This is a little extra info about the prints and art cards I have or will have available for sale. Questions welcome!

ATC’s/ACEO’s

These are the prints that I have available ACEO’s for. They are in editions of (I believe if I remember correctly) 15. They were printed by artcardswanted.com and are semi-glossy cardstock. Since these are editions and not originals and first editions from 2008, actually… They are only $2.50. Although they don’t scan well, they look nice.

Watercolor Intaglio

These are the prints that I am choosing to reprint as monoprints (the same image, with some differences, in this case, where the colors fall, mix and possibly their tones.) Because of the particular process I will be using it will be practically impossible to replicate these prints exactly the same as pictured. If the print has an outline, that will be almost exactly the same as what you see. Also, because each of these will be pulled individually and upon request, I can print them in custom colors as well. These prints, although the basic image will be the same, will essentially each be a OOAK.

These will be reproduced with watercolor intaglio, on watercolor paper. I will have examples of each print eventually, but for now I only have the originals for display.

Relief Prints

These prints are going to be printed in Editions of 30. They are single plate printed black on white, with the exception of the F!SH which is two plates printed on colored paper (that i have yet to choose).

In the Works

These prints are going probably to be available eventually, either by Watercolor Intaglio or otherwise. Because of their size and complexity they are on the waiting list.

I’m thinking about making my artwork available for purchase. At least some of it. I tried last year or the year before (i can’t remember) on etsy, but I didn’t market myself long enough or put enough effort into it. So here I am, in 2009, the year of me, trying again.

The problem is, I don’t really know if any of my work is… purchase worthy. BLAH!
I intend on turning most, if not all, of my prints into ATC’s/ACEO’s and I will easily be able to trade or sell them for less than $5.00. I’m working on developing my skills at watercolor intaglio so that I can reprint my Planets and Gods series at smaller sizes. I will also continue to work in relief printing as well.

Anything like a drawing or painting will probably be printed through a company as a giclee print as one of the reasons I never became a cartoonist is that I have a hard time drawing the same thing twice. Sculptures are currently out of the question. Not like I have ones that are good enough to buy. hahaha

This is also in part of me wanting to expand my collection of other artists work, which is as of right now, very small. Which is why I’m open for art trades too. I won’t give away my originals, with the exception of a few linocut and silkscreen prints that I have created editions of, but I’m willing to recreate almost anything I’ve already done for anybody who’s interested. Almost everything I’ve done can be recreated in less time, for lower cost and a smaller size if necessary in a slightly different medium.

So… I guess… Since I’m basically trying to promote myself… if there’s anything in my gallery that you like and would like to have a version of, drop me a line and we can coordinate a purchase/trade.

This is my book without paper. It’s steel plates that have had corners drilled through and fastened with a screw.
I stained them purple and wrote in silver marker the rearranged lyrics to The Birthday Massacre song Movie.

The only real problem with it is that I could have been more careful with the alignment of the text. I have poor handwriting and if I’d taken more care in making it straight and even, etc. it would have been so much better.

So today I realized that a lot of my day is spend perusing through etsy’s stores and forums. I don’t always chat (I’ve been trying to more recently). I also spend time looking at facebook and myspace and myartplot and repeatedly checking my emails where I get not much more than junk.

But it’s like when you’re looking for something to eat and you check the fridge there’s nothing there that you want… Then 5 minutes later you check it again because maybe something appetizing magically appeared just for you.

Did I get something now? How about now? Now? Now? Maybe this time… Okay…. i’ll check again in 10 minutes… Now??

So I figured I’ve gotta do something to spend my free time during the day. But how? I’m not really in a place where I can do my usual craft. I must do something else. Something very portable and something that I can put down and away quickly without much hassle if I need to. But what??

I was thinking about taking blank aceo’s with me to doodle, but is there anything else I’m not thinking of?? I bet there is.

Yes yes… finally.. I’ve been prattling on about it for a little bit now.

I have three ACEO’s up for sale at:

my etsy.com shop
my artcardswanted.com shop

I have them priced at $3.50. I hope they sell!! I am working on putting up a shopping cart here on my blog so that people can buy right from here too. (if they ever find this place, hahaha)

Please check them out!
