Hey there everybody! Throughout the summer I’ll be auctioning off a series of original Artist Trading Cards. Each piece is one of a kind and created on a pocket-sized piece of Ampersand encausticbord. These wee paintings and illustrations are a great way to start building your art collection, or expand the one you have!

Round One available here until 05.21.2013.

I only feed my dog the finest of ground up mythical creatures. For him, it’s 100% grade A Unicorn meat or nothing. Unfortunately, this generally leads to massive bouts of rainbow-squirts.
