Hello,
I'm David Crews and I am Ivadd Wercs!
Ivadd Wercs is simply an anagram of my actual given name and when thinking about what I wanted as a name for my new line of one one-of-a-kind artwear I wanted a fun new name to suit my eccentric creativity and no name but Ivadd could suit me better. The Wercs worked to!
A lifetime artist and craftsperson I've worked in many mediums from concrete to iron. I've painted and sewed. Done it all so to say...
My 21 years in New Orleans had a huge impact on my style. Hence the Gothic edge on occasion. I was enamored with the first king cake babies that came my way then and instantly started creating with them.
Sold much art in New Orleans starting at the outdoor French Market and eventually later operating a small bohemian gallery on Magazine st. called 3000 A.D. which my chef partner and I later turned into a successful restaurant we operated for 10 years called 'Winnie's Artsy Cafe' which 'Southern Living Magazine' included us in an article with photos in the November 2003 edition.
'Winnie's' was a combination gallery meets restaurant and I still sold my art along with some of the best breakfasts, brunches and lunches in New Orleans!
Moving back to beautiful Central Florida several years back due to aging parents, I started a small gardening business and let my art slide for a while...
Just this January I came across a bag of king cake babies in my storage area and it brought back fond memories of the day and re-inspired me to begin my artwear again.
It will likely take time for folk to get to know and purchase from me being a 'newbie' again on the webstore scene. I'm well aware of the great talents out there and know the competition is incredible, yet I believe the quality in craftsmanship of my original 'Wercs' will be appreciated in time...
I simply am not a huge fan of the net or a social media scrolling junky and cannot bring myself to blog or spend as much screen time as I'm told I should to promote my wercs, but will attempt to work more on that...sigh. (-: }
Gotta do something with that dang' Instagram account they say!
Much more fun to create then promote!
Even this letter of introduction has taxed my mind! HaHaHaaaa!
Again,
