    Art for Sale!

    I’m a little nervous about this. I know nothing about e-commerce. Heather from OMSH suggested I sell some art on my blog to get things rolling because setting up a shop costs a bit and my credit card is fresh out of funds. The dog art gallery show turned out to be a little more costly than profitable for me but that’s okay because it was for a good cause and who knows, maybe some of the profit I donated will help keep a cute puppy from being put to sleep.

    I don’t have any paintings right now. But I do have digital prints. Three to be exact. There is Working Dog that can be seen on Neilochka’s blog. It looks pretty snazzy framed doesn’t it? And don’t worry, if you choose to purchase any of these prints they will be signed. You won’t get jipped like Neilochka and get a mysterious unsigned piece of art. (Though I don’t think he got ripped off that bad since I plan to meet him for coffee sometime in the near future and write a long personal ode on the back of his frame.)

    Orange Bulldog is also available and if you would like her in a different color I might be able to oblige. Don’t get crazy on me though.

    Lastly is Pink Puppy (as pictured above). All these prints are for sale for $20 each unframed or $55 each with a matte and frame. I don’t have any pay pal buttons set up right now but just email me and I will send you a pay pal invoice. I’m sorry if you prefer to pay with cash or write a check because I’m only accepting pay pal at this time. Sign up for pay pal. It’s easy and quick and works just like real money!

    Each print is 4.5 inches square, meant to be framed in a 5×5 frame like this. I’m only offering these sizes at this time. But if you have a dying wish to buy something a different size, email me. I might be able to swing it. Or maybe not. I’m not really sure how this is all going to work yet.

    That’s all I can think of for now. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

    The Baby Bug Channel

    Channel Baby Bug

    Hi! Did you want to tune into Channel Baby Bug? Hah Hah. Well, there you go.

    pink dog, deconstructed

    Flipping over to the SUMMER IS GOING TO THE DOGS channel, I finished this pink dog! It’s called, “Pink Dog, Deconstructed” but you can call her “Armadillo Dog”, everybody else is. Or “Icky Mauve Dog” for those of you who hate mauve.

    I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of painting dogs. I finished up TWO today and am in the middle of a very very cool TOP SECRET painting that I’m not going to show you on this blog BECAUSE I WANT YOU TO COME TO THE SHOW and see if for yourself. It’s really neat with a light feature! After the show, I’ll put pictures up here but not until then.

    Oh you wanted to watch the Baby Bug Channel and you are tired of that other silly dog channel? Hmmmmf. Well. Okay. We’ll compromise. It’s Baby Bug AND Dog Prints on the BABY BUG DOG CHANNEL!

    digital test prints

    Baby Bug is helping with the framing of the dog digital prints. Notice how they are in the middle of the coffee table. That’s because when I lined them up on the floor, she thought they were blocks and promptly knocked them over and then tried to stack them. So if they have a few nicks in the frames, you can blame Baby Bug.

    It’s amazing what cheap IKEA frames can do to your art. It makes crappy ink jet print outs on cheap office paper look all puurty and stuff. These are not the final prints. I’m just trying to make up my mind what I’m going to frame… When I decide, I’ll print them on really nice archival paper and have a pro do it for me.

    The show is only eight days away. I’m SOOOOOOO excited!

    p.s. letters coming later.
