Newspapers really add to the art as a canvas. I learned that lesson a while back. And today I have combined painting with block printing on my news-canvas. I enjoyed the block printing a lot and thought about adding a little twist to it. So I created several block-cut birds and then printed them on top of my painted paper. It’s got a distinctive look to it that I like. This is something I will have to try again some day. And I am very grateful to my sweetheart for playing Vanna White with today’s Bird-A-Day art. Enjoy.
Good day! I was curious to know if setting up
a blog site such your own: http://mkdickerson.com/2012/03/06/day-66-newspaper-wire-bird/ is hard to
do for inexperienced people? I have been hoping to create my own website for a
while now but have been turned off because I’ve always believed it required tons of work. What do you think? Thank you
I recommend you go visit WordPress.com. They are the standard DIY blog site. WordPress sites are free to start and can be live in one day. From there it is a learning and trial by error experience. Try it.
Hey MKD, I love your blog so I’ve nominated you for the Kreativ Biogger Award! Please visit to collect http://wp.me/p29hz7-8X!

You’re welcome and very worthy. I see bird art everywhere I go now which causes me to think of your blog! You’ve also inspired an upcoming post I’m planning too :)
I LOVE this!! I want!
Wow. Your like the third person today that said they want this one. Hmmm. Maybe I need to do more of these. :) Thanks Emjayzed!
I’m serious too – I REALLY like it! So simple yet effective.
I have been toying with the idea of newspaper to use in conjunction with canvas and paint. My idea is a little different to yours but you’ve refreshed my desire to give it a go! So thanks – this blogging thing is turning out way better than I expected!
Thanks. Its nice to hear that. I hope you give it go and have fun with your newspaper idea.
Thanks Gary. This one will be getting framed soon.
Another one that I think is framable.
