So for you who don't know me here is a little background. Almost exactly 7 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. Whist I was having chemotherapy, the drugs messed with my mind and I started having recurring dreams that I owned a dog. I started drawing a dog every day in order to stop the dreams and prevent myself from getting a real live dog. Anyway, fast forward to 2018 and I have been in remission for over 6 years but I still can't seem to shake my obsession with dogs.
Of course drawing dogs is one thing, finding a suitable home for them is another. I started on Facebook until they messed around with the algorithm and I moved the dogs to my spiritual home TSU.
I can't even begin to describe how much I miss that social network. It was everything I wanted as a base for my art business and there isn't a day that goes by I don't wish it was still around.
However, onwards and upwards. After TSU, I all but stopped posting my dogs online. There just wasn't a big enough audience for them and so I started selling my art through an agent at craft fairs across Scotland. As an artist this proved wonderful for my art company. As a business person I am prone to selling myself and my art short. I rarely made a profit because I under priced my work, selling it at the sort of prices one would expect to pay for a print when I have always only sold the actual one of a kind original art work.
As rewarding as it is to see my art work selling, I do miss the interactions of showing my work online and seeing all your comments. I especially miss the caption competitions I used to hold where the winner would win an original piece of dog art. Maybe if Steemit proves to be a platform worth exploring I might be prevailed upon to start running a few more competitions.
Therefore I suppose what I am trying to say is, I'm back! I missed you all, especially my #tsufamily and I hope that Steemit will prove to be a better home for all my poor homeless dogs.
Whilst most of my sales are dealt with by my agent, if you see a particular dog you like then don't hesitate to contact me. All artwork (unless otherwise specified) is sold at a flat rate of £100 (British Pounds). The art is signed and mounted in a coloured matt and placed in a cellophane wrapper for protection. All artwork includes free worldwide shipping.
Sadly I am no longer taking on commissions. However I will occasionally agree to redraw a dog in a different colour.
SEE YA IN THE DOG HOUSE!!! Love, ADAD x
Unfortunately I managed to delete most of the pictures from this post. I really am bad at coping with new stuff on my computer. Don't worry, lots of new dogs to be seen tomorrow xxx
