review of Fables

I was just made aware of this review of "Fables" at the Austin Art Garage

Two new prints in the gift shop

Ahoy there Interweb folks! I just added two new giclee prints to my Etsy shop. The Hunting Sparrow (from "Quiet Little Stories" at Art Whino) and Bird Song (from "Fables" at Austin Art Garage. They are printed on heavy weight 100% cotton archival paper with archival inks so they don't kill trees and they will last! They are signed and numbered in a limited edition of 50.

quiet little stories recap

Hey everyone!
Just got back from D.C. last night. The quiet little stories show was great. I would like to thank everyone that came out and checked it out, especially the folks who got into the interactive part of the show and shared their ideas. I think everyone really enjoyed going around and seeing what everyone was writing. You can see some pics and videos HERE
