Phil and I were thinking of making an illustrated book-a-lette...his poetry and my art. Phil used to co-run a small publishing company, so he's thinking on all the details and how to make this a reality. I'm busy working on the daydreaming and scheming and doodily bits. I'd like to be able to sell these bookalettes on our Etsy site eventually....and then be contacted by a major publishing company and have our little project in bookstores all over the world! MUAHAAHAHAHA!!


...I told you I was working on the daydreaming bits.

It's SNOWING

Nothing but big, super-fluffy snowflakes outside. Kind of makes me want to spend all day curled up on the couch, playing with the ratties and drinking hot chocolate.
So...in an attempt to be productive, I'm going to put up a few new prints. That's work, right?

Front Page News

I have certain goals for my art, here are some of them (this is Colleen speaking, test test):

One, to get on the front page of Etsy.
Two, be shown in galleries.
Three, be published in books. Preferably art history ones. ;)
Four, be mentioned in Antiques Roadshow. (sadly, I'll never really know if or when this happens)

Number one and two have been taken care of already....I think I need to come up with some more goals now!

Oh yes, we were on the front page of Etsy! But not for long, as "Sorry, it had to happen sometime" was bought just moments after I was told about the front-pageyness.
Here's a clicky-link to our Flickr page: screencap, ahoy!

Craft Chemistry

Syracuse has a new art gallery/store/hangout: Craft Chemistry(clicky link). Aaaaaand...we're in it!



Last night we went to their grand opening and had a lovely time. (and champagne and cake and popcorn..YUM)



If you live in Syracuse, or just ever happen to be there, go check us and all of the other wonderful artists out!

Look! I painted a bunny!

And yet...it's still kind of gloomy.

I'm quite proud of that fact.

Things are Working!

Yesterday our computer gave us a nice surprise by deciding it would communicate with the scanner. Isn't it nice when we all get along?

I'm not sure if it's because of this or that I'm still slightly delirious from being sick, but I've been making LOTS of new prints for the store. Three went up yesterday, two today, and I've also put up a new painting and a new monster.

It's time for a nap now, right?

Eggiwegs!!

Phil has been trying to learn all sorts of new ways to cook eggs; most recently--Poached Eggs! I am hoping he tries that new recipie with artichoke and saucy sauce and poached egg....

More Eggs!
