Hi Everyone!

From my observations Fairy Art seems to be all the Rage. Am I right? Only what really seems to be huge looks very illustrative. My work is more expressionistic, impressionistic...would it fly?

Also, I'm interested in doing Celtic Art, but using Fiber as my medium. I'm not sure if their is a market for it.

Yes, There is a huge market for fairy/fantasy type art, and alot of artist clammering for it.

Usually fantasy patrons find an artist(s) and stick with them. (like most)

Get ready for alot of ifs...........

If you can get a following with this new genre/style of yours, and keep with it (as with anything) there is a market
If you can keep your old market alive (non fairy) and still produce fairy goodies - then you wont stress over it if things don't sell right away. So you can mature your new market with supply/demand. (not all your eggs in one basket)
if you can do a human figure even in an expressionistic way that doesn't look like a 3 year old did it. (meaning patrons are not stupid expressionistic does not mean I suck but this is the best I can do - so I call it expressionistic.) Sounds harsh but judging by your cats, this is not or shouldn't be an issue.
if you are talking about this style of your art:

Then I think you can pull it off.

1. because this style is not your run of the mill fantasy art.
2. I don't think I've seen any quite like it

There are alot of people who do straight realism/illustrative. And they do it VERY well, just remember if you try to do something outside the box, it might take a little time. Give a couple pieces a try, never know.....unless you try.

(but this is after only seeing your work this size)
