, it’s been interesting to explore the prints and fine art side of things.
Luckily, the On Display Gallery in Fort Collins, Colorado (just up the road from home) specializes in alternative art. I definitely fit in there, and I’ve had a number of good comments from people in the gallery (and a handful of sales). It’s been a great learning experience, and I’m happy to be in a good place with good people.
As I mentioned before, it’s not necessarily easy for me, as an illustrator, to pick art that someone wants to post in their home. A cover work has a unique feel and point to it, as does interior art, and art for your wall is no different. There’s a certain feel to a piece that has to work correctly for someone to put it on their wall.
We’ll see how my continued gallery art goes, but so far so good. Below are the pieces I currently have in the gallery, and there are also postcards and bookmarks of mine there. There is one that I have in the gallery that does not appear below.
If you are in the Fort Collins/Northern Colorado area, or will be through on a trip, go check them out and let me know what you think.
