I decided to try making a quick drawing of the first thing that popped into my head and putting it right into the shop. I've been gardening so much this summer that I've got plants on the brain!

A whopping 25% off EVERYTHING. I'm getting ready to introduce two new products and in the meantime I'm clearing out what I have in stock.

I had been wanting to re-work this image for awhile. It's a design I came up with years ago. Normally I wouldn't go back to such an old drawing, but I had some ideas, like the dot screen and distressed lines, that I wanted to experiment with and this seemed like a good image to work on. I also want to add more large prints for baby nurseries in my shop, because lately that's what people seem the most interested in. So this will be a 16 x 20 print.

These two creatures are now up in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/mamarobot">shop</a>. For once I'm selling some art that is ready to hang.

As a mom to a 5 year old, I hear "Mama?" about three hundred times a day. In the morning, I respond, "Yes Sweetie?" By evening, it's more of a "Yeeeeeesssssss?" or even a "What?" I never dreamed when I named my business that I'd be hearing Mama sooo much. It's become the most important word in my life, really. So for Mother's Day, I made a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/185390624/mothers-day-blank-greeting-card?ref=shop_home_active_1">card</a> that I think says all that needs to be said (and has a blank interior for daughters, sons, and spouses to add in all of their own sentiments).

These stream-of-consciousness drawings are the only art I'm creating these days. These doodles are therapeutic and give me something fun to do while I wait outside Penny's ballet and tap classes. This style of drawing brings me back to how I felt about drawing as a kid...that feeling of discovering what I can make, for my own gratification. Each one is created with no forethought, and each lasts only a few minutes.Amanda aka MamaRobothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05471592321403617900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997509701869591375.post-30941407421861055582014-02-05T05:43:00.000-08:002014-02-05T05:49:45.453-08:00<iframe src="//instagram.com/p/kA2bRSmmDr/embed/" width="400" height="500" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

Hello! Just dropping in to share a fun super quick drawing I made, called "The Cloudmaker". Rough concept for a possible painting, thought up/sketched up on the subway ride home one day.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about what this means. It means removing the inner critic. It means removing expectations. Removing fear of failure, fear of not being good enough, fear of making a mistake, fear of wasting time. Claes Oldenburg is an artist who was able to truly embrace this idea, at least it seems that way to me. Below, some of my favorite pieces from his current NYC exhibit.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fHolP2NqCDk/UWmLsxbaCFI/AAAAAAAAA38/61WDPK_NXE8/s1600/IMG_6164.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fHolP2NqCDk/UWmLsxbaCFI/AAAAAAAAA38/61WDPK_NXE8/s320/IMG_6164.jpg" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0KvMPTdtTjc/UWmLu5Uq06I/AAAAAAAAA4E/ovrMh7u4TuU/s1600/IMG_6165.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0KvMPTdtTjc/UWmLu5Uq06I/AAAAAAAAA4E/ovrMh7u4TuU/s320/IMG_6165.jpg" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zP0ceNPbVF0/UWmLuwQrphI/AAAAAAAAA4I/dH3iH1XDv_w/s1600/IMG_6166.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zP0ceNPbVF0/UWmLuwQrphI/AAAAAAAAA4I/dH3iH1XDv_w/s320/IMG_6166.jpg" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xgSeb5jJptw/UWmLu2qt-tI/AAAAAAAAA4M/IdNXTVct4aU/s1600/IMG_6167.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xgSeb5jJptw/UWmLu2qt-tI/AAAAAAAAA4M/IdNXTVct4aU/s320/IMG_6167.jpg" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BN6Dq64wHNM/UWmLv3FWjkI/AAAAAAAAA4c/bsZCZnt3Xxs/s1600/IMG_6168.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BN6Dq64wHNM/UWmLv3FWjkI/AAAAAAAAA4c/bsZCZnt3Xxs/s320/IMG_6168.jpg" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-atyNDvHi9xY/UWmLwBkEZbI/AAAAAAAAA4g/ODAsiOwtdw0/s1600/IMG_6169.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-atyNDvHi9xY/UWmLwBkEZbI/AAAAAAAAA4g/ODAsiOwtdw0/s320/IMG_6169.jpg" /></a>Amanda aka MamaRobothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05471592321403617900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997509701869591375.post-15609113332384780182013-02-03T08:01:00.000-08:002013-02-03T08:01:29.728-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Another discarded album cover. The cool concept was Chris's idea, and I'm again happy with the execution. The problem is size and readability. Oh well!
<p>I was thrilled to discover my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/97274943/big-robot-alphabet-print-13-x-19">alphabet poster</a> was featured on <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/new-year-new-alphabet-prints-182445?img_idx=1">Apartment Therapy</a> last week. It's especially validating, as a mostly commercial artist, to get recognition for the work I do completely on my own. A nice thought to return to when I'm toiling away on the umpteenth revision of a design for my day job.

I've been messing around with ideas for my husband's upcoming album cover.

These days all of my professional artwork is done on a computer. Maybe that's why I've felt such an urge to use my brush pens lately...even to make a shopping list.

I had most of the summer off from my main job, so nice. The above pics were taken at a nearby park. Penny and I got in the habit of taking the bus there and picking wildflowers in the late afternoon, all by ourselves. We'd bring a ball to kick around but usually ended up just sitting and watching and talking.
Now it's fall, I'm back at work, Penny is back at school, and Chris and I are back to our long, busy days.
<p>Some links that have been inspiring me lately:
<p><a href="http://imprint.printmag.com/daily-heller/get-on-the-speedball/">Speedball pens</a>. Want to get my hands on a set.
<p><a href="http://animationbackgrounds.blogspot.com/search/label/LADY%20AND%20THE%20TRAMP">Lady and the Tramp background art</a>. My current day job is designing backgrounds and holy moly are these humbling.
<p>I will try to post some pics of our new apartment in my next entry. I know I take huge breaks in between posts so thanks for hanging in there :)Amanda aka MamaRobothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05471592321403617900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997509701869591375.post-83450037602157124852012-06-19T12:09:00.001-07:002012-06-19T12:09:31.350-07:00<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/102463147/vintage-creamy-white-western-electric"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QGZhNeGkyRc/T-DMWM9NwQI/AAAAAAAAA1M/SctnHmvanwo/s1600/IMG_5607.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="230" width="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QGZhNeGkyRc/T-DMWM9NwQI/AAAAAAAAA1M/SctnHmvanwo/s400/IMG_5607.jpg" /></a></a>
Our little family is seeking a bigger home. Until the right one finds us, I'm preparing for the impending move by unloading some things that I can live without. I'm going to be listing a few of them in my usually sleepy <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TelephoneRoad?ref=si_shop">vintage shop</a>. Yes, even my beloved phones! Go ahead, set up your office just like Joan Holloway.Amanda aka MamaRobothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05471592321403617900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997509701869591375.post-26467004845235545072012-06-12T12:02:00.000-07:002012-06-12T12:02:16.905-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fJrJWSkoqvA/T9eRCErCe1I/AAAAAAAAA08/a6jjx3D8I0o/s1600/painting_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="400" width="380" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fJrJWSkoqvA/T9eRCErCe1I/AAAAAAAAA08/a6jjx3D8I0o/s400/painting_2.jpg" /></a>
Another watercolor attempt. This one looks a little more like her at least. But oh that mess of blonde curls! I got lazy.Amanda aka MamaRobothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05471592321403617900noreply@blogger.com0
