UnAuthorized CollaboraTION IN PROGRESS

2011-08-22T19:21:00.001-07:00

Okay.
so this is an album with photos of a PIECE IN PROGRESS.
There is a story:
A friend of mine (Alisha Ison) bought the piece in the photo with the description, ONE from an estate sale/auction thingy.
-Cradles board of some kind covered in linen with a plastic fresco if you will in the middle. It was an AP (artist's proof). It was not in perfect condition. It is flocked and had some marring and discolorations. The signature appeared to be that of a DONALD KATZ (THANK you to my friend, Rick Parker, for deciphering).
I looked up Donald Katz who was indeed known to have made some pieces like this. He (I think) called it a type of printmaking...but I think Plastic fresco is more accurate.

There are a bunch of Donald Katz' out there.

I have not gotten his permission to alter his art with my own....Hence the term/title called UNAuthorized collaboration.

I used the 'print' as a mold and there is some plaster of paris on this piece.

This is and will be a mixed media piece.

after it is finished, i will put it up for sale.
the profits will be divided into three...
a portion for my friend, Alisha, who provided the piece to me to begin with and She requested that I alter it (she is a friend AND a fan. yay!)
a portion will go to me. duh.
and a portion will be saved for Donald Katz....

Stay tuned for more pics as the piece PROGRESSES.....

Okay. I have been busy making art the size of trading cards with art on both sides
that you can buy at http://spitfaced.etsy.com. Here are some of my little artworks...

NEW FEATURE! WHat Thomas and Shady are doing while you are at work!!

2009-01-07T17:53:00.000-08:00

YES!!! There is a new feature here at Amy Chace Online Presence! The addition of 'THomas and Shady don't have jobs!" I will be posting images of the hi-jinks, schananigans and napping activity of Thomas and Shady. They are un-employed and it is mostly because they are lazy. They will not kill a bug or do anything at all that does not agree with them. They will interfere with any project that you deem important. On with the show:

Thomas naps in the closet:

Shady drinks from the toliet:

They get angry and turn over their bowls. Cat-ica! Cat-ica!:

Thomas sleeps in the baby seat:

Shady tries to escape out the air conditioner:

Thomas likes to watch me pee:

Now for some general sleeping and cuteness:

My friend, Danielle. photos by me.

You know I am not so good at searching for blogs, but I found one I think is fun and real through linkreferral.com. It is http://davidsmusingsthoughts.blogspot.com.

I found a weird website that might be helpful.

2008-10-10T13:20:00.001-07:00

It is called www.linkreferral.com
I am not sure if it is any good yet or not,but supposedly has gotten my etsy site, http://spitfaced.etsy.com a couple of hits since I registered last night...

2008-10-09T05:05:00.000-07:00

ACEO/ATC the COLLAGE series...

2008-09-23T02:27:00.000-07:00

...Okay I made some more artist trading cards (see prev. post for more info.) These ones are original collages (The actual cards don't have the watermark). I am putting them up on my blog first. But they will probably go up on the other two sites mentioned in the prev. post.

ACEO/ATC! My new thang!

2008-09-22T22:32:00.000-07:00

OKay. So the big thing right now is ACEOs and ATCs which are artist trading cards. They are 3.5 by 2.5 inches in size. They can be originals or prints. I am going to make originals. I made five so far and here they are (The originals don't have my spitfaced watermark on them):

P.S. I posted them on my etsy store ( http://spitfaced.etsy.com ) and also on my new store www.artcardswanted.com/twinreflex. They are a really great and inexpensive way to collect artwork!
P.P.S. I just discovered an ACEO blog that I am checking out at http://aceotogo.typepad.com. Looks pretty cool.
