Introduction to Grid: August 1st – August 6th, 2021

Hey, all! I hope you are doing well. This week I’m happy to announce that we’ve got the introduction to the grid. Y’all have seen the grid patterns before – a little bit with the animals, definitely with the landscapes… but not really the grid on people yet. Right?!

I was hesitant to try out the grid on people – but I’m so happy I tried it. I’ve loved working with it, and it’s such a fun way to break up the skin, in a way that isn’t utilizing skin tones. I mentioned this before, but I’ve really leaned into using super vibrant colors for skin tones instead of the standard white, tan, black, brown, etc. I think it makes the pieces more relatable. Maybe not.

Anyway – I say “introduction to the grid” but really it’s the last share for this week… but it’s a good teaser, I think. It’s one of my favorites from this week’s share, too – “Right in There.” That one and “Why Be a Wallflower When You Can Be a Venus Flytrap” are probably my favorites.

Do you have any faves? Let me know! Message me on Instagram or contact me through the site. Check out last week’s post if you haven’t already.
