because life is nothing without beauty
I almost forgot (almost, but not quite) that I said I would list the prints I bought as they came in. It took a little while but they're all here, and they're all so pretty.
Yesterday, I received my prints from Tiny Showcase. They were packaged very nicely and the prints are great quality-wise (and of course, prettiness-wise as well), PLUS there was a cute little note and sketch about my town's name on the invoice, and I'm a whore for personalized notes on invoices. The two prints I've purchased from them so far are these: "El Sismo" by Howell Golson and "the lakefront" by Susie Ghahremani (of boygirlparty.com). I say "so far" because if it's still there Saturday, I'm planning on getting "untitled" by Jen Corace as well! I'm big on mama/baby imagery right now and . . . elephants! and . . . Jen Corace! So many good things. Anyway, I really love Tiny Showcase.
And Tuesday I found a print from Stella at momomoogie.com in my mailbox! I can't direct-link it, but if you go into her "work" section and pull up artwork #11, that's the one I picked. It's "i'll keep you warm..." and it's so pretty, it's even prettier in real life (maybe because now it's mine all mine?). It was so hard to pick just one piece, but "i'll keep you warm..." was the first piece of her art I ever saw (on copacetique.com) and I loved it so much I couldn't help but pick it in the end. But Stella will send you a print of pretty much any of her artwork, just e-mail her and she will give you the purchasing details (she's so nice, too!). Plus her patches are great!
Those two were my favorite arty purchases to date, mostly because of the super-niceness of the senders. I've received a few others, too, that are also fantastic, but I'll have to wait to list them later because Rabbit just finished her spaghetti and the only thing that will get THAT nuclear mess off is a bath.
