I painted this to express my feelings about ICE and show the parallels to…well, it’s obvious, right?

I made a bunch of hand painted stickers to offer low priced items alongside my larger art at a craft fair last weekend. The show had low-ish traffic, and they didn’t do well, so I stuck them all together for this 20x24 inch piece. I like it. I might be the only one that does though!

Looking for pricing advice for this 16x20 inch acrylic on canvas painting I completed last week. It took about 20-24 hours. Is $450 delusional? I’ve never really parted with large originals. Feels like putting a pet up for sale.

She’s getting there! What do we think? Keep her black and white? Or add the neon green lighting for as originally planned?

Just some stupid art from one of the best movies ever made.

Been building up inventory of small paintings for a vendor event at the end of the month. Offering these little originals for folks who can’t spend on the big ones. It’s still nice to have a little bit of art. Especially silly little things like this.

Thrifted a $3 frame with a picture of Jesus and recycled it with some neon acrylic from Culture Hustle and Liquitex. Blacklight reactive! Magnetic backing and traditional wire for hanging options. I currently have it displayed on my front door. #artsky #neonart #blacklight #alternativedecor
