Annie Dunn

Hello, I'm Annie, the artist behind Chaos in Color, where the cats are alive and the people are not. (Except for me, I'm presently still alive.) While not every painting includes a cat, most of them do. Seriously, you should expect to see a lot of cats. And skeletons too. Don't say you weren't warned.

I post a new painting here every week, along with at least one status update. The updates can be works in progress, quick sketches, R&D, live events, or even cat photos. Basically anything related to keeping the chaos going. The weekly paintings are the main content. Style and topic will vary, but each one is a finished artwork. These are digital images, so you can even save copies for personal use. I'm trusting you though not to post them anywhere else because they don't have watermarks, and they won't be very special to my other patrons if they have been scattered like kitty litter all over the internet.

I take the concept of impermanence very seriously. It pervades every aspect of my personal philosophy, including the artwork. My personal practice, on the other hand, is still a bit ... chaotic. I don't always act according to impermanence, but I'm working on it.

With that in mind, I make the weekly paintings available to patrons for one month and then they get sent to the vault. I might decide to revisit some of this artwork and develop it further, but most of the paintings will reach their bloom, enjoy the light for awhile, maybe even plant a few seeds, and then make way for whatever comes next. The idea is for you to experience the artwork in the now and, I dare to hope, to take something out of that experience.

Some folks think of Patreon as charity, donations to keep indie artists afloat. I don't see it that way. I want you to get value out of your patronage. I want to repay your trust with hard work. And most of all, for whatever it's worth to you, I want you to be glad that you were here to see these things happen.
