Soon to be Mr & Mrs

Lindsey and Brad are great people. Two great people that are getting married on Saturday!

I flew into Huntington Beach in 2005 around this time of year, and my friends were picking me up from the John Wayne Airport...and Brad. Brad is probably one of the nicest people i know, a real gem of a guy. Everyone loves Brad.

I think Lindsey loves him the most though. Lindsey wrote this on her blog last week (hope you dont mind me sharing Lindsey, its just so cute):

"if you have lived in a cave, or never met brad, you are the few who don't know he LOVES the oakland a's.

once i really felt like i wanted to do something for brad. just to show i loved him & make him happy & thought & thought (the man wants very little & asks for even less so i wanted to think of something besides making pizza- which is always a winner, btw)

so i bought an oakland a's hat.
i met him for lunch at roscoe's and when i sat down at the table, hat upon head, he looked at me like he NEVER HAD before. he was SOOOO happy! and just was so surprised!!
all i could think was "geez this man is easy to please."

So its only fitting that i paint them in their hats.


Congratulations guys! Can't wait to party with you both on Saturday....

Painting Giveaway

this is Nat's painting hanging on her wall in her fancy NY apartment.
(that makes me sound like a hillbilly that's in awe of her apartment...well i am, minus the hillbilly)

My friend Natalie is hosting a giveaway on her ultra famous blog.
Go on over and enter to win a 17x17 painting.
ITS FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!
and then hurry and go to her sister Nicole's blog to win a 2k dollar necklace. Seriously, you could walk away from that one with some major bling. Way better than my silly paintings.

Meadowland Pottery

I dont usually do this...but i just have to publicly tell all of you that you need to buy my friend Ashlee's stuff. ALL OF IT.

Ashlee was my roommate in the scary attic on 5th north, and is extremely talented. Shes not only an amazing artist, but shes also a great dancer (side note).

Anyway she has this etsy shop - MEADOWLAND POTTERY and its all ridiculous inexpensive (seriously ash, dont be so cheap!) and adorable.

here are my faves....she does these in polka dots too and custom colors....and under 40 bucks! seriously its way cuter than anthro and its handmade and its BEAUTIFUL.this casserole dish makes me crazy. I love anything monogrammed.

Come on people...order! Christmas is just around the corner.....

I love my repeat customers...

Just got this email last night from a client who i did some paintings for last year....

Hey,
You might not remember me but I bought some 18x18 paintings from you
last Christmas for my husband. We LOVE THEM and so does everyone that comes to our home! Since then we've had another baby. I thought it would be cool if i got one done of her this year. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks, Kara

Are you folks crazy? Of course i remember you! I love these emails and i love the pictures that accompany of them of my paintings in your homes.

If you've gotten a painting from me before, and would like another...let me know, and we'll work out some sort of repeat customer deal.

Holiday Sale

Its that time again. Last December I was insanely busy and so if history repeats itself, I may have quite the workload coming up (which would be GREAT!).

To kick it off, I thought, hmm...why not have a SALE! Everyone loves a sale. Am i right or am i right?

This week only, buy one painting....get one free. FREE people.

So this is the deal, any painting purchased at the size 16x20, 17x17, 18x24 or 24x24, you get a 10x10 absolutely free. That's a 115 dollar free gift.

sale ends Saturday.
email me for pricing and orders.
