NewsletterIt’s Okay To Cry Graphic Art Print
I think that I’m coming near to the end of this specific graphic art print series, Notes to Myself. Here’s the latest called, It’s Okay To Cry. I think sometimes we have to remind ourselves that. It’s not about weakness or being over emotional. It’s simply another form of expression and I think it is necessary at times – a release for the body. That’s what I wanted to remind myself with this saying, for those low times we all run into. With this design I experimented and played more with layers of texture and excited about the results and the possibilities. Although I have many more notes to myself, I do feel ready to move on to other things.
I have one more note to finish up and that would make ten prints in this series. I do get obsessive compulsive at times with round numbers 
You can see the prints in my Flickr set as well. So, lately I’ve been in one of those slumps and I suppose that contributes to why I chose to do this particular note to myself. I am feeling disorganized and it’s really impeding my creative flow. Looks like it’s really time for Spring cleaning!

Hello fellow explorers and creative minds! My name is Linda, aka tortagialla - a nickname my adorable husband dubbed me meaning "yellow cake" in Italian. I'm your not-so-typical Californian girl who took the plunge and moved to the Tuscan hills of Italy. Now I'm living my dream designing, illustrating and crafting full-time.

This looks very good. I agree, sometimes, crying IS the answer. Being able to cry has its strength
Thanks for stopping by, it’s nice to hear your thoughts on this too.
How intriguing that tears were coming up for me in my art and my life this week, too. Love the weaving you do here.
Ohh…it’s the collective consciousness
Thanks for pointing me to your post!
Couldn’t agree more with that statement- never hold back- let it out!
Thanks for the encouragement
Love the simplicity of your graphic art print. You convey the idea very clear with just simple line work. Nice work. Also love the graded green background. That’s the kind of graded tone I’ve been trying practicing with my brush work … but haven’t been able to do it yet …
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I’ve always loved how simple lines can convey so much and also how changing something small can have such great effect.
This sure speaks to me!!! I think the design of this is wonderful. The blue green is so calming and beautiful. Great design.
Thanks Vanessa…I am loving this tealy aqua color lately…
What a great reminder!
Thanks for stopping by
