Hello, I'm SwinkArt!
Feel free to like my Facebook page for any upcoming / in progress art work at: https://www.facebook.com/SwinkArtDesigns
I love to paint with acrylics, but I'm slowly evolving my skill in digital media.
If that's too vague just read more about me and my life below:
Long time ago, in a galaxy far far away,
I started my arting obsession on DeviantArt.com
(which is still active and slightly updated at http://kujasultimate.deviantart.com/)
My interest consist of fantasy, horses, manga/anime, dragons, Wheel of Time (book) and videogames (Crono Cross, Final Fantasy, Orphan, Spyro, Legends of the Dragoons, and Xenosaga). A large amount of my inspiration came from videogames.
With all the support of my family, I took a bunch of art classes in high school, filled a bunch a sketch books with graphic and pen drawings, and received variety of acrylic paints and canvass every Christmas. I soon began to realize that Art was all I wanted to do and saw that opportunity in the advertising industry.
I attended Milwaukee Institute of Art and Designs, and fell head over heals with the relationship of art and advertising. I discovered the skills for creating logos, branding, marketing, and understood the true importance of promoting companies is the lifestyle of the consumer. I graduated in 2012 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) in Communication Designs and minor in Advertising. I had high hopes of working in an advertising industry creating graphics for all sizes of companies, and but of course the job market feels flooded. I did, however, get a job at a small company creating graphics for products, but I can only grow so far and it doesn't fill the void of the advertising passion in my heart.
As I continued these last years feeling like my dreams of success rotted and withered away, I began to put more work into my personal art, finalizing my logo, the branding, the feeling, and developing new skills and style. In Christmas 2012, my family purchases a Wacom tablet, so I could achieve a different form of painting (digital painting).
In the summer of 2014, I invested into art festivals and booth fees, booth set up / layouts and sold my work at two large local festivals. I've received positive feed back and noticed that my artwork appeals to the young adults and children.
So here, I sell original paintings and prints of my digital & acrylic paintings on a special pearlescent card stock paper (because it's soo pretty) for the conveinence of my fans
