The Underwater Cave of the Sea Worms- By Ms. Dani G Art- 2023

One of my favourite pieces of 2023! This was another funky shape experiment, like a complete experiment. I had no idea what I was going to paint, I just wanted to use some new paint that I got. (one of those paints being the green-blue base of this painting)

It came into its own as I added to it and I adore the final piece!

If I don't sell this any time soon, I'm going to get it professionally framed and submit it for a gallery show! But if you wanna snatch it up...

DIY Art Print Display- By Ms. Dani G Art- 2023

Support my art || Youtube || Website || Sub to my Substack

I made this display out of cardboard boxes, leftover red board from another project, computer paper and tissue paper.

It's a bit lopsided and looks very much homemade, buy it's served its purpose and unlike my other DIY market displays, I think this one will be seeing more use in the future.

The Natural City- By Ms. Dani G Art- 2022

This was the 2nd or 3rd piece I made to kick-start my new art. It took a while for me to name it because it was one of those pieces that I just went in and created. There wasn't much inspo besides mushrooms and ✨ detail ✨

It's giving ✨ industrial ✨ despite the mostly organic shapes. It's all of those straight lines and triangles!

A Little Piece of Nature- By Ms. Dani G Art- 2022

I have this small pack of really cool handmade watercolour paper I bought when I used to live in the U.K. I can't remember why I chose to paint this little scene on said paper, but as you can see, it was a fantastic idea.

The edges are painted with gold watercolour and it looks lovely!

This is a piece I've been working on since 2023. I haven't touched it since February 2024, but here are all the stages it's been through.

I'm making a YouTube video documenting this painting, so look out for that in the future!

Facets of Nature- By Ms. Dani G Art- 2023

Support my art || Youtube || Website || Sub to my Substack

Inspired by the 'scribble art' from my pattern sketchbook. I used ink for the lines and disliked how shiny it looked, so I went over it with red acrylic paint.

This piece and its frame are up for grabs in my Art Catalogue!

Sub to My Substack Newsletter/Blog!

My first post went up todaaaaaaayyyyyy! 🎉🎉🎉

Remember when I said I had to close off my newsletter because of some new rules? (Basically, if you didn't have a domain name, you could no longer send bulk emails 😒)

Well, I discovered Substack!! 🎉🎉🎉

It's a mix between a newsletter and a blog (more of an old-school blog, now that I think about it)

I'm currently posting once a month, every 2nd Monday of the month at 6:30 PM AST and I plan to have mini updates in between when I have new stuff for sale.

If this is something you're interested in, the subscription would be appreciated. 💕💕💕 I'll be working as I go to make it interesting for you!

Some pics of my artwork in progress!

These are all stills, but if you want to see how my works come to be, I also post my art to my YouTube channel Ms. Dani G Art.

I'm currently working on making a backlog of videos for this year, so I'm on a little hiatus from YouTube. I'll be back in September with some cool new art, products and projects to share!

Would love to see you there when I get back! ✨✨✨✨✨

The Jade Splosh- By Ms. Dani G Art- 2023

One of my funky shape experiments! And it came out amazing! I filmed this one for YouTube and used it for the video where I talk about leaving the new age and returning to Jesus ✨✨✨

That's a big part of why my art is the way it is today and I thought I should talk about it.

Like always, this piece is available for purchase, but always check my website for availability. First come, first served!

An Animal Cell- By Ms. Dani G Art- 2022

This was the first piece I worked on when I decided to pivot my art and business from fairy fantasy new-age art to pattern (and later on, abstract) art.

I was ill when I made this piece, so it took two months to complete. It was tedious, yet relaxing and being forced to slow down with it was a good thing for me.

This piece is glorious, as you can see! Still one of my absolute favourites!

And it happens to be up for purchase in my Art Catalogue!

My Art Market Tables Over the Years

I'm new to being a vendor at handmade and small business markets. Here's what I've done so far and what I've learned.

-------------

November 2019- Trini Market 868- University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago

This was when I was still Ms. Dani G Illustration, creating my fairy fantasy artworks. My table was totally DIYed, made of cardboard, that sticky contact paper you use to cover the insides of your drawers and cupboards and popsicle sticks.

It was very hodge-podge and I think it's my favourite table! It looks so full of life! I Definitely brought too much stuff though. It's a bit overwhelming. Too much variety and too little organisation.

The crowd was great and I sold one of my original paintings! Overall, wonderful first experience!

Table cost- $375 (early bird discount) Money made- $175

April 2022- South Marker- C3 Mall, San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago

I was still Ms. Dani G Illustration, still creating my fairy fantasy art. I brought a lot less this time, but there was still a decent assortment of products. Prints, zines, stickers, tiny originals, handmade jewellery. I sold a few of everything except the original paintings. Stickers were the best seller.

I think this was definitely my best table in terms of set-up and product variety. Everything has its own place and products can be seen and looked through easily. I did less decoration, wish I did more. My table felt really small compared to some of the others I saw there.

The crowd was a mixed bag. Younger people liked my stuff, but some of them had to ask Mum and Dad to buy. Mum and Dad threw some side-eyes. Older people in general weren't too interested.

Overall, alright experience, glad it wasn't my first, because I would have been crushed tbh.

Table cost- $400 Money made- $172

November 2023 South Market- C3 Mall, San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago

My first market as Ms. Dani G Art with my patterns and abstracts. I only came with originals for this one, as I couldn't afford other products. I also wanted to focus on selling my paintings.

I DIYed the yellow and white stand and used my assortment of mini easels as displays. Some of my art was also framed. This set-up is very simple as I wanted everything to be clearly seen at a glance. I think it looks a bit too disjointed even though everything on the table is in the same category.

This was my worst market by far because I sold nothing! Luckily, that market in particular was a bust for almost everyone else too.

The crowd was the opposite of last time. A lot of young people who would have loved my old art, but didn't give two hoots about my current art. I made a video series about this market here.

Table cost- $450 Money made- $0

Conclusion:

-I like the personality of my first two tables and I need to bring that back for my future tables.

-The 2nd table had the best set-up and product variety. I'm not yet at a place where I can sell just my paintings, so I need to bring back that product variety for my next table (I have many plans!)

-Try a new location to find new clientele. C3 hasn't worked out well so far. South Market has other locations and so does Trini Market.

-Try new dates, particularly holidays. Holiday markets have the biggest crowds. I can plan ahead so I can participate in one or a few.

-Save up for those expensive AF tables. $400-$500 seems to be the standard price for tables and 2 chairs (this is in TTD by the way, not USD)

------------

This year (2024) I plan to do an August (summer) market. I want to do another Trini Market because they're closer to home and the crowd is more appreciative of art. I also plan to try a different location at South Market.

Someday I would also like to table at a local comic convention with my personal art ( @adinelleggreeo ) I'm slowly creating things I enjoy again and I'd like to try selling some of them without pressure.

Golden Carotenoid- By Ms. Dani G Art- 2022

Again, this is either the 2nd or 3r piece I made to kick-start my new art! I just wanted to make a black and yellow piece, because these colours are glorious together.

I mean, the artwork speaks for itself, am I right?

I named it after the pigment in plants that give them their sunny yellow colours.

Cytoskeletal- By Ms. Dani G Art- 2022

Another one of my earlier pieces. It honestly started out as a bit of a mess, because this paper DRANK up water like it just got dragged out of the desert, but I made it work!

Beautiful artwork if I do say so myself!
