happy arty stuff.
Thanks you guys for the really really nice comments about my podcast-it was fun doing it, but sort of nerve wracking knowing it is going to be out there. . .
A super genius friend of mine directed me to these giclee prints done by the uber-talented Jen Corace. There are 3 of them and they are available at Art Star as a limited edition, so I moved fast. Some of the original paintings from this series are here at motel. . 
I freaked out about these (a huge understatement) and got all 3. I missed the Tiny Showcase Jen Corace print this last time do to an family emergency (literally, an emergency room style emergency) so this more than makes up for that.
Art Star has other lovely prints by several other artists. This whole giclee print thing is so cool. The prints are beautiful and so very affordable, I just love them.
**updated- don't forget your tie one on apron for june/july! You have until Tuesday-the perfect weekend project!
Wow-I love these- so simple, but so cute!! Sorry I missed the podcast. I'm sure it was a smashing success!

Oh! She's one of my favorite illustrators! I adore her. Adore. It takes so much willpower to not exactly copy her style. And I've been waiting months to find one of her prints for sale, so thanks thanks thanks!

Yikes, maybe I lack vision. The first print really creeps me out. I'm not sure I can look at the things growing out of her legs.....
Otherwise, I do simply adore your site and keep coming back for more.

thanks for posting--i'm always dismayed to see the words "sold out" under her prints on the tiny showcase website.

can I just tell you how much I enjoyed your podcast? So so much!!! I listen to it today while working ninja-style on a new handbag. Loved it - your interview, that is. Bag.....not quite sure.

Her work is just beautiful. I'm forever getting "sold out" at the tiny showcase. I think you have to stay up all night to get in there...and NOT have E.R. trips, of course. Glad you got your lovelies!

I absolutely love her work. I have been debating on doing mini prints of some of my work. I do agree it makes it so affordable for people to own your work. The debate I have is the expense of a trip to the post office for such little income is so exhausting. I am trying to hold off until my sales are more constant so it wouldn't require a special trip. I absolutely adore the vintage feel of those two pics though! The little girl in the tree is definately one I will have to get a copy of.
