I think I need a rebrand

Not me, nor this blog actually as its just my personal blog.  But I want to rebrand my portraits into something cooler and cuter and darker and more interesting.  At the moment they are just drawings of children.  And while that is FINE I just feel that it all needs a DIRECTION.  I have lately been utterly obsessed (in a good way) with the idea of THE DARK HOUSE.  Its like this total shift in the way I see things.  Hmm, I guess it has been growing for a while, but I so used to be about the beach house vibe, all bright breezy candy colours and now, this dark wood, slightly fairy tale sinister, cosy warm dark coloured thing.  And I want to up the price I charge for the portraits, and - well  - package them better.  Create a story around them, and more of a recognisable theme that is truly my own.  Maybe dark and twisted is not entirely the way to go with children's portraits.  But an element of darker colours, a touch of the fairy tale forest.  This is what I am thinking along the lines of.  And maybe starting a portrait focused blog.  Or a proper art blog.  And keeping this one as my own thing. I don't know exactly, I like being able to think out loud with this blog.  working it out as I go along.
