Exciting News!

You can now buy my paintings on all kinds of things!

See, here's the problem: my original paintings are expensive. They've got to be--some of them take over a month to create. I can't afford them, either! But this year I've had reasonably good luck selling them on Imagekind as prints in a variety of formats and sizes. However, even those can be a little pricey when you factor in a mat and a frame, and maybe you want something more functional...? That's the vibe I'm getting from you, anyway.

So last week I put together a store on CafePress. They reproduce my watercolors on fun and useful items hand-picked by me from their massive selection of over 250 products. There's something for everyone, with a variety items for sale for under $20, including gorgeous mirror compacts that are already my best sellers.

And that bag is more expensive, but it makes me want to die it's so cute.

T-shirts are available for people of all ages, shapes, and sizes, and they come in a range of colors. Making this happen took a whole day. It was hard, you guys!

I've also got a slew of greeting cards, note cards, and blank journals, including Abandoned Knowledge, above.

And come on: you need at least one calendar. We all do. I agonize over that decision every year. I'm so happy to finally present my first-ever calendars featuring my own paintings: normal-sized, oversized, vertical, and single image.

Get in on this and help support your friendly neighborhood artist/blogger/butter-consumption-enabler! And I know, CafePress is kind of a behemoth that's probably only marginally less evil than Walmart, and I'm certainly not going to make a fortune here, but maybe it will help me buy Bun's medicine every month...?

She's such a good girl!

Thanks in advance--I can't tell you how much your support means to this little painting operation I've got going.

And for the half-dozen of you who read my blog because I'm the nutjob who paints U2 all the time for @U2.com, I have fun news for you, uh, too.

For the first time ever, 37 of my best U2 paintings are available as prints on Imagekind! Click this thing!

I sifted through my heaving U2 digital folders today and put together a selection of images that includes personal favorites such as the always-game Pop Edge, Adam and Bono painted on blue construction paper, and a citrus-y Screaming Green Bono. Because most of my originals were only 5-10 inches tall, lot of these prints are small, but you'll see a handful that can be majorly enlarged.

You'll also find pretentious concept art inspired by their videos, U2 reimagined as punk rockers on the planet Venus, and my controversial portrait of Adam Clayton made from pasta and birdseed. You can also buy prints of the following, which I think is probably my favorite U2 painting ever.

You'll see all of those along with more straightforward and normal-seeming pictures of this promising little rock 'n' roll outfit from across the sea here. URL is:

Thanks so much, and please share this post with anyone you think might be interested!

I'm glad you finally have the U2 art available as prints! I have adored the Screaming Green Bono for years. Now I can have my very own print!
