Take it oooooooff

Oranje went well, everyone! Thanks to all who came out. I now know what kind of directions to go in from here. They are directions I am very excited about.







These paintings were the hit of the party, for sure. I am hoping to do more of them! With all the digital stuff, which I love too, I sometimes pine for getting my hands dirty. What better way to get dirty than to get ink all over everything in my house?
Kind of glad my cat is black because of that.

There will be more like this in the future, for sure!

Lost, Found, Painted.

I've gotten into the habit of picking up glassware from second hand places and painting on them. When I lived in NJ, lots of what I found was second hand Ikea stuff, not so much here in Indy. Sad, I miss finding that stuff. Here are some examples I just put up on Etsy. Expect more in the future, I already had one be sold!


Take a Whiff


Around the City - sold


City in the Round

Bits and Bobs, This and That

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Get that bitch a container. Bitches love containers. At least, I know for me it's one-hundred percent true. I've collected jars and cigar boxes as a child to keep things in. It's gotten no better as I get older, I tend to get cigar boxes and cool containers for keeping art fair display stuff and to keep who knows what around the house. Growing up where I did let me have four different IKEAs within 30 minutes no matter what direction you drove. I got. SO. MANY. BOXES.

I still love containers and boxes, so when I'm out and about at garage sales and goodwills, I tend to pick up boxes, vases, containers of all sorts to paint at a later date. I keep putting them aside, but I finally got my ass in gear and started painting them and playing. Now I have a few in my shop, expect more!

These two sets are originally IKEA, I wanted to keep them for my own use but I already have a disturbing number of containers in my kitchen, bathroom, and studio. So instead I'm letting you people have these lovely containters.

Meet This and That:



and Bits and Bobs:



You can find them on Etsy, where I just put them up this afternoon.

The idea behind them is that you can china-marker, dry-erase, or whatever marker the contents in the little frames. I hate when my household items boss me around. I'd rather take charge and label them myself.

More of these kind of things to come, keep your eyes peeled.
