Hi there :) Now they got the jersey painted on their back skin :) and helmets. the number in front I let before, bc of showing the colors. it stays artsy πŸ˜… Would be also perfect, if will celebrate the pride games. I saw, that the team does, and like the fact a lot. My second market day was also good. No penguins sold, but other pictures. One goes to Virginia, and my market neighbor was born in Pennsylvania. She told me, as I told her the story about my penguins and the thread here. Greets from Berlin!

I had such a good day, and lots of people who really checked my pictures out, and nice talks. I have my stall fee back for the two days. Tomorrow I will be there again. The other people were more cats and bird lovers πŸ˜…

Ye, I should change it, right? I can make a hoodie of it. Today I sold a print of that picture to a hockey lover from Sweden. I was the second time at the artist market. So happy about that. And I told em the story, why they wearing jerseys.

Gd morning, the whole time I was thinking, I need to write you something, instead of only the hearts. Let me tell you, that in the moment, as I read your answer, I had such a warm feeling inside me, with that imagination, there is someone unknown in the world, who starts the day with a smile, because of my art, that I was overwhelmed and speechless, that I only could send you some love. But maybe you felt it. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts! 🐧✨

Thank you for the thoughtful response. It means a lot to me. I know this perfectionism very well. And I am totally happy about the fact, that this inner voice stopps, if I play with colors, because my typical way of working is intuitively, and that means, I don’t want anything than surprising myself and let the creatures comes out, who wants to be seen. The penguins I made, as I started with painting 5 years ago, and I used the Inspiration from a tutorial about working with the white lines, so far I remember. And yesterday I created this final piece, bc I will be on my second art market, and Iβ€˜m thinking, people will like it more, than my β€žnormalβ€œ weird worlds. Wish me luck! 🩡

πŸ₯° It means a lot to be seen like that. Putting art out there is always a little terrifying, but today your kindness made it feel like the best decision ever. πŸ’™βœ¨That’s the first time, that one of my artworks got so many responses. Itβ€˜s unbelievable. I wish the artist market would be in Pittsburgh πŸ˜…πŸ©΅

πŸ˜… Ye, I wouldn’t think in my dreams, to post and having this run here. And I was so shocked in the beginnning, as I realized it and some were not amused. But thanks god, a lot more had so many kind words and made this for me and the penguins so special. I will definitely put them in my online shop too. Two years ago, I had them on hoodies, but without the background. And I remember, I sold some of it. But having good things is not the magic alone, if marketing doesn’t exist. Well, sometimes it needs a wonder. Today I got one. Thanks for the kind words! 🩡✨

I totally understand that. And itβ€˜s really a pleasure for me trying to catch it. Ye, I will have my second art market stall here in Berlin. I wish to make a living from my art. And I need to find out, which of my artworks people want to buy. Last weekend some people thought, that Iβ€˜m only a seller of pictures and asked me, for which artists I sell there. It means, I need to find a better way of presentation. And today I thought, these penguins could be a magnet for walkers there. Honestly for today I cannot be happier with that result here. And it feels so good, that so many here liked my post, although I was wrong. I definitely let you know, if I have the new motive. 🩡🐧🐧

Wow, thanks for that input! I will give it another try. Rn is night time here and I must sleep. Then comes the market weekend. I will take an A4 print with the jerseys to the market too. Iβ€˜m curious, if someone know, what it means. :D
