Plans are changing

I've decided that I'm going to paint. No more fake religion. 6 ft x 4 ft, vertical paintings. The digital art approach just isn't going to have the impact in the end that I want. There can be something a bit cheap about prints. I'm going to still stay on the same general subject matter, and still do stickers, but mainly I'm going to make oil paintings. I think. Still up in the air. Don't really have to decide for a few weeks. Just wanted to get some words down right now.

The main reason for my change of approach comes from a late night drawing session last night. I came up with this:

I can see that on a big canvas, with a white border and really vibrant colors. I'll do 4-6 of these paintings of symbols, and then maybe do some smaller drawings too. I still want some narrative elements to them, and if I do these straightforward paintings, that'll be difficult to fit in. That's why I'd do the drawings.

What I like about the drawing above is that its simple and has a lot of impact, yet it retains the decorative and rhythmic elements that I like about folk art and religious art. Its also still very iconographic.
