LIVE LAUGH LOVE

Ana Pier, one of my very loyal customers from when i first opened, brought this in with her sister to have painted. it was originally a painting of flowers from kirklands or pier one, and she really liked the canvas mounted to a wooden border but not the picture itself. so i gave the canvas an overhaul and this is what we came up with. the browns and turquoise match her house at OU. i would love a picture of it hanging in her living room!!!

SORORITY PADDLE

this is one of the more exciting paddles i've ever painted!! a customer brought it in from out of town to have painted for her little. i hope she just LOVED it!

SXSW

if you'll be in austin this week, you should really REALLY check out these shows. plus, if you show up early tyler's giving away free sampler CDs to the first 50 guests at each day.

AUSTIN ART. BIZ!

it is SXSW here in austin this week and thursday through sunday aaron and i are working at a booth to sell music garb. primarily the tshirts and prints we have left over from his mural. it was this time last year that his South Austin Music mural, featuring 30 local musicians, was dedicated. remember how much fun it was?? i am planning to recreate the same amount of fun at this event. this is one side of a flyer we're passing out to promote Austin Art Biz. check out the text around "people are talking about". i couldn't believe it worked out so perfectly. but i really love this little detail. and if you haven't tried it yet, i encourage everyone to try making a ransom-note-inspired piece of art. it is SO MUCH FUN!!!

HAPPY BELATED VDAY

i wish i would have thought to make this little card a month ago for valentine's day, but giving it to aaron on a random day in march will just have to do. i do wonder though if making cute little cards like this would sell at harts n crafts. what do you think? of course it wouldn't say "ren is brilliant" because then i think maybe only stimpy would buy one. tee he he.
