I need help. I mean, obviously. But we’re not going to go there. I realized that I really would like some better names for the last few paintings I posted. So it’s time to play “Name That Painting.” I’m going to post them below and I’m asking for your help in naming them. Keep it PG, because I’ll be uploading them onto sites like FineAmerica and RedBubble and I don’t want to get flagged. But other than that, go wild. Bonus points if the name includes a pun. Just be sure to let me know which painting (they’ll be numbered below) you’re proposing a name for when you comment here or on Facebook.

1.

Abstract I

 

2.Abstract II

3.

Abstract Cityscape I

 

4.Abstract Cityscape in Blue

Y’all. There are women who make matching outfits for themselves and their kids. There are kids who make matching outfits for themselves and their dolls. And then there’s me. I want to dress like my paintings all the time. Allsies. For my birthday, I splurged and got one of my paintings printed onto a dress. I’d been coveting this thing for months. I’m a serious coveter. If there was a gold medal in coveting clothes that look like your paintings, I’d win that shit. Here is me, in my painting.

Where’d Emily go? Can’t find her. Oh wait, there she is, blending in with her painting!!

I even wore my art to an art opening that celebrated last year’s grant winners from the United Arts Council. Because I’m cool like that. And then I stood next to one of my paintings holding my book that I won the grant for. And every time someone complimented me on my dress, I opened up my book to this painting and awkwardly showed them how “awesome” I am. Because, again, I’m cool like that. And also because I’m totally terrified in situations like that and forget that I know how to speak English (not the best thing when you supposedly wrote a book in English).

Who’s obsessed with elephants? I swear, it’s not me.

Luckily (or unfortunately, depending on your perspective), there are sites for such obsessions as putting your artwork on all sorts of merchandis-y crap (I’ve already shared several examples of my art on swag with you here and here). And probably support groups. And I discovered a new site. And now I want all the thingsies. There’s just one sliiiiiight glitch. I don’t have all the monies. But if I did, holy shit. I’d dress only in my own artwork. Fuck LuLaRoe. This is LuLaEm.

I’m totally addicted to VIDA design now. A few examples of the schtuffs that I want:

Release Sleeveless Top

Evening Poppies Sheer Wrap

VIDA 3.png

Swirlie Tree Tank Top

VIDA 4.png

Drippings Pendant

VIDA 5.png

Remember Me Tote

VIDA 6.png

Drippings Wrap

VIDA 8.png

Elementally, He Is Love Scarf

And yes, I’m just getting started. Now that I’ve discovered this site, I can’t stop. I can’t actually buy any of the things I’m making, but a girl can dream. Someday, when I’m rich and hopefully not too famous (a girl does like to be able to run to the grocery store without getting all dolled up for the paparazzi), I will match every painting I’ve ever made. Yaaaaaaaaasssssss, bitchez. You can check in and see what’s included in my collection so far on VIDA here.

Now, quick! Buy all my thingsies and make me jealous (and rich so I can buy them myself)!

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, which means you’re now scrambling to figure out a gift to give to your mom or the mother of your children. Much like you or your father, she doesn’t really want a neck tie. What she really wants  is art. Glorious, wonderful art. Or art on awesome shit, courtesy of yours truly. Need some ideas? Ask, and ye shall receive.

On FineArtAmerica.com, Pixels.com, Redbubble.com, and CafePress.com, you can find most of my art available on a boat load of swag – not that you need a boat load. You don’t even have a boat. Or maybe you do, in which case, can I go on a boat ride? Here’s a small sampling:

Mother's Day gifts 12
Mother's Day gifts 11
Mother's Day gifts 10
Mother's Day gifts 7
Mother's Day gifts 6
Mother's Day gifts 5
Mother's Day gifts 4
Mother's Day gifts 3
Mother's Day gifts 2
Mother's Day gifts 1
Mother's Day gifts 13
Mother's Day gifts 14
Mother's Day gifts 15
Mother's Day gifts 16
Mother's Day gifts 17
Mother's Day gifts 18

Is original art more her thing? Well I just so happen to, you know, make art. I also just so happen to, on occasion, sell art. You can purchase said original art through my website. And if you purchase from my store between now and May 3rd, you can get 10% off your order! Just use coupon code ILOVEMOM when you check out. Here are a few paintings to choose from:

buddha
????????????????????????????????????
????????????????????????????????????

Abandon corrected_high res
Awakening 12" x 9" oil on canvas

Tilted Swan_compressed
????????????????????????????????????

And finally, give her a hug from me and tell her she’s kicking ass at this whole life-of-a-mom thing, ’cause that shit’s no joke, y’all.

New Math, Or How To Get Rich in The Arts

04 Tuesday Apr 2017

Amazon, bad math, bestseller, Emily Page Art, Emily Page author, Fractured Memories, how to make money as an artist, new math, redbubble

I don’t mean to brag or anything, but Fractured Memories is currently ranked 528,625th on Amazon.com. I know. I’m practically a bestseller. Beat that, book-that’s-ranked-528,636th. I’ve made about $15 on Amazon so far, so I’m considering retiring while I’m on top.

The question, though, is to what wonderful locale shall I retire? Honolulu was recently ranked “severely unaffordable,” so that sounds promising. When you factor in the 7 stickers with my art on them that I’ve sold for $0.12 a piece on RedBubble, we can add another $0.91 to the $15 I’ve made on Amazon. So I’m pretty sure Honolulu is doable. Okay, so I might not be the best at The Math, but I’m probably ranked around 528,625th among artists who are also mathematicians. I’m practically the new Federal Reserve Chair.

The moral of this post? Go into the arts, kids. You’ll be rolling in money.

***********************************************************************************

Thanks so much for reading my ridiculous thoughts! If you’d like to see my ridiculous thoughts translated into art, visit my website, or follow me on Facebook and Twitter. Know a caregiver, or someone with dementia, or someone who knows someone with dementia, or someone who knows someone who knows someone else who’s a caregiver? Or heck, do you know a person? Well, you should tell them about my book, Fractured Memories: Because Demented People Need Love, Too. Part memoir and part coffee table art book, I recount my family’s heartbreaking and hilarious journey through my father’s dementia. Available to purchase here (this is my favorite way if you live in the U.S.), here or here if you’d rather get the eBook than a print copy, and here (especially if you want a hard cover copy).
