<p> I just posted a digital download of my illustration, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/580846122/chica-art-download-original-illustration?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">"Chica" to Etsy</a>. So crazy because I actually posted <a href="http://mariamurray.blogspot.ie/2011/02/screenprinting.html" target="_blank">here</a> about it this month 7 years ago when I made the illustration and screenprinted it at a workshop. I don't know why that makes me feel strange! I guess life has just changed so much, that feels like another lifetime and another person in a way.</p>
<p>Pricing these is always hard! People sell downloads of art so cheaply online, I did put this slightly cheaper than the others... I don't think I can bring myself to go cheaper than that!</p>Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277056451945839442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187161565683691417.post-30412281084481541052018-02-13T11:44:00.000+00:002018-02-13T11:44:23.422+00:00Wanting to get better at blogging! + New Fine Art prints available on Etsy<p>I'm going to try to post more on this!

Is it all just a giant waste of time?! Who knows! Anyway, i'm going to get back to blogging more either way...</p>
<p>I've recently made prints (in multiple sizes) available of two of my paintings from the recent <a href="https://www.overthelinestudios.com/" target="_blank">Over The Line</a> studio <a href="http://mariamurray.blogspot.ie/2017/12/over-line-studio-show-2017.html" target="_blank">show</a>.

I've been enjoying getting into the world of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ie/shop/MariaMurrayArtDesign" target="_blank">Etsy</a> and it definitely gives me a sense of accomplishment to see how much work I have, I pretty much always feel like I need to be doing more, so it's satisfying to see that I actually have a lot to show for myself!<br />
<br />
I noticed that you can sell work as a download also on the site, and I went back to the many digital illustrations i've done over the years and threw up a few different examples - shown here. All work available for download can be found <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ie/shop/MariaMurrayArtDesign?section_id=21376898" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
Yay art!</div>

I think this is finished! This was an interesting and very long process. it started out as an abstract painting:

The painting was based on Eoin's poem, Rainsong, I worked on it in it's abstract form for a long time before deciding it was finished, but then going over and back about whether or not it really was! I've been doing mainly portraiture the last while, and after seeing an image on Instagram which set off another image in my own mind, I started experimenting with it in Photoshop, layering over many different photographs before I found one that I felt really worked. I created a photoshop painting of this photo, to bring the painterly feel into it, and then got it printed onto canvas. I wasn't happy at all with the canvas print however! The colours were completely washed out, so I worked back into it with oils and gave it the vibrancy I first wanted. I'm happy with it now, and it's strange developing a new process, it gives me a lot to think about!

<p>What I think is my final portrait of Eoin, based on a photograph I took of him over 20 years ago, when he was 4 and I was 14. This one took months!! But I definitely learned a lot.</p>Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277056451945839442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187161565683691417.post-3279001716510447322016-06-08T12:42:00.003+01:002016-06-08T12:44:08.449+01:00InSitu 2016<p>In January of this year I joined <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OverTheLineStudios/" target="_blank">Over The Line Studios</a>. It's my first time having a studio and I LOVE IT!! It's so motivating being part of a creative community. The studio is over <a href="http://www.glenline.com/" target="_blank">Glenline Fitted Furniture</a> on the North Ring Road and we recently had our first show, InSitu, in that location. Again I was delighted to be involved and found the whole process very engaging. Here are some pictures of my work...</p>

<p>I recently finalised the new poster for the <a href="http://www.theunderscoreorkestra.com/" target="_blank">TUO</a> tour for this summer. I'm including three of my beautiful bellydance friends, Briona, <a href="http://kateobellydance.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Kateo</a> and Jane from <a href="http://suadelabellydance.com/" target="_blank">Suadela</a>, as well as the musicians (of course!) Jorge Kachmari, Linda Joy, Thomas Hodson and Brian Leach. Tours with this band are always so much fun so i'm aiming to capture that in this poster. I'm also looking at old vaudeville style posters for inspiration, as their sound reminds me of this.

