Here's the half of the completed headboard commission, that is being combined with three existing letters, hopefully I'll get a photo to show you how the whole thing turned out.

At the top, these are from The Winsor Series and they are hanging at Mitzi's Sister (1554 Queen West) until January, they are on SALE for $40.00 each, head on in Kids eat free or half price on Wednesdays, double check with the server, but they used to do that, anyways, go there, big SALE of my stuff, you can link to my main blog and see it in advance.I is for IOTA and S is for Sasquatch, here are the final two of the six letters I'd talked about earlier, scroll on down for a look at the rest. The Iota is from Dr.Seuss's "If I Ran the Zoo", there is only a shot of his head in the book so I made up the body following Seussian principles of design and of course the Sasquatch is having a great time playing in the woods with the birds, loved painting this guy.
As always letters are 12 x 12 inches, acrylic on canvas, $60.00 each/ 3 for $150.00 I'll be in Toronto until the 23rd so I think today is the last day that I could possibly take any orders.
hope all is well, have a great holiday

This is the first of three pieces that are being combined with alphabet shoppe letters to make the head board for a child's bed. When assembled it will be 3 panels long, or 3 feet. by 2 ft. I think this is a fantastic idea for a kid's room. I figure if you just took some smaller blocks of wood, cut to the inside measurement of the 12 x 12 kids letter it would be sufficiently reinforced that it wouldn't rip if hit or kicked, I mean come on, we all like to jump on our bed. I'll have the other two pieces posted next week. I'm pretty sure they're going to be a dog chasing a race car and a cat in a dumptruck, but I'm still mulling it over.If you are interested in ordering letters for Christmas gifts, now is the time to do it.
have a great weekend, I'm going to go see "Marwencol"

A is for Art or Alice or Andrew or Arthur etc.12 x 12 inches, acrylic on canvas, letters are $60.00 each/ 3 for $150.00
This has been pretty much all I've managed to paint since about Thursday when I tore my arm out of it's socket while I was asleep, it's been a painful few days. Please be sure to come back next week, I'll have at least six more new letters and commissions to show you. Just a reminder that Christmas is around the corner, well, it's around the corner if you are ordering anything from me.
all the best,

Well, that's a big ol' A is for Airplane, followed by S is for Sasquatch, A is for Abominable Snowman, H is for Hippocampus and M is for Mermaid. as always letters are 12 x 12 inches, acrylic on canvas, $60.00 ea. and three for $150.00. With the above four I decided to mesh the Winsor Series, lack of border and strong blue/black outline with the standard letter size and colour, I think it turned out well, there are two more that go with this set and I'll have them finished soon.
all the best,

Wow, people are going crazy for the Winsor series, here is S is for Swan Rider and O is for Owl Rider, with a girl riding the Owl this time, yes this is entirely possible, all you have to do is ask. Very busy down at the Cameron House with my show, "Come On Pilgrim" you can read about it at the other blog, "the mad craft shoppe",see links over on the right hand side.
This is a very busy month, so get in touch with me now for orders for letters or appointments to meet at the Cameron House, which I do once a week. This week it's Thursday from 5-7 pm.
cheers,

The Winsor series, each letter is 12 x 12 inches, acrylic on canvas $60.00 ea / 3 @ $150.00
I was feeling pretty exhausted at the end of last month and took some time to just relax in bed and do some new styles for the alphabet shoppe, I think that people are used to the "Classic" look of the alphabet block and I think doing something different would be fun. One of the world's greatest illustrators in a man named Winsor McCay, (you can wiki him yourself ) and these letters are a tribute to his fine sense of line and style.
We're going to be up to our eyeballs in new work over at "the mad craft shoppe", I hang my next show of paintings at the Cameron House on May 2nd, (the Opening Reception may be that day also, stay tuned) and have at least a dozen pieces to finish in the next three weeks so I will be unable to finish the whole alphabet this month, look for that sometime in May, but the above should give you an idea of the styles.
all the best,

Style Happy Robots, 12 x 12 inches, acrylic on canvas
$60 each, 3 @ $150.00
Portrait 20 x 20 inches, acrylic on canvas
I hadn't done a portrait in quite awhile, I don't often advertise that I do them, usually the images I am sent are of children staring at a camera, engaged by the lens and not by the world around them. I was able to over a dozens photos of a day at the beach that these two children had and could assemble a composition that I liked and also showed the children's personalities. This wasn't the finished painting, I neglected to take a photo of it, but was very happy with the result.
