Texas Button and Sticker Packs
I have been a huge fan of Sam Larson of Steel Bison for a while now. When he came out with a Texas inspired button pack I knew I needed to get those in my Tumbleweed TexStyles shop. Make sure and check out Sam's awesome artwork in his shop. Follow him on Instagram and Tumblr too. If you love the West. This is your guy.

Moth Painting - The Arrangement Advertisement Inspiration
The finished product in the $5 estate sale find frame
The inspiration ad
The drawing
Adding paint
Adding details
So my wife sees an ad for The Arrangement in a magazine and rips it out and says, "hey, can you paint this moth for me?" Eh, maybe. Then she scores a frame with an ugly landscape painting on it for $5. It is a great frame and 4' x 2'. Then I get the question again....."Hey, now that I found a frame, can you paint it?" Thanksgiving break rolls around and I get the pressure put on so I cave in and paint the moth. It actually turned out pretty good. Now we just have to find a place to hang it up. Our house is filled with original art from friends and local artisans.

T. Scott Stromberg's "Sangre de Christo" now hangs in my house!
A few weeks ago Frisco had the ArtSeen tour around town. It is basically a couple of days where artists open up their studios and show off works in progress and an inside look at their work spaces. Some of the highlights were Misty Oliver-Foster's studio. She is a good friend and one of my favorite local artists. She has a really cool converted garage studio. I was also able to pick up a new piece of artwork for our home from another friend, T. Scott Stromberg. It is titled "Sangre de Christo" It has a cool New Mexico vibe! We love it!

The Daytripper's Vaya Con Dios Coffee Mug
Vaya Con Dios
Above is a little design work that I did for Chet Garner - AKA "The Daytripper" back in June. He told me it was for a coffee mug and I never really got to see a mock-up or knew what colors Chet would use. Today Chet posted these bad boys in his web store. You can order one right here. A coffee mug is a new one for me.....but I sure am digging how it turned out!

New Shop!
Well folks it was a nice run, but it looks like I will be moving away from selling my photos and art on Etsy. It's a long story that I may share with you at some point. In the meantime, check out my new shop right here! I have listed a few of my Holga prints on there to start. I will add more items in the coming weeks. I'm excited about this new platform and hopefully it will be a smooth transition. I decided to go with Big Cartel for my shop host. So far it seems pretty easy to manage. Add it to your favorites, tell your friends, and let me know your thoughts.

Small Watercolors
Here are a few of the small ink drawings that I watercolored. These are really fun to do and don't take too long to complete. I'll do a few more and see if it can hold my interest.

Texas Themed Illustrations
Ink Drawings
Small sample I did yesterday "Queso!"
I'm about to start a series of some Texas themed illustrations. These are in the beginning stages and only 4 x 6. I'm using these as my practice ones. I used a Copic pen on watercolor paper. I still need to add lettering / text and watercolors of course. If they turn out cool, I may throw some up on Etsy as postcards and prints. I'll update everyone on the progress in the next few days.
