700 Facebook Likes Equals Etsy Special Event!

Thank you guys for bringing the number of likes for JUURI's art to over 700! To celebrate and thank you, I will be having a special Etsy event.

Every day from July 5th - July 8th 2011, I WILL LIST AN ITEM FOR $1 IN MY ETSY STORE. The daily item could be a limited edition signed print, it could be a sketch, it could be an original, it could be personal art advice! IT COULD BE ANYTHING! (But I promise they will all be good things.)

Each time I list on Etsy, I will also announce it on FB and Twitter. So, stay alert! You can invite your friends to participate, too. You don't have to be a fan to grab the special sale.

(Please be considerate to others, only one purchase per person.)

Cheers! ♥ JUURI

Non-Objective Art: Michel Keck

I have a hard time finding non-objective art that I think is outstanding... probably because everybody and their dog think they can splatter some paint on a canvas and do "abstract art" (as it is so erroneously often called.) I must say that Michel Keck's works are some of my fave.







They, to me, are outstanding. Yes, her website seems over-commercialized (and very hard to navigate.) Yes, she also wrongly calls her work "abstract" (as you can see, this error irks my soul.) Yes, people often give her bad reviews and mean comments like this article here. But... she makes like $25,000+ every MONTH from selling her art. That seems like a pretty successful career to me. If she can rake in the $ by doing what she loves... isn't that what all artists wish they could do?
