Had a couple of fun days at the Market Days event. It was the first time I’ve taken my crazy board people art out on the road. The response I got was great and I’m ready to get back to work in my studio to replenish my inventory. My first commitment is to finish a custom jacket order though, then I can switch gears.

This portrait was commissioned as a surprise birthday gift for Carys Louise, whose cute little dog is also named Louise.

I’ve been painting birthday presents

It’s something new that I’m doing to break the “spell”. Mixed media assemblage art with a story. Old boards, all kinds of recycled materials (and some oil paint sticks that I found hiding in my studio) got me out of the uninspired mode I was in.

Their expressions are all unique and their “stories” (quotes that I find while looking for inspiration) are hand-hammered into the wood and painted.

You can find the details in my new etsy shop: boardtalkstudio@etsy.com
