BRAND NEW PRINTS! ORDER BEFORE XMAS, AND SAVE!!

Yes, you read it right, after lots of testing and years of thinking about it.....

I have decided to produce a few prints of my work. 

Now, if these prints sell well, I will probably create a few more, but I wanted to start small.

Starting in the near future I will also be listing a few older posters/prints for sale. 

But for now, THE NEW stuff.

There are 5 prints currently for sale....I will show you the images, and then the details about them, and how to order these lovelies!!! 

So.......here they are:

"Fun",
Taken from my original painting "Summer Fun"

16" x 20". Variable Edition Print.
Retail priced at $65.00ONLY  $50.00 (if ordered BEFORE Christmas)!

"Simply Beautiful",
Taken from my original painting "Simply Beautiful"

16" x 20". Variable Edition Print.
Retail priced at $65.00ONLY  $50.00 (if ordered BEFORE Christmas)!

"City Hall",
Taken from my original painting "Laws"

16" x 20". Variable Edition Print.
Retail priced at $65.00ONLY  $50.00 (if ordered BEFORE Christmas)!

"Enjoy",
Taken from my original painting "Enjoy"

16" x 20". Variable Edition Print.
Retail priced at $65.00ONLY  $50.00 (if ordered BEFORE Christmas)!

"Friends",
Taken from my original painting "Strangers (on a Train)"

16" x 20". Variable Edition Print.
Retail priced at $65.00ONLY  $50.00 (if ordered BEFORE Christmas)!

Each print is cut to 16" x 20", (so that it can be framed/matted in large format frames). 

The actual 'live area' is about 8" x 10", so it looks swell in a smaller frame too! 

See what I mean about the scale: 

Frame them yourself and watch them bring your living room TO LIFE! 

Great in modern, country, or eclectic homes!

SO.........what else do you need to know?

-These LIMITED EDITION beauties are Variable Edition Prints (which means there may be slight differences from print to print.) 

-Each print is heat transfered onto paper by hand and hand embelished with ink.

-The paper is high qualtity, acid and chlorine free 100% cotton rag paper.

"Fun"
SHOWN HERE FRAMED UP!!!

YES! If you order from me, and pick up in person, I can frame your print in a 17" x 21" black frame. 

There is an extra charge of $50.00 for this!

Please note that framed prints are NOT available through Etsy (due to the high costs of shipping)

Ok....so speaking of ordering.......You have a few ORDERING OPTIONS:

1.) Order through me. SEND me an email with your order and your print (framed or not) will be made available for pick-up at the studio at 756 Queen St E. (unless special arrangements are made).

This process saves you the waiting and the pesky S&H. Payment is due upon pick up. Rob takes Cash, Cheque, Mastercard, VISA and American Express!

OR

2.) Order through ETSY - and your unframed work will be mailed to you. S&H charges apply, and there is a wait time for this processing/mailing time. Remember to use COUPON CODE 'Xmas2' to get your discount!

................BONUS WAY TO BUY THREE OF THESE NEW PRINTS.......................

NEW SHOW AND HOUSEKEEPING......

SO? How you been?
Me? I have been busy doing lots of non-art career stuff.
For example, I was busy decorating my house for The 'Ween:

(Which I realize is slightly insane.)

(Yes, it did put my neighbours houses to shame - and NO,  that was NOT the point!!)

I have also been busy doing this little job for my friend Cindy.
(Check out Cindy's website for lots of great work)
It was a simple little faux job for some LOVELY people!!!

It is a lovely harlequin pattern!!!

It was a nice dining room!!!

But this week I hope to get back to the drawing board.
(Or the easel - as the case may be)
I have a little show coming up in December, and I wanted to give you a heads up on it too:

I will have more information in a few weeks on this show!!!
Ok....so that is it for housekeeping for now.....
Have a great week y'all!!!
