Numberism Art Trading Cards

I'm doing a special run of Numberism Artist Trading cards. They are 2.5" x 3.5" on Illustration Board and I will have them available at the Melrose on 7th Ave Art Fair on March 7th.

I haven't decided how much they will cost yet. We will see.

Numberism Time Lapse Vid 1

This is the video I have been playing at the artwalks of me drawing number 11 in "Perpetual Motion", "Anticipation".
As always, it is drawn entirely in numbers. It's strange to see this go by so fast for me. In reality, this took 5 days.

I tend to flip around my page when I draw and I caused absolute havoc for Andy to make this. For my next time lapse I promise to try to keep the spinning down to a minimum. You can't tell because Andy fixed it, but before, this video was pretty much spun.

This is only the first half of the video. I promise the full video will be up soon.

Article in The Mesa Republic

On my first trip down to the Mesa MacFest Artwalk, I was chosen as the Selected Artist and was given a Blue ribbon. I had no idea they offered this, so it was a nice surprise! The interview they gave me is now in the Mesa Republic Newspaper (page 8) and I believe this is an excerpt online at the Mesa Republic Website

You can also find an interview on me at the MacFest Information booth as their selected artist.

I'm going to go see if I can find that article in the Mesa Republic Newspaper.

My first interview... yeah!

Su Vino Winery Exhibit

I have officially encroached on Scottsdale, and I plan to take over completely. :) More on that in the future, but for now...

The wonderful, Su Vino Winery has invited me to exhibit my work March 5th from 7 - 10pm. I'll be decorating their walls with a new run of limited edition large Canvas Giclee prints, a smattering of my smaller works and one original from "Perpetual Motion". Which piece it will be is a surprise. ...

I will be there from 7 -9 pm, drinking wine and elbowing with some of my favorite people I've met these past few months and listening to the music of Mathew Thornton.

RSVP with me at Sienna.Morris@Gmail.com with the Subject "Su Vino RSVP". Please include the number of people you are bringing.


See you there.

New Website Launched

I'm a fickle kind of person, never satisfied, especially with my art and design. I'm always changing it, editing it, adding layers, rearranging it. So it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that I decided my old art site just wasn't cutting the mustard, so I went and made a new one.

My new (and permanent) site resides at www.SiennaMorris.com

It's light on graphics, quick on the loading and will be constantly updated with my news and show dates, which I will have plenty to post in these upcoming months.

I also suggest you get on my email list for my email updates if you want to know where I'll be. Just send me an email over at Sienna.Morris@Gmail.com with the Subject "Mailing List".

New Prints on Etsy!

I just got in a whole new run of prints that I have up for sale on my Etsy account. In addition to the usual paper prints, I now have a wide variety of matted and canvas prints, including small 8 x 10 matted prints in black or white.

I'm most excited about my new canvas giclee prints. They're perfect! If you look close, it looks like I drew right on them.

Right now, I have small 8 x 10 canvases, a couple 16 x 20s and a 20 x 24. I will have more up soon as well.

As always, don't be afraid to ask. If you want one of my pieces, but you'd like it in a different size or canvas instead of paper (so on), just email me at Sienna.Morris@Gmail.com or convo me on Etsy.

See them all at My Etsy shop at www.SiennaMorris.Etsy.com

Anticipation

As promised, I have uploaded the 11th Numberism piece in my "Perpetual Motion" series for purchase and viewing online. I call this "Anticipation"

Thank you to Jessica White and Nick Oxentenko for being such awesome models!


This is now at both my online shops and available for sale at

The Difference between Sex and Sensuality

I've been drawing the female body longer than anything else. Maybe that says something about me and maybe it says something about the female body.

For years I focused on drawing sexual images, but if you ask me, they weren't very sexual. The drawings and pin ups I did in high school lacked that innate sensuallity that triggers memory and fantasy. They were distant like photos behind glass.

My more direct images had that sexuality but left little to the imagination. They were explicit and lacked the questions of good seduction. Show enough to intrigue, but not enough to tell the whole story. It's a difficult line to find.

My latest Numberism piece feautures two lovers, in the moments before they make love. They are partially clothed. He has just pulled off her shirt, and is himself topless.

He is pushing down upon her, her head and neck are reaching up. His hand grips her waist, and their numbers fall into each other, curling around and in between each other, dipping down and reaching up into each other. Their eyes are locked.

This is seductive and sensual by my definition, but the rest of the story is for the individual. For me, I have plenty to fill in the blanks with my memory. I think everyone can relate to this, remembering this moment, part of you wanting nothing more than to be back there.

I call the piece, "Anticipation" and my two wonderful models, Jessica White and Nick Oxentenko, brought life to the photo.

Oh, you want to see it?

Latest Design

As a designer I've worked on a lot of projects I wouldn't normally think to go looking for. It just happens that way. I'm not complaining; every time that happens, I get a new gig and I get to do something I haven't done before. There's nothing I can't stand more than having to do the same thing over and over again. There was a while there when I didn't want to even look at another website.

I was recently hired by a Catholic school to design their new Track and Field shirts. Something I would never have thought of, but kinda fun. After staring at hundreds of Track and Field pictures, I suddenly got a bug to be more physical. Those people are amazing. I never really thought about it, because I've never been much of a sports person, but they're pretty amazing. Looking at pictures of people pole vaulting and hurdling is just sick. They have such control! The most I ever got into sports was Kung Fu and Tennis, and not really with the whole Tennis thing.



Now my arms and stomach are sore as hell. I've been doing push ups every day. Push ups! I don't know when the last time was that I actually did a push up, and not one of those pansy ass girly knee push ups either. Real push ups. I'm also doing those wacky Canadian Air force leg twisty sit ups. They're mean, but they're so good. I forgot how good this felt. I'm also running with the dogs here and there.


So these are the shirts that inspired me to get off my ass. I created these in Inkscape. (I've asked to get one of the shirts too. ) :)
