Introducing artipantz!

Hi everyone, my name is Rebecca, aka Artipantz.

my 5 favorite places to create artwork:
1. in my classroom, as my syudents are working
2. at my art desk, as my husband "works" at the computer
3. at the dining room table, with my daughter as she spreads glitter glue all over her body
4. in bed, while my children nap
5. in my head, where most of my artwork simmers and boils.

4 stages of my art work (so far)
1. ages 0-15 "The Early Years"pen and ink illustration, various mixed media, especially playdough
2. ages 17-22 "The Earthy Years" Ceramics and life drawing
3. ages 23-29 "The Hipster years" Oil paintings of naked women
4. ages 29-33 "The Birthing Years" Illustration again, also the creation of two little people and approximately 575 young artists (and perhaps some future convicts who appreciate Picasso)

3 illustrators that inspire me
1. Ezra Jack Keats -the perfect collage
2. Peter McCarthy- the perfect dog
3. Patricia Pollocco -the perfect grandma

2 places where I feel completely at peace
1. At the ocean, sitting on a beach chair next to my mother
2. Between 1:30 and 3:30 if stars align and both of my children are napping

1 goal I have as an artist
1. to be able to call myself an artist without giggling
