Rose sold her first piece of original art yesterday! It was an ATC. Whenever something of hers sells I am always so excited. Most of the time she looks at me like "what's all the excitement about?" but once she said "Let's go shopping!". Well yesterday she didn't make any comment but then a short time later she came and handed me a list. On it were the following items: royal blue headband, brown belt, fingernail polish, turkey, white short sleeve blouse. I think she wants to go shopping again:)

Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by. We will probably put this drawing on a card in case anyone is interested.

This is a 3 x 4 inch painting that I did using texture gel and acrylics on canvas. It's available for sale on Artbyus. This would be great for a gift or to keep for yourself.

Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.

This is a piece I did for Artomat. If you are not familiar with artomat then you are in for a treat. These are vend ready pieces of art that are sold in refurbished cigarette machines in the US and abroad. It's another great and inexpensive way to collect art. All of the art is the size of a pack of cigarettes. They are usually done on wood blocks like mine was but they can be done on just about anything as long as the work of art will fit inside a box. There are all types of art in these machines and the most exciting part, to me anyway, is that you don't know what you're getting until it comes out of the machine. There are over 500 artists from around the world participating in this ten year old project. Take a look at their website to find a location near you and to see what you might find in one of these machines. If your city is artomatless I suggest you contact your local officials and demand a machine be installed immediately!

This project is great exposure for artists. Someone saw the pieces I did on my website and contacted me to do a commission. I'm almost done with their painting so I'll be sure and post it when I'm finished. I'll also post my next batch of artomats when I'm done.

Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.
