Today, I listed my second pack pf fairy tale greeting cards on my Goimagine Art Shop.

goimagine.com/art-nouveau-fair

This set is the next iteration in my style journey, and I think the cards in it are some of my best work.

The tales include (left to right, top to bottom in the photo): The Lion and the Mouse, The Frog Princess, The Three Little Pigs, The Ugly Duckling, Rapunzel, and The Tortoise and the Hare.

They’re all Human-Made. I paint, print, package, and post them all myself from my own studio. I don’t use any artificial generative nonsense.

You can watch a playlist of all the speedpaints and livestream recordings involved in the making of these pieces here: makertube.net/w/p/2BLLnFELz3bV

I have officially put my very first art print up for sale on my Goimagine Art shop.

I’m sticking with a 11x17” size and that’s it, because my work looks a lot better when it’s bigger. Turns out a lot more of the detailed texture and subtle coloring shifts are visible when things aren’t microscopic! Ha!

I decided my prints will all be limited editions of 30, signed & numbered on the back, and include a certificate of authenticity. Plus they'll be printed by me, personally, in my own studio, full-bleed at 400dpi on my fancy-schmancy 8-color printer. So I can quality check!

I had made some of my birds available on my Etsy shop a very long time ago through their Printful integration, but I could never really be sure they were bright enough and clear enough… I had no idea what my customer was getting. And so having prints drop-shipped through someone else has always worried me.

In the end, it’s simply another way of making my artwork available and special for the collector. I’m not really doing traditional art yet, so this is the next best thing for me to offer.

Ultimately, I’m just really happy with how they’re looking so far, and truly proud to finally offer them!

This piece is inspired by the fairytale, Jack and the Beanstalk.

Jack’s tale has had a lot of iterations, and it has shifted and changed over time to omit different elements depending on the era in which the tale is being told.

A lot of folks consider Jack to be a thug, a simple irresponsible child burglar, but one important fact that is often left out of the tale is the nature of the Giant that ultimately gets killed. Few know that the Grimm’s version clearly states that the Giant is not liked in his cloud kingdom and has stolen most of his treasures from others. And the fact that his bedroom is littered with bones of the victims he’s eaten doesn’t say much for him either.

So is Jack actually an irresponsible kid? Or might he be considered a type of Robin Hood, evening the odds and dishing out the Karma that the Giant deserves?

Hm.

All my work is Human-made using Procreate without any artificially generated nonsense.

I have an Art Nouveau version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears for sale as a greeting card on my Goimagine shop.

It’s also part of a set of similar cards here:

This image is one that really helped me start to shift away from “replicating” my inspirations toward feeling confident in my own skills. I took a leap to include illustrative elements that weren’t part of the work of my idols. It was an important step for me.

It was done entirely in Procreate, without any generative nonsense.

My take on Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is now available as a greeting card in my Goimagine Shop. It’s a lavishly textured Art Nouveau piece with the appearance of depth.

This was made entirely in Procreate, without any artificial generative processes.

I got this new piece finished on my livestream yesterday. It’s based on “The Frog Prince”. I’m really happy with how it turned out, and the plant chain brush created by Maddy Bellwoar for Procreate ( artbymaddy.com/ ) was perfect for my willow branches!

I absolutely love texture, and I love Art Nouveau, and I love storytelling, so these images I’m doing really make my heart sing!

And here are my artist links: coreyartusimageryinfo.carrd.co

I’ll be getting this available on my art shop as a greeting card soon!

I’m going live today on Moonbeam and Twitch to start a brand new piece based on The Three Little Pigs!

I’ll be using Procreate to do a richly textured and painterly Art Nouveau abstract stylization inspired by the tale. All me—no artificial image “assistance” nonsense.

If you enjoy lurking and not engaging, this is the stream for you! You are more than welcome!

I usually have a pot of tea, some gentle music in the background, and an ongoing narration of what I’m doing. I try to make it chill, inviting, and light. Throw me up in the corner and try working on your own art!

If you miss it, the stream recording will be uploaded to MakerTube later today.
