Introducing Vinyl Stickers to Our Shop!

Happy Friday! Before you check out for the weekend, check out our new line of vinyl stickers we introduced this week!

Stickers vary in size, but each one is hand cut in the studio and covered in a waterproof, glossy topcoat to protect it from damage.

The sticker section in our shop is "while supplies last". We produce them in short runs and plan on switching them out often. If you see something you like, it may be gone tomorrow!

And if you have an idea, we're all ears.

Here Comes the New!

We're working up some new ideas. I'll be back with an announcement and some free stuff soon!

This cherry pie is a miracle

Nothing as it seems

The owls aren't, well, you know...

I'm putting pen to paper this week to come up with some new work for the holidays.

You can ask it now...

Brutal week. So close to shooting the new Twin Peaks season and Catherine Coulson passes.

Giving Up the Sharpie

“What pens do you use for your ink drawings?”

I’m not going to knock artists who don’t use “professional” tools to create art. If creating art with crayons or ketchup or pig’s blood gives you what you need, then so be it. However, it’s NOT okay to make excuses for your work based on your lack of knowledge of the options you have. I know this, because I did it for years.

“That’s how I intended it to look.”

“I think it adds to the effect.”

For me, that attitude was rooted in complacency. I spent years blocking in ink drawings with Sharpie pens because they were cheap, and I was used to them. It wasn’t until long after I started getting paid on art jobs that I began to upgrade my rig.

I went through many brands of pens before I settled on Pigma Microns. It’s a matter of personal preference, but take the time and minimal expense to experiment with different brands before you make your final selection. I prefer the Microns because they offer a great variety of pen sizes, and the ink is consistent throughout a whole piece.

You're an artist. Experiment for Christ's sake!

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee."

When we're in Arkansas, our present is this place. One hot chocolate, one coffee and an hour of rolling hills on the way home.
