12 x 12 prints.

So here are some of my 12 x 12 prints. I sold the Uni-brow print at one of my shows. And I have them available as cards on my etsy site. I wanted to work with some bright fun colors. I like to keep a sketch book of random ideas. I just write phrases or doodle little sketches and later I when I want to work on a new piece I flip thru my idea book and create. I would love to put some of them on shirts. Maybe one day. I have a few other ideas I want to add to this group.

Vintage Find-Shakespeare's Complete Works 1800's

So on one of my many Garage Sale/ Estate sale hunt I cam across this great set. They were selling a ton of books, looks like they own a book store and maybe getting rid of some stock. I hope they meant to have these out, cause they are amazing. It a complete set of Shakespeare's writings, There's a signature on the inside with the date Nov. 9th 1879. It has beautiful gold foil on the cover and binding. All the pages seem to be in place and the binding in tack though the cover on a few is a little detached. I paid $1 for each book and I'm curious to see what they are worth.


Each book has this amazing gold leaf design on the cover and the sides also have gold leaf text.


Books set of 4
-Shakespeare's Complete Works - Illustrated
-Shakespeare - Tragedies
-Shakespeare - Comedies
-Shakespeare -Histories



There are many pages filled with beautiful illustrations such as this and they all have that protective sheet bonded into the book I guess to preserve it over the years


I couldn't find a date as to when the book was made but the signature inside was
dated Nov. 19 1879

Vintage Find-View Master

After one of my weekends of antique browsing I came across this View Master. It's from Sawyer's, Inc. It is a Model "C" Sawyers View-Master in black bakelite with a metal advance. It was made in Portland, Oregon. It's aged but in excellent condition and works fine. It's a later model probably made in the 40's or early 50's. What I've seen when researching it, most date the "C" model between 1946-1955. It came with 11 reels listed below. When I was little I always loved looking thru view master. It's a childhood must! A great find..paid around $30 for it. I would love to find more fun reels for it.

La Di Da Show May 30th 2009

La Di Da Was a great show. I was located in the Main theater room so I was able to watch the performances and had a good flow of traffic. To explain the size of the show, the pics I have are of the main room which I was in, but there was also 2 other rooms and a main hall way which artwork was displayed in as well.
