Weekly Artist Art Vlog no.19 | Art is Like Cake | Artist Studio Practice | Artwork | #youtube

Hi and welcome to my website Blog .

If you have not been here on my  site before, hello, it’s awesome to meet you.

My name is Beatrice Ajayi. I am an artist, creative, illustrator and published author. I love to use a range of mediums in my artwork. 

You will find me working on a range of pieces both digitally and traditionally.

In this video today I am – sharing my latest thoughts and perceptions on myself and my art, an introspective if you will. I have decide my new working title is ‘Multidisciplinary Artist’. I have used this as a job desk in the past and my biography language. But I have realised more and more that it is a more true title of my approach as an artist. 

I am currently in the process of decluttering my studio ( a constant issue) I am trying to reimagine art and products I created years ago and asking if they have a place in my life. 

This has led to my discussion in the video I have for you today. i am conscious of the pressure to give my best, I therefore am trying to make sure i am feeding my creative tank with new inspiration and have decided on a path to follow. The path of eating as much came as possible ( or to paraphrase, to create as much art as I am inspired to, through the process of storytelling)

As a creative and maker being able to generate work that you love and can elate others needs some investment and i want to be able to bring that into my process. I use a lot of processes. I try out something and if it doesn’t work I reimagine it and give it new life. Thank you for reading this far if you have. Please do subscribe, so that more people can see these videos and we can all feed our creativity together through our interactions.

Writing has been a part of me for as long as my art has. I will say I dedicated more time to art, but am trying to increase that the opportunity for writing.

I am excited about having finished the first book. Have begun on the second. It is a challenge to put the pieces floating around in my head on paper. I am hoping I learned easier ways to digest my thoughts but we will see. I am also excited about my new characters.

Fun times. I will speak soon.

I have been doing my usual research looking and reading and video watching on the tube for teaching on reaching more people who would really appreciate my work. Every artist has to think of this so I don’t feel awkward talking about it. It’s all part of running the buisness.

Outside of all the above I have been sketching and painting on my iPad and pen on paper. This cat digital painting is entitled ‘Cat Balancing’. You can view the process here: Cat Balance Video

Keep warm and dry in this winter weather. Spy soon

I wanted to thank everyone who has been buying my art for little ones and my online classes for themselves or friends. I am very grateful for you appreciation and support. My heart is always open to you, we are together in this journey.

I also want to mention a wee ebook I created last year (2014) Always awesome to have on the road for that princess that can’t settle down. **Link here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alice-Chair-Childrens-short-story-ebook/dp/B00J5J9SBO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420827972&sr=8-1&keywords=Alice+and+the+chair+Beatrice+ajayi

Spk soon.

The word stirring around in my head so far for the year is storytelling. Therefore I will be narrating, a lot. I will be elaborating on my pieces of art. New and some old. Disscusing my thoughts at the time of their creation and other themes I noticed. Months later upon looking back.

I am grateful for the year just passed, 2014. Many didn’t have a great year. A lot of heartbreaking stuff kicked of around the world. Trying to hold on to the aspect of love joy and hope is not easy for lots of people. But I hope to tell stories and reflections that add a little positive distraction to the viewer of my little cuties and their unique adventures. Spk soon.

I have always loved writing and Amazon Kindle publishing has made it possible. Let me know what you think. It’s priced affordable, I want everyone to have access to my storytelling
