*Furniture For Sale*

Since I'm poor I'm selling a bunch of my stuff to raise funds for art supplies and also trying to make room for my new fancy acetic lifestyle. So check out my listings on Craigslist if only for the humorous copy ala this dude who was the inspiration for my cavalier attitude, besides that I know I have really nice furniture that pretty much sells itself.

(Come on CL sellers let's spice things up a little bit if you're going to sell that worn out 80's kitchen dinette with chrome details at least entertain your readers.)

Here are the links and also a guide in case you aren't sure if you could use any of my awesome stuff:

If your floor and feet are cold you need a: RUG

If you're standing a lot you probably need: BAR STOOLS

If you're cutting carrots on a cutting board across the sink you probably need a: KITCHEN CART
If all your books, movies and 8-tracks are still in boxes you probably need: BOOKCASES

Reliquaries & Keepsakes

I've always been really taken with religious artwork from The Reformation and Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries but since I watched all of The Tudors on Netflix a few weeks ago it kind of kicked off a new level of obsession.  Which then turned into a bit of Jane Austen obsession as well, (two words: Mr. Darcy) damn you Netflix suggestions.  So, when I wanted to make a keepsake for  my wonderful man, Mark, who has flown south to Florida for the winter I painted a small self-portrait housed in a tiny reliquary so he doesn't forget the face of his true lady love. The little guy stands on it's own and also can be fastened shut with the twine and button.

7 3/4"x5", bookboard, book cloth, hand printed Japanese paper, oil on canvas, twine, found button

 Inspired by this marriage of my two loves; bookmaking and fine art painting. I have dived into a production of a lot more of these with various internal images. Here is a sneak peek of my desk as I'm working on the first set of four!

Until next time friends, namaste!
