New here? What’s this Weekly Art Practice all about?

Well, let me tell you… Every Saturday, I share my art practice over the past 7 days. I'm fascinated by artistic practice – it's not just about creating art but the entire process. From influences and ideas to materials and skills, each artist's unique approach shapes their work, making it more than a finished piece. Just imagine having a weekly update from your favourite living artist. How cool would that be?

SLART ZINE - COMING THIS YEAR

I said in my last two posts…

Dear Mehret Biruk, you inspired me to create my own Zine. What it’ll contain I do not know as yet, but you’ll be first to know! Austin Kleon is also a big Zine creator don’t you know?

My art zine came all the way from Toronto, created by Mehret Biruk, today. I’m going to savour it over a nice cuppa and tell you all about it next week! (Tease, I know!).

I’ll show you a tiny video from the pages of Mehret’s zine, but you’ll have to buy it yourself ;-)

Insight of the week 💡

Chunk down.

This week, I didn’t sell my soul but I did get my costs covered

As I mentioned in previous posts, I’ve put the auction price down to 1 penny and increased the postage to £6.99 to cover postage and production costs.

It’s a two-fold benefit to my art business. 1. It’s getting my art out there in the world, and it’s promoting further sales of my work. I’d be curious to share with you at the end of 2025, how many of these souls sold within a year, and then how many went on to buy new art. It’s an exciting thought!

Nothing to report. Soon come!

New listing on my eBay store

I spent a little time crafting a decent eBay listing and making use of the 25 free images and 1 video that you can post. I’ll keep you posted on how I get on. Check out the listing.

The paintings live at slart.me. Have a look if you want to see the work up close.

That’s all for now.

Do the thing and you will have the power.

Best wishes and deep blessings,

SLART.
