custom clothes

I have been looking at new ways to sell my artwork and also get my name out there more. The most fun is probably combining art and fashion (YAY!) by making custom clothing. I have seen many artists selling their work on clothes on etsy or their own sites as a supplement to their art work which often doesn't rake in much money unless you get crazy famous. There are a ton of ways to make custom clothing like through threadless.com or society6.com which you submit work and they handle everything else as orders come in. There are also companies that allow you to make clothing for independent sale like customink.com or customplanet.co.uk/

Now the hardest part for me would be deciding which work would be most likely to sell and which art fairs, websites, etc. they would best sell...
I think one of my paintings like this would be my first shot, maybe. I would wear it, would you?

hypercolor!

I have been dying my hair with Manic Panic semi-permanent hair dyes for about a year now and I love having colored hair. This is no longer a punk kid, haute couture, or fashion blogger trend. Ombre, dip-dyed, and streaked rainbow colored hair is everywhere, from Heidi Klum to Christina Aguilera. For those that don't want to make the commitment to a color that will take over 2 weeks to wash out, there's a new hair powder that I got to try from Anastasia Beverly Hills called Hypercolor. It was really easy to apply (see directions below) and the colors looked great, even brighter than I expected. It comes in 5 colors: pink, purple, blue, turquoise, and green; each sold separately. The hot pink was my favorite and had the best color payoff in my opinion. Make sure  you use gloves and a towel like they suggest otherwise this stuff can get everywhere. I tried it after putting some Josie Maran Argan Hair Oil in my hair and it stuck perfectly. A decent amount of hair spray sealed it on. It washed out completely with one shampoo. I would definitely recommend trying this over the DIY chalk option. Hypercolor Hair and Brow Powder from Anastasia will be available at Ulta Dec. 26th. In my hair, I have the used the Hypercolor In the Pink and Megawatt Green. The purple is the Ultra Violet from Manic Panic I've had in for a month or so. Part II of this post with outfit coming soon.
