I finally got finished with the first art print of the year! Blast off is based on some match box graphics from the cold war space race era. I used a muted colors resembling vaguely the look used in a Hanna-Barbera cartoon from the 60’s. Enjoy.
On Sunday I tired to finished up a three color print do I could get it online today but I could only get 2 colors printed. Our son is heavy into teething and I had to sneak away while he was sleeping, which wasn’t very long. Hopefully tonight I can finish that one up. I have one more for mariostash.com ready to go also, which will be two colors.
A lot of people asked me at Craftstravaganza how they could get my prints framed. Most printmakers I know grab what ever paper size is available and go with it, which tend not to be standard sizes (8×10”, 5×7”, etc.). I have standardized all my prints to 12×18”, and I recommend using American Frame to get them framed. Any of my prints framed with their black “techline” frames would run about $50 with mat and glass (plexiglass). The frames come unassembled and take about 15 minutes to put together. They are who we use to frame all the art in my house.

We had a good, all-be-it cold, weekend at Craftstravaganza this weekend. My wife is an awesome sales woman at these shows, which is a big help. We each had to got out to the van and warm up our feet at least once, the building we were in was not insulated or heated and it was around 40 degrees all day. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and helped make the drive worth while!