<p>I'm getting together visuals for my time based media class. We're looking at experimental animation this week. These 3 in particular caught my eye. The first from <a href="http://www.oskarfischinger.org/" target="_blank">Oskar Fischinger</a>, made in 1938!! The oldest example I could find. It's really beautiful and so interesting as well to see how it was made. The second from the <a href="http://eyeworksfestival.com/" target="_blank">Eyeworks Festival</a> <a href="https://vimeo.com/eyeworksfestival" target="_blank">vimeo channel</a> - a lovely mix of different styles, textures etc. The final one is was created for a <a href="http://www.jonhopkins.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jon Hopkins performance</a>. He's amazing!! I had the pleasure of seeing one of his shows in London about a year ago now, so inspiring. </p>
<p>All of this is really making me want to spend more time creating! All my time is spent planning lessons etc these days.</p>Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277056451945839442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187161565683691417.post-45631024171646870522015-02-15T10:53:00.000+00:002015-02-15T10:53:31.125+00:00Beautiful mangled video!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9yMP9KaPf40hRkoxiQC25MGV6X0LlRIxkGOwwRRRupHtT7iBIjkzd_wfx-KKlhIKupvz77lZk9QZ7J4jXzgZxAtfMZNVv-ZDsrAP6huXGYp7PLPHg7wuCrLfDFBt5Xt5PqGtux-F-BiDX/s1600/Screen+Shot+2015-02-14+at+21.46.28.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9yMP9KaPf40hRkoxiQC25MGV6X0LlRIxkGOwwRRRupHtT7iBIjkzd_wfx-KKlhIKupvz77lZk9QZ7J4jXzgZxAtfMZNVv-ZDsrAP6huXGYp7PLPHg7wuCrLfDFBt5Xt5PqGtux-F-BiDX/s320/Screen+Shot+2015-02-14+at+21.46.28.png" /></a></div>

<p>A very small selection of photographs from one of the most amazing trip i've ever taken. I think i'll turn these into prints and paintings. Really should have taken more photos though! I was shooting video for The Underscore Orkestra and Suadela Bellydance so when I didn't have a camera in my hands for that I ended up not taking extra snaps.</p>Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277056451945839442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187161565683691417.post-7488956244112123982014-09-30T09:43:00.000+01:002014-09-30T09:43:29.085+01:00Mark Clare - I Believe In You<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.markclare.com/USERIMAGES/DemocraCity%20Installation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.markclare.com/USERIMAGES/DemocraCity%20Installation.jpg" /></a></div>

<p><a href="http://www.markclare.com/" target="_blank">Mark Clare</a> has a beautiful exhibition in <a href="http://www.crawfordartgallery.ie/" target="_blank">Crawford art gallery</a> at the moment. My favourite piece is DemocraCity. I first saw it at <a href="http://www.dublincontemporary.ie/" target="_blank">Dublin Contemporary</a> and it totally transfixed me then as it did last Saturday when I visited the Crawford exhibit. There's something very hypnotic about it, there's a deep sense of isolation, almost moving into bleakness. The landscape depicted seems both desolate and pure at the same time. The music accompanying it is just beautiful as well. It's one of the loveliest and most impactful pieces of video art i've ever seen.</p>
<p>The exhibition has quite an academic write-up of the concepts behind the video, I wasn't aware of any of this while watching it and was still totally captivated and absorbed by the piece without knowing any of the politics behind it.</P>
<p>Here's an excerpt from the exhibition publication:
<blockquote>In the animation we travel through a timeline of iconic Modernist buildings, symbolic of a utopian dream and on through a cityscape and the industrial structures necessary to deliver the fuel that powers our cities. Finally we move into a landscape based on artist renditions for the Onkalo waste depository site...</blockquote>You can read more about the work <a href="http://www.markclare.com/page6.htm" target="_Blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>It's in the Crawford gallery until November 1st, go see it!</p>Mariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05277056451945839442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187161565683691417.post-81409815520681403992014-09-28T21:37:00.001+01:002014-09-30T09:52:30.150+01:00Brian Tattoo Final Final Ultimate Finished<p dir="ltr">Ha!

<p dir="ltr">Anyway, couldn't leave this alone & I think I like this one the best, all done in ballpoint pen. I forgot how nice they are to draw with. I felt the photoshop one was possibly too much of a mish mash of different styles... though I might go back & try & sort out the hair on it....</p>

<p>My brother <a href="http://instagram.com/br.murray" target="_blank">Brian</a> asked me to design a tattoo for him based on the Bob Dylan lyric "the geometry of innocent flesh on the bone causes Gallileo's maths book to get thrown at Delilah who is sitting worthlessly alone, but the tears on her cheeks are from laughter"</p>
<p>This is where I am with it, I have my usual versionitis where I keep at things and never know which is the finished one! I think i'm done now though, and i'll let the rest up to Brian and the <a href="http://rossdalytattoos.com/contact/" target="_blank">tattoo artist</a>, although looking at it again, maybe she's a bit too ghostly... and maybe the gradient line in her hair is too straight... argh!.</p>
<p>Here's some of the initial thumbnails exploring ideas, mostly done in airports over the summer....</p>

<p>I finalised the Suadela & Torcán poster, you can see <a href="http://mariamurray.blogspot.ie/2014/06/bellydancers.html" target="_blank">some of the prep here</a>, i'm quite happy with it and had fun making it!</p>
<p>And the theme tune for today....
