"Like" me, "Like" me!

Ohhhhh yes! Yes I did. I am one silly gal who went as far as to creating a fan page on FB to promote my artwork! I feel this may help network my name and my art! So please, go check my page out, and "like" it :)

Two new abstract pieces!

I've finished two Abstract pieces. One I'm uber excited about, the other.... not so much. I can't get a good photo of them so they will def need to be scanned.... But check them out and let me know what you think!!

This lady right here, is gonna try to promote some artwork!

Call me an amateur, and I'm fine with that title. But, Lord have mercy, please don't call me a buckweater!! I know I am new to this whole artistic deal, and I'm okay with that. Everyone has to start somewhere, right? 


So I've recently been researching online for website to try and promote my latest artwork. Came across a few, set up some accounts with some...... but when you forget your username AND p.w. it must not have caught my eye in the first place. LOL! I finally found fineartamerica.com and after some research and help from a few good friends, I went ahead and posted some of my photography. This was two days ago. I check my photos today and 5 people from VA, WA, NY, NC, and Canada have viewed a few of my pieces. Call my crazy or just plain silly, but seeing that these random folks across our country had viewed MY work, made me all giddy and excited inside!! I upgraded to the premium feature, (only a $30 annual fee) in which if someone wants to purchase a piece of my artwork, the company itself will print the photo/drawing, mat and frame it if the customer buys the accessories, package it securely, and ships it to the buyer. I then will receive a check in the mail for my sale.  I have not yet made a sale because I have NO idea how to price my photographs. My drawings, on the other hand, I think I'll have a better judgement on how to price. But since we have a scanner that will only scan paper by the size of 8.5x11, I am limited on what I can put up for sale. Called FedEx Kinko's and they can scan most of my artwork and place them on a CD for me so I can upload them to fineartamerica.com and it's basically a duplicate of the original. I had tried taking pictures of my drawings with my brand spankin' new 16.1 mega pixel digital camera, but it's just not coming out like I'd want it. So FedEx Kinko's is gonna be my savoir for the moment to try and get this ball rolling. :) 


If you're someone who appreciates fine art (or amateur work) please go check out my photography on fineartamerica.com. Search for me by my name, Shayna Keach. My profile is public and so are my photos. Please, go take a look. And by Monday, I hope to have some of my drawings up and ready for anyone and everyone to see and/or purchase!!! ..........Feedback is always good too! ;)

AMATEUR .... wish me Luck!

Oooh la la, this artistic thing I seem to hold deep inside my soul has had plenty of time to escape my temple. And I now have these pieces of artwork to prove my therapy sessions. :)


Drawing was never really something I was "in to" ..... I was more into so-called "doodling" .... but I had recently been doodling album art from Deee-lite and I discovered I could look at something and somewhat try to draw it or make it my own. I have many drawings I've done in the past few months and I'm ever so proud of them. I recently drew a couple pieces for my mama and I then realized (with a little help from mama herself) that I could possibly sell my work. (Prints of course.... I don't think I could part with my originals) So I'm now on a mission to try to promote my amateur artwork and see if anyone would wanna place some of it in their homes. Wish me luck, folks. This would be an ideal dream for me to come true! ;)
