Deadpool Logo Acrylic Painting

I've made a Deadpool hoodie, scarf, and dog jacket for my daughter. Now, we've gone a little larger.

She wanted a mural but I didn't want to sand off the shadow image left on the wall when it is someday repainted.

I considered buying a large canvas but decided to use some of the 18 inch square canvases I had on hand. Blick had a great sale and I bought a few too many canvases. I love the potential of a blank canvas.

This is why I live in Minnesota.

Abraham Lincoln Internet Quote Poster

The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can't confirm their validity. Abe is chilling with his iPod and he's decked out in Apple colors.

Prime Time Clock Prime Number Math Poster

I should have been a newscaster that reports on arithmetic since math puns are my favorite. OK, one of my favorites. I could say this was inspired by Don McLean's song Prime Time but my family would know I was lying, and dang, now the song is in my head on endless loop.

Twisted Sense of Humor Poster

The moment when you realize your children have your twisted sense of humor and you're not sure if you should be proud or scared.

My husband read me this quote yesterday and I furiously wrote it down since it's so true. I find my kids to be wicked funny but the rest of the world might have another view. What do they know...

Batlady Crazy Costume Poster

Wow, even the Victorian ladies wanted to be Batman. Personally, I don't find it crazy to want to be Batman, minus all the angst. After all, today you can be anything you imagine, even if it's a little batshit crazy.

The vintage illustration sits on a light gray background with a white pattern.

The vintage Rome coffee pot is pouring out the words, Coffee is not a matter of life or death, it's more important than that.

What Really Happened To The Dinosaurs

Yes, that's the Starship Enterprise in the upper left corner.

We had a fish tank stored in the garage that my husband didn't want to get rid of so I filled it with dollar store dinosaurs, fake plants and rocks. I painted the vinyl dinosaurs with acrylic paint and hid them among the greenery. Some poor hapless beasts were not successful and were abducted. They are floating upwards, suspended by fishing line.  I used clear pushpins in the ceiling to attach the fish line.

I bought glow in the dark paint for beaming lines but I'm waiting until I repaint the room.

Serenity Firefly Quotes Typography Poster

Firefly is one of my favorite TV shows. The poster text is words and phrases from Firefly and Serenity. The silhouettes include Jayne's hat, the ship Serenity, Vera and Zoe's knife. Shiny.

The iPad and iPhone Cases With My Designs Arrived

The iPhone and iPad cases came in the mail while I was at the cabin chasing wildlife out the door. We had eagles circling looking for a puppy snack, wolves howling and raccoons munching outside the window. The snakes and mice took turns coming in to visit and left ever so reluctantly. It's a good thing I'm from Viking stock since I chased the marauders out with my trusty broom.

I think they turned out very nice.  I would have chosen differently but I'll have to assume they know their market since I'm not their target consumer.

Personalized Latitude and Longitude Map Poster

There's no place like home. I adore maps and will whip one out  at the slightest provocation. The latitude and longitude on the print are of my cabin.

Donating Beanie Babies

I found a use for all those Beanies that my daughter used to collect; we're donating them to the fire station. The fire captain said they gave out several toys last week to children involved in a car accident. She kept them dust free, in mint condition and now they may do some good.

Go Play Outside Kayak on Lake Poster

It doesn't get much better than this. I took the photo on one of our gorgeous Minnesota lakes and played with the image in Photoshop so that it would have an Instagram type effect. I think I need to get an iPhone; Photoshop is a lot more effort than a phone effect.

Bear Hug Punny Poster

Some people consider puns to be a lower form of humor, it's my personal favorite.

The bear is a vintage illustration from the Graphics Fairy. I changed his color and turned him into a vector.

I like the circle with hug since a hug goes around someone.

8 Bit Rygar Poster

I made an 8 bit style poster for the rec room of one of my DH's favorite vintage games. Thank goodness Illustrator tools make all those little vector pixels fairly easy to do.

I used the rectangular grid tool, turned the grid into a live paint group and used the paint bucket to fill the grid. The squares were .02 inches so there was plenty to paint; it's a good thing I powered up with a double cappuccino.

Taco Crunchy Crack Poster

I bet you can guess what I had for lunch.

The image was done in Illustrator and the wrinkled paper was done in Photoshop.
