Thank you so much to those who supported my earlier Art-Not-Cancer sale in August. Now as I sweep aside the cancer adventures of 2011 and face the brave new world of 2012, I’ve made a new art space and finally I will have a ‘real’ art studio with space, light, storage – awesome. No more stacking up the walls in a room too small to get as crazy as required to get really experimental with art. To celebrate I’m having a December 2011 Christmas Art Sale. All paintings and sculptures will be 30% off the listed price. You can visit my online gallery to view the available paintings here. If you find a work you like, take 30% off the listed price. That would be the price, plus postage and packing (which varies from $10 upwards depending on the size of the work). You then email me and I’ll tell you the postage cost for what you’re interested in and if you’re still happy, I invoice you via PayPal for the art work you are interested in. You pay for the art work and it would be with you within 7-10 days (hopefully not delayed by Christmas post). I’ll even include 10 free art cards. Read the rest of this entry »
