Introducing The Newest Painting: Something Other

Something Other is a bit of a masterpiece for me. The process itself, becoming more and more relevant to me as I was working through creating the painting, has taken me an entire level in terms of my personal appreciation of this piece. I've uploaded an image I took during critique to my Instagram, which you can find here: Something Other

If you wish to get a full artist's statement and my personal explanation of the painting, please send me an e-mail: nate.b@solemnist.com

Hi friends, after some new developments and progress on the blog, I've now expanded to other social media! Introducing my official brand-new Instagram account @solemnist

If you are having trouble finding it, or the links in this post are not working, I have placed a button on the top right of my blog with a link to it. If you don't use Instagram, not to worry, you can also find me on twitter @solemnist.

New Painting Inbound

Hi friends. Yes, I'm working on yet another new painting. what's that you ask? I already announced that in my post Starting A New Painting? I did announce a new painting in that post; however, I'm talking about a whole new painting. While I toil away hours and hours working on the first painting, the master study project, I will also be working on this new painting project. Watch for updates, for I might choose to make a bonus post or two while I'm in the process.

P.S. I know some people in college who will be facing finals week soon, or have already started finals. I'd just like to send a little good luck their way, and also to anyone else facing the dreaded tests, exams, and sleepless nights.

Torn Paper Fish Poster

Hi friends, and welcome to December! Today I've got a little surprise for you. After recently making the re-discovery of a historic USB storage I've been missing for quite a while now, I found an old photo I took many years ago which I'd like to share with you from my early years in design. Check it out

This was a small poster project I made using torn paper pieces on bristol paper roughly 18 inches by 24 inches. Odds are that if you enjoy fish like I do, and you also enjoy design like I do, you will most likely have a similar enjoyment for this poster just like I do. I hope so because who doesn't like paper fish?
