Big update today!

Firstly – we still have some of the free 20th Anniversary pins for the Strangeling.com giveaway!  We’ve already given out nearly half of them, so the sooner you can get an order in – the better (they will probably not last for the full month unfortunately, they are going fast!).  We are including a free “Time Flies” pin in each order over $25 placed at Strangeling.com for the month of July (or while supplies last, I made about 200 of the pins).

Next up – we are currently on our West Coast summer tour!  TONIGHT (July 8)  I will be in Seattle for my appearance at the Insectarium group show at Eight and Sand Gallery (part of Georgetown’s Art Atttack art walk) – details are here – I’ll be there from 6-9pm tonight (Saturday) in person, details are here.  I have new original paintings (four full sized, two Tiny Treasures), prints and canvases there and I’m happy to autograph anything from the show or what you bring with you from home.

July 13, 14 & 15th I will be in Anaheim, California for Disney’s D23 Expo, debuting my new “Princess Aurora” painting for Disney!  Details about the specific signing/autograph events & painting debut are here.

The evening of July 15 in Los Angeles, I have a new original painting  “Poissons Volants: Les Poissons Roses” debuting at the Corey Helford Gallery downtown.  It is part of the group show “Defying Gallery” – I am not “officially” doing a live autograph signing, but I will casually be dropping by for the opening that evening for at least a bit (just with friends to check out the show) – if you see me, say hi!  =)

We return July 17 from the west coast, so in the meantime if you place an order for an original painting or for a limited edition hand embellished canvas in the next week or two we will have a short delay (as I have to wait until I’m back in my studio to ship those personally!) – everything else though (prints, pins, books, etc.) will be shipping as always with no delay.

Next – I have a new painting to show you!  The piece I did for the Three Wishes Faery Festival is now available as prints & canvases (the original painting has been SOLD).  You can order those here at Strangeling.com (and remember, if you order more than $25 you’ll get the FREE Time Flies anniversary pin!).

Speaking of original paintings, I have been working on several new ones for upcoming gallery shows and for DragonCon!  Check out my Instagram (ID: Strangeling) or Facebook here to see these works-in-progress.

Another new project I’m happy to announce is my PERPETUAL CALENDAR – an enormous project consisting of a perpetual calendar with 60+ tiles (including special event tiles for birthdays, seasons, etc. with my paintings on them) and 12 handpainted figurines – all on a specially-built calendar shelf.  Perpetual calendars can be used year after year, as you arrange the days of the week, holidays & date yourself with the tiles – super neat.  It is in the pre-order stage so it is currently first available to USA customers at the Bradford Exchange – you can order here.  Live outside the US?  Don’t worry, after the release it will pop up at the international shipping site Burning Desires here later this year after the release for worldwide shipping anywhere on the globe.

And finally – ACEOs!  I have a bunch of new ACEO cards up for auction on eBay, each starting at literally one penny, each one will be popping up a different day this week while I’m out of town click here to see them all…… I will be back home in time to ship these out with no delay.
