My Heart Bleeds
Friday, April 23rd, 2010
This rather morbid watercolor was one of my unValentines this year, a cross between a tradition and realistic heart. The blood red paint dried in thick pools and was allowed to drip naturally, nearly to the bottom of the card — in its frame, the chrome picks up the reflection as it disappears at the bottom edge. Blue veins call to mind a real heart as they trace across the surface.
The frame and shipping are both free, and starting today I’m donating 10% of all art and Etsy sales to charity, so your money will go to support the arts and another good cause. I’ll be changing the charity regularly, but I’ve decided to start out with Kiva for April and May.
My Heart Bleeds, watercolor on watercolor postcard, 4″x6″, $69 with free shipping. 10% of your money will go to charity, check out the sidebar to see who I’m donating to this month!

My Funny Valentines – Unique Cards
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
I’m not a huge fan of all the hype surrounding Valentine’s Day. That said, I’ve always really liked the sentiment behind it. The idea of really appreciating the people that you love is a wonderful one, and a worthwhile effort. Also, it gives me the chance to design cards! This year I’ve designed four cards for four types of people: the art lover, the busy person, the geek, and the goth.
I get inspiration for these cards from the strangest places sometimes. The “Busy Valentine” card is based on a sticky note that went through the wash, an image that stayed with me even though the writing faded. The unValentine hearkens back to my old days of black lace and silver skulls. All of the cards represent a unique perspective on the holiday. Each card is blank on the inside, so you can write the perfect message for that person that you love.
Valentines, printed on watercolor cards, 5″x7″, $5 each with free shipping. 10% of your money will go to charity, check out the sidebar to see who I’m donating to this month!
