I had been doing a fair amount of creative work in the week so Saturday I did a lot of organizing. The Art Moi Inventory app is getting easier to use. This encouraged me to really start finishing the Madonna Collection. The Madonna Collection is a series of photographs and sketches that span several decades. The Madonna Artworks were created in the 1980's but were never finished. The Madonna photographs are being created right now. This is what I was working on during the week.
The Madonna artworks are mostly in black and white and were created during the musical era of Blondie and Madonna. This is when the two stunning women were much in the limelight. They were also very much competitive in both music and physical appearance. This is also a time when I decided to follow the art scene full time. It was my pleasure to finish the sketches on Saturday.
Saturday Morning
Right after breakfast I took the sketches downstairs to the large table where I could work on them more comfortably. The art is in fairly good condition but it was made on the fly, when was traveling to and from the performances by bus. Although they were hidden somewhere in a big bag they were properly protected in sketchpads. Well almost. The art was created in a very insecure situation so there was a lot of refining of the works to be done. Some stains had to be removed. Some art was slightly damaged and had to be repaired. There were a couple that were not good and I got rid of them.
When this was done, I started giving them titles, signing them and dating them. The titles are in English for now. Because I often go through the works it is most practical to have the titles on the front, on top. But the works are for an international market so the titles are written in pencil and can easily be erased. I also have, next to the titles a code that indicates where they are in my collections.
Once this done, I have been grouping them according to subjects and whether they are horizontal or vertical. Finally I have been entering them in the inventory program. This involves filming them. and then cataloguing them. I am very relieved, for now, to find a free art Inventory program.
Finally when that is done, I put them into a sketch book binder. This is made up of the outside covers of old sketchbooks that I bind up with hand made paper binding. And this is put into my archives one by one. then I go onto the next group or artworks to finish.
The film that is at the beginning of this article is a compilation of art that I created in the 1980's with a theme of Plants and Animals. A print of each of the art shown in this film is available for $120.00 each. Inquire at www.facebook.com/theartfabiancompany or at kfabian.kathynotes@gmail.com.
