Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. I'm Shadoe delgado and I'm a San Francisco based artist. I sculpt, sketch, sew, paint and draw. My latest obsession is making custom toys. I really enjoy making toys based of my fine-art ceramic pieces. The pieces incorporate the subject matter of ego, personae, shadow, and masks. I'm doing the same thing with my toys however they're more colorful and playful.
