Would anyone here be interested in buying this as a T-shirt? I've been told here and a couple other places that this is a nifty T-shirt design... [ Edited by: Sneakytiki 2008-05-30 03:49 ] [ Edited by: Sneakytiki 2008-05-30 04:00 ] |

I'd buy the t-shirt if it's a black one and the graphic isn't tiny like you normally get, but that's me. I really like that design, wife had soft spot for baby elks. Thanks for having stuff besides art, I like seeing the "what I've been up to pics," studio pics, etc. |

LLT, Thanks Ken! I've been putting in bamboo floors in the house and a zillion other things and slacking on the arrrrt. But I have still tried to keep it real (weird) dawg!
Robb, Here is a shot of my soccer girl Sage in front of some of my recent "paintings in progress" the paint stained carpet in this pic is now bamboo flooring. [ Edited by: Sneakytiki 2008-07-16 13:46 ] |

Cool and freaky. Way outside the box. It must have been amazing to come across the baby elk. I'd be worried about mom though. I've come across baby moose before and mom is never far and always angry. I was on a harcore morel quest a couple of years ago and found not one. Nice score. I found this in my backyard though. |

Screen printing collaboration with friends, acrylic, screen-print on plywood. Oil and acrylic painting on plywood. Acrylic, collage on canvas. 3' by 3'. I must say oil is still way easier for me than acrylic, but as this canv-ass illustrates, I keep trying... Also visible in the pix are the bamboo floors we laid in about 1000 sqr ft of house. They look good with MCM, they are enviro-friendly, and lastly they are kinda tiki. I have been reading Henry Miller "Tropic of Capricorn" and "Tropic of Cancer", oiling my shake roof, landscaping, and house fixer' up jobs. I am ready to slang sum paint, uh yuh!

A FLAT MATTE GLOSS VARNISH WOULD BE PERFECT! actually a satin finish or matte would be good |

LLT, Thanks to you Sir, perhaps I shall proceed with the satin finish since I was having trouble deciding on matte or gloss. I have been working on more paintings and listening to The Foals "Antidote" while breathing fumes... New painting: BAM |

LLT, The unprimed wood is a HUGE pain!!!! I gloss over it with matte medium and this acts as a seal to keep the "soak up" effect from happening. Thx for the comp. I are am werkin' a bit more on this one. |

Mango, The last couple of paintings are on appox. 3/4" thick plywood 2' by 2' sqr's frome Home Despot. I seal them with matte medium before applying paint to save on paint soak up/repainting. I hope that answers your question. No they are not sign quality or anything. Thank you for commenting and for the kind werds! ST |
