What is New In The Shop | website Updates

Hi everyone, I have been updating my website over the last couple of days. This has been long over due. The image above is a mock up I found on my Affinity Designer software. I plan to create some of my own which will be fun. Until then check out the ones I have used to add some of my products in a new and exciting way.

I have been itching to lay out the cute pieces and what I have available on my website for a while. I am aiming to be more cohesive and accessible in here.

Let me know about my new greetings card layout: Link to the shop page here to check it all out https://beatriceajayi.com/shop/

New Art Studio Share now on my youtube channel August no. 22

Hi and welcome to my YouTube channel ‘Bea Creative TV’. If you have not been here on my channel before hello, it’s awesome to meet you.

My name is Beatrice Ajayi. I am an artist, creative, illustrator and published author. I love to use a range of mediums in my artwork. Welcome to my channel ‘Bea Creative TV’.

You will find me working on a range of pieces both digitally and traditionally.

In this brief video today I am sharing snippets of my week. Mainly traditional tools, upcoming online class. It’s a shorter video because I am trying to focus on quality and editing, let’s see how it goes week to week. I am trying to make this more of a weekly update of my week and relax in my production approach. Looking at what music I want to use and discover my style is going to be fun.

Please do subscribe it helps me a lot in a whole bunch of ways. Getting more views through the algorithm and therefore reaching more people with my creative adventures. I want to make as many peoples days brighter with my characters and shenanigans as possible. 🤣 Hopefully I will figure out how to add my joking skills in to my videos. Maybe as I get a little more relaxed. A step at a time I guess. Link here: https://youtu.be/ybCNRL9dwww?si=bNWsXcIFxNaDg5P5

Clay Sculptures | Original Art Process | Real-time Project | Artist In The Studio Wednesday Live | August

Blog week 2 Aug

Hi folks and welcome to another blog post here on my website.  

I have been getting up to all sorts of creative fun recently. 

One of these has been to get back to my clay journey. 

I really want to put my illustrated characters and ideas into a more tactical medium. Working with clay is very relaxing to me. I have been exploring the restful approach to my creating. Trying something new that is out of my comfort zone seems to be it.

I have worked with airdry clay before but wanted to use ceramic clay and glazes. I want to get into more functional creativity. Using mediums that are more accessible to people is a start. 

You can see my fledgling step into ceramics here in my New Wednesday Live link: https://www.youtube.com/live/4yHcpsCt3dU?feature=share

Art is Like Cake | New on my Youtube Channel | Beatrice Ajayi | Artist Introduction | Blog

Weekly Artist Art Vlog no.19 | Art is Like Cake | Artist Studio Practice | Artwork | #youtube

Hi and welcome to my website Blog .

If you have not been here on my  site before, hello, it’s awesome to meet you.

My name is Beatrice Ajayi. I am an artist, creative, illustrator and published author. I love to use a range of mediums in my artwork. 

You will find me working on a range of pieces both digitally and traditionally.

In this video today I am – sharing my latest thoughts and perceptions on myself and my art, an introspective if you will. I have decide my new working title is ‘Multidisciplinary Artist’. I have used this as a job desk in the past and my biography language. But I have realised more and more that it is a more true title of my approach as an artist. 

I am currently in the process of decluttering my studio ( a constant issue) I am trying to reimagine art and products I created years ago and asking if they have a place in my life. 

This has led to my discussion in the video I have for you today. i am conscious of the pressure to give my best, I therefore am trying to make sure i am feeding my creative tank with new inspiration and have decided on a path to follow. The path of eating as much came as possible ( or to paraphrase, to create as much art as I am inspired to, through the process of storytelling)

As a creative and maker being able to generate work that you love and can elate others needs some investment and i want to be able to bring that into my process. I use a lot of processes. I try out something and if it doesn’t work I reimagine it and give it new life. Thank you for reading this far if you have. Please do subscribe, so that more people can see these videos and we can all feed our creativity together through our interactions.

Slow Down | Be Present | 9th January 2022

Blogs on my Website 2022

Nine days in to the new year and I am having to remind myself to slow down.

To be present…

We had a power cut on my street yesterday which put a stop to my digital work. So we spent time telling the kids stories from our youth. 

They huffed and puffed a little about their lack of technology, (ok a lot!😂🤣), asking why different items in the house weren’t working. Almost four hours later… when everything blasted back into brightness, their joyous screams were hilarious. They zipped around connecting their gadgets to electric lifelines. 

We had paused on our doing and had been drawn together in teaching them a little more about thankfulness and not taking things for granted. 

I need to be present and not take this year for granted. 

P.S I hope you have a lovely day folks. 🤗

Friday 19/11/2021 in the Studio

Spent an hour on this piece to keep my hand memory going yesterday. A quick sketch on this embroidery hoop I have had for a while and I was off. As always had an impression of where I wanted to go with it. I.e mood, a dog or two a boy. I made sure I had a variation on the primary colours on my palette and got started. It was fun. I love looking at my time lapses and trying to get a little knowledge on how I work.
