This chick has the coolest shop. She makes paper goods out of recycled junk mail and embeds seeds in them. You can give someone a birthday card, they can water it and have a flower. Yay!

So I haven’t made any new original ACEOs or ATCs for quite a while, but it’s definitely something I enjoy. Recently someone on Etsy requested that I make some of my paintings into ACEO sized prints. She was even kind enough to give me a bit of a review in her blog.

It reminded me of how much I like to do the quick little tradable art. It lets me work quickly through ideas and still have a really good end result. It also gives people who can’t necessarily afford larger pieces the opportunity to own original art. It’s a pretty good deal all around.

I painted that little girlie today, and I pre-cut a bunch more blank cards so that I can grab one and paint something whenever the inclination strikes. If you’re interested in taking Little Brat home, she’s available in my shop.

A new pendant that I made from a vintage optical lens and one of my paintings. Check out my Etsy Shop for this and more!

I’m currently in the process of completely overhauling my Etsy shop. I’m adding new prints of all sizes, and probably some original stuff along the way. Check it all out!

Here’s a preview of a painting I’m currently working on. It’s mixed media (oil, resin, collage) on canvas. The going has been slow but I’m having fun with her.  I hope to have her done by the end of the week so I can get started on the triptych I’ve been planning.



This post is mainly an excuse to try out Flock in conjunction with my flickr and wordpress accounts.  It’s pretty interesting, and considering the amount of time I spend posting things like this around the web I think it’ll free me up for more painting.  I still haven’t fully configured it with the rest of my accounts but I’ll see how it goes.  It’s definitely a new way of thinking about a web browser.  It also makes a lot of sense in terms of the way things have been going the past few years online.
