Edgar and Vincent

Artistic Face Masks
Select curation of my Art Designs on masks
I had a tough time initially with this pandemic as far as masks and their appearance. Should they really be a fashion piece? Was I comfortable with a medical mask that is meant to protect us, and others, from a potentially deadly virus becoming an accessory item?
No, I wasn’t.
I wanted it to be a statement, that this is serious business (and it is) and we shouldn’t get comfortable with Covid-19; and EVERYONE should take it seriously and remember to be very careful when we are out in public, or visiting loved ones. Medical masks it was!
Well… here we are right? 5-6 months into this thing and it looks like it is here to stay for the unforeseen future. Dammit :( It really was my wife who insisted, that if she was going to have to wear a mask for a long time, she wanted it to look good. She wanted the mask to fit into her work attire and daily fashion decisions; or at least be somewhat fashionable. Traditional medical style masks, or even the black fabric masks weren’t going to cut it for her. Even though black is a “thing” for her, being a transplanted New Yorker, living in Sarasota, Florida.
So, I heard her and thought she had a good point. I decided to give it a go and select some ArtDesigns from my Art Shop to display on face masks. I hope you like the selection; and if you see another piece of artwork in my shop you would like to have on a mask, hit me up and I’ll create a special one just for you!

Burrow in Pennsylvania Countryside
I painted this watercolor while sitting in my studio one day, “back in the day” living in Philadelphia, Pa. I loved the bike rides I would take out into the countryside and surrounding burbs of Philly, the lush green landscape provided a cocoon-like escape out of my busy city existence during this time in my life.
This painting is now available on canvas, as a print in my Artshop .

Rite of Passage
This watercolor represents the entryway into my sub-conscious mind, as I begin to create my artwork.
I was once told by a very wise older artist, that every painting you create is a self-portrait. That moment struck a profound feeling in my young mind at the time and has stuck with me ever since. I discovered the connection to my soul as a painter in those early days and have never looked back.
Available in my Art Shop in your choice of frame.

“Ying Yang Blast”
Another fun piece I created with oil pastels called Ying Yang Blast!
This represents the opposite feelings of sadness versus the feeling of happiness and ecstasy one can achieve through music. Especially the creative process of making music and/or listening to music.

Storm Brewing at Dusk, Framed Art Print
This original piece “Storm Brewing at Dusk” is an ArtDesign I created, based off of my acrylic painting called “Dusk”. It is available for purchase in your choice of frame, in my Society6 Art Shop.
As an artist, I create visual art that is abstract expressionist in form; and is inspired by my love of color and nature. My internal response to the world, and the landscapes that surround me, create the mood and atmosphere in my paintings.
I am fascinated by the supernatural, and feel I am forever reaching a hand out to capture the mystery of this world. The supernatural emerges in my work in ethereal depictions of “spiritual” landscapes and abstract images.
I find this kind of internal voyage compelling and it drives me to further explore and create these images.
I hope you enjoy the experience of what I create and would love to hear from you!

#Dailyui 100 Day Challenge/Day 022
I am still plugging away at these designs. I am determined to improve my UI knowledge and skills. The above design challenge is my day 22. The challenge was to design something “search” related. Other than that it is pretty open-ended.
Figma has been a great tool to learn these design skills with. I love that it is free and open source. Falls in line with my philosophy of ethics and community.
I have begun courses on Coursera in UI design. So far, I am learning good stuff. I now understand how to work on “a project” well, I am in the middle of creating my first project. But, that’s leaps ahead of a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea what a project entailed in the UI world.
So there you go, you know what you know! Right?

#Dailyui 100 Day Design Challenge
I am excited to participate in the #dailyui design challenge. This design is my Day 2 of the challenge. The task was to create a credit card checkout form. I’ve chosen to create a checkout form for an Olympus camera, from an online photography re-sell site. I am also learning Figma, a great intuitive, somewhat new, collaborative and Web-based platform, which I’ve used to design this checkout form.
Recently I’ve decided to pursue and transition into learning UI/UX Design (User interface/User experience Design) from a traditional fine art background. I find the field a perfect blending of my Fine Arts, Art Therapy/Psychology and Social Justice/Democracy backgrounds and passions.
I’ve chosen to self-educate with online courses, tutorials and networking/meetups in the industry. So far, after 1 month in, I feel super excited with everything I am learning, and I’ve already attended my first Design Meetup. UI/UX Design feels like the perfect next step in my career!
Please hit me with your critiques/feedback on my design as it really helps with progress!
