Hark Ye All, My other blog is....

Hark Ye All, this blog is abandoned (for now), 

Currently, I do all my blogging at Kaslkaos Drawbridge--An Artist's Journal. It's where I chat about Life, The Universe and Everything, and share works in progress, projects, and well, stuff that happens in my life.  I would absolutely love to chat with you there.

If it's art you after, you'll find much of it available on Etsy.

Fine Art Portfolio

Figure Drawing Nudes

And 'gift art'/popular art divvied up in handy categories, like cats and mermaids and stuff like that, because I get it, we all love to look at insightful intriguing art that stirs the soul, but what actually goes up on the wall is something a little easier on the eyeballs.

Cats, Pets, Dogs

Mermaids, Myth, Fantasy

Or just plunge right into Kaslkaos Art & Design for the whole enchilada of what I have.

Commissioned Animal Portraits, Dog Portraits

Commissioned Portraits in Watercolour, Charcoal, and other media welcomed.

Please see my Etsy Store for more info.

ACEO's Artist Cards Editions and Originals

Artists Trading Cards are small 2.5" x 3.5" collectible cards. While the tradition began as artist to artist trades, they also became items available for sale. To appease the purists, those presented for sale are now referred to as ACEO's (Artist Cards Editions and Originals).

Given their small size, ACEO's are a great way for any artist to experiment with themes, techniques and composition. Those that are successful (and I am willing to part with) I put up for sale. Some of them will be here as direct sales, and others will be available at ETSY. This is a site created exclusively to sell handmade items and is well organized and user friendly for both buyers and sellers. I have many items for sale that are not shown here, including a large selection of ACEO's (collectable art cards). My ACEO's are 2.5" x 3.5" original paintings or hand-pulled prints; an affordable way to collect original works of art.

You can peruse the latest selection at my Kaslkaos Art & Design Etsy Shop.

If you see anything here that is no longer available at Etsy, please or send an email and I'll see what I can do for you.

You can also click on the ACEO label to search this site.
