It worked fine—clean pages, direct checkout, the usual. But recently, I realized something: if you want more people to discover your art, you have to take it - [Embracing a Unified Brand Identity: The Journey to Consistency](https://jimfaris.com/embracing-a-unified-brand-identity-the-journey-to-consistency/) - As a graphic designer, I’ve always found joy in creating unique identities for each of my projects. From JimFaris.com to HipsterDaddy.com, KentuckyJim.com, JinxUOMe.com, and Racketshackmusic.com, each venture has had its own distinct look and feel. However, as I’ve developed these various business ideas and creative outlets, I’ve come to realize that they all share a - [A return to digital…?](https://jimfaris.com/a-return-to-digital/) - Back to Digital... But Not really. It’s been a while since I posted here on my good-old website, but I’ve been busy…Anyone that has been following my IG or FB knows I’ve been doing quick, rough pen-ink sketches with a little watercolor and I have to admit, Love it. But you see, I’ve got this high-powered - [Gouache](https://jimfaris.com/gouache/) - In my ever evolving art, I keep switching it up. Over the last month, it’s been a return to gauche. I loved/hated gouache when I was in art school and I’m still having the same struggle. I have grown to love watercolors again, but then sometimes I want the paint to be more opaque like - [Hey Kid, what's in the bag?](https://jimfaris.com/hey-kid-whats-in-the-bag/) - I get a lot of questions about my art tools and what’s in the bag. And I don’t mind it a bit.When I was first getting back into to Pen and Ink and Watercolors, I had a ton of questions. And only YouTube to help. I’d find someone I liked, watch the video, then dig - [A Little is Good, a LOT must be Better?](https://jimfaris.com/a-little-is-good-a-lot-must-be-better/) - ... at that moment I am outside of myself. Out of my mind and body. Finding a meaning that is beyond words and thoughts. For those moments there is a feeling that passes by so quickly one almost does realize they are in it. This must be like a runner's high, or an actual drug-users high. But in a flash, it's gone and I am left with color blocks, lines and marks. And if I'm lucky, when I look at the completed piece, I have a sense of what I felt while creating. So I guess the goal is to make something that allows the other people to feel it as well. - [It's been years?](https://jimfaris.com/its-been-years/) - I was asked about how to push media from a blog to social media and I thought, "hey my site is set up to do that!" So I logged in to do a simple post, the one you are reading right now and I realized it's been about 2 years since I have posted anything. - [First painted guitar in a long while...](https://jimfaris.com/first-painted-guitar-in-a-long-while/) - Again I start with stating that I dont think anyone is reading a blog these days, especially one about me and my art. But here goes anyway. I think it’s my own way of keeping myself accountable to…myself I guess. A few weeks ago, my guitarist and friend Scott asked me to paint one of - [Starting a Mural](https://jimfaris.com/starting-a-mural/) - Starting? What does that even mean? Technically, I started over a year ago and changed my mind about 20 times, then I just dropped the idea. But my latest doodles and designs have got me thinking about it more. I’m planning on taking on the inside of my back gate. It’s wood and has raised - [Finished the Mural... Kinda](https://jimfaris.com/finished-the-mural-kinda/) - So way back in June I posted that I was starting a mural on my back fence. I said it was going to be on the inside of the gate. I come the inside because If it sucked, no one would see it really. I also was trying to come up with something to paint - [A Sketchy Obsession](https://jimfaris.com/a-sketchy-obsession/) - Anyone following my Facebook or Instagram knows that I have developed a new obsession, sketching...with watercolors...in sketchbooks. I have always been a sketching guy, but I never kept my sketchbooks or organized them or even thought of these sketchbooks as anything other than a place to workout ideas before making actual art. And the idea - [My new workspace](https://jimfaris.com/my-new-workspace/) - No, sadly it's not a new studio or even a new room in my house. It's a desktop I got in the clearance section of IKEA for $10. I've been spending more time with my easel folded flat and using it as a table. But since many of my pieces are small, I needed just - [To what end?](https://jimfaris.com/to-what-end/) - I finished two paintings that go together, a diptych. But to what end? I loved the process and the final image, but what is it all for? Who is it for? Making art is a messed up mental thing and making abstract are is even more strange. And honestly, there are so many people that - [Cutting?](https://jimfaris.com/cutting/) - Tools and process. Some one asked me about some of the fine lines in my paintings. These are cut lines. I have a favorite palette knife that I use for scooping, scraping and cutting. Yes actual cutting. It happens more so when working on canvas board as its a pretty soft substrate, but when working on gessobord (yes, that's the correct spelling) or on wood panels, I still manage to get in there a bit. - [Deciding it's finished](https://jimfaris.com/deciding-its-finished/) - It can be hard to know when to stop. It's a little easier when painting an object, person or landscape. But when painting an intuitive abstract piece that relies heavily on process and feeling, it never seems done. My recent art work, Fractured Craftsman, had so many moments when it was "finished." And so many - [A total, radical change to abstract with Cold Wax and Oil](https://jimfaris.com/a-total-radical-change-to-abstract-with-cold-wax-and-oil/) - I feel my best when I'm mixing up oils and wax, cutting into it with pencils and knives, putting on layers and scraping it off.

As I sit here this evening, I did a little painting of her. - [2018 already?](https://jimfaris.com/2018-already/) - Sure, I'm still painting, I've had some great commissions (thanks) and I'm busy learning, trying, failing, succeeding. But the time really gets aways from me. I have a full time job, I'm a working musician, I've got way too many young kids and I like having a social life.

This leads me all over the place and prevents me from further developing a singular style. So, I've been spending my time repainting hands, eyes, gestures. I've been drawing with an actual pencil, the iPad and ink pens. I've been buying brushes and acrylic - [Sometimes it just don't work out](https://jimfaris.com/sometimes-just-dont-work/) - You will NOT be seeing my art work at Children's Hospital as I had originally posted.

Oh yes, I could fake it, I know my way around Photoshop and I could write some scripts to - [Artomatic Artist Spotlight](https://jimfaris.com/artomatic-artist-spotlight/) - 1) Who are you and how long have you been an artist? Hi, I’m Jim Faris. I’ve been a visual, graphic and musical artist since 1984. Probably longer than that, but let’s not count those school years. I’ve been writing and performing music as long as I can remember. And visual art, well I had - [It’s Meet the Artist Night II](https://jimfaris.com/meet-artist-night-ii/) - It’s Meet the Artist Night II Last time this was such a blast.

I've tried and I've succeeded too. So, what is the burden and why does it effect me and my art? The more I started thinking about it the more I realized this issue effects so many other areas of my life. But, this is a rant? complaint? posting about my - [Modernist?](https://jimfaris.com/modernist/) - It's funny to feel the changes that I go through and think, "what am I doing?" then to go back and read and watch documentaries of artist and realize... hmmm this is just how it goes some times.

I had no idea what - [Transformation](https://jimfaris.com/transformation/) - As I said in previous posts, I've been reviewing my art, what it is and why I do what I do.
