Wear Some Art On Your Feet

I admit that I am down right excited about Zazzle’s shoes. Being able to put my art on feet is about the coolest thing ever. I can never find shoes that I like anymore.
They don’t seem to carry any basics at the stores anymore, except white. And honestly plain white stands out a bit stark when my clothes are either black or bright colors. I have always loved Keds, and even used to buy white ones in high school and college and paint them with bright colors. Now, I can buy them with my art already on them. Makes it so much easier.

As you can see, I am making some things a nice black and white design so that they will go with everything, and others I am leaving full color for a splash of fun for the feet.

If there is something specific that you would like to see on a shoe, please let me know and I will get right to work on it. Designing shoes has been the most fun I have had in a long time. Now Zazzle needs to offer matching canvas purses and I will be a very happy person……

Did I ever tell you all that back in junior high and early high school I thought I wanted to be a fashion designer? This is so much better - NO SEWING!

The MAC

Last night was a nice night out. James and I went to the McKinny Avenue Contemporary for the opening of the new show. Afterwards we got a chance to hang out with one of the artists at the Comsic Cafe for a nice dinner and conversation. Overall a really nice evening. Something I hope we can do again. I get the list of art opening each week, and I really need to go to more of them.

The art posting today, you might notice, is not mine, but that of Kimberly Bradshaw. It is her Mixed Media Work - You Are What You Eat, that she did for the MAC show that we went to last night. Click on the photo to go to her blog. She is a neat person and a long time friend of James’s. Her work is nifty too.

Edison - What a Shocker!

10×10″ Acrylic on Canvas
By Request

This little fellow has a bad habit of chewing on wires. Due to his shocking curiosity he was named Edison. We are hoping that he is trying to invent something like a personal shock therapy device and not just trying to get himself killed or practicing for industrial espionage.

This is another one of those paintings I have found in my studio while organizing that I have discovered was never documented and therefore never offered for sale before.
She is on etsy and cafepress now.

And for those that have an etsy shop, please feel free to post them here in the comments section of this blog post. I would love to see what else those in the etsy community are doing.

Summer Hair

9×11.5″ Acrylic on Canvas Paper

I have been working on organizing the studio…Again. I swear it needs it ever other month. While doing so, I came across a portfolio filled with some work that it seems that I haven’t even scanned or offered for sale before. So now I am working on scanning them, and posting them on etsy and cafepress.

This one is Summer Hair. She is now available in my etsy shop and my cafepress store.
