Super Summer Shop Update and Sale!

Hi everyone,
I'm finally able to announce that my big shop update with original paintings, a sculpture, doodle card and APs galore is finally here! Everything can be previewed right now in my shop and will go live on Saturday, July 29th at 3pm EDT. As always, there's a handy dandy countdown timer with each listing.
There will also be 14 items on sale, from giclees to mounted prints to my pins. Since there's so much happening at once, my shop will go down for a few minutes before 3pm Saturday so I can put everything live at once.

Hope you're all enjoying your day!
See you Saturday,
Kristin

Nectar - Prints on Wood Timed Release

I'd like to introduce...Nectar! He's my latest timed release with the amazing folks at Prints on Wood. Each print will be signed and numbered and the edition size will be determined by the amount sold between now and June 15th. You can even get him with a custom frame as shown above. And below, here he is without the frame.
Thanks so much!

Happy Houses Solo Show

I'm so excited to once again be showing with Gallery 1988! This year's show is especially exciting because I teamed up with my husband, Ed Mironiuk. The theme is Happy Houses and along with my 23 new paintings, Ed built 5 sculptures to go along with the theme! I'll have new prints as well and will be in attendance on opening night at the newly expanded Gallery 1988 West (7308 Melrose Ave, LA) Friday, April 28th. As always, the first chance to purchase artwork will be at the opening, with the remaining items going online the following day. See you soon!

On the opposite side of the country, Gallery 1988 is presenting the official Rick and Morty Art Show. It opens Friday, January 13th from 7-9pm and will be your first chance to purchase artwork.

Yayy!!! I'm so excited about this! May I present, "Pipistrello" a cut to shape print on wood now available from Prints on Wood. He's a timed release from now until Halloween (at midnight - boo!) so get yours while you can. I will be signing and numbering each print (and maybe a doodle or two or three).

Valencia and Doodles

I had a bit of time on my hands and decided to paint up one of my little doodles and Valencia is the result. I imagine him living among the citrus groves and protecting his fellow oranges. He measures 6" x 7" and is acrylic on maple and will be available for purchase in my shop today at 4pm EDT.

Speaking of doodles...as many of you may already know, I've been doodling little stream of consciousness characters in my sketchbook lately and the response has been so positive! It seems that many of you get a smile from them and that makes me smile. I decided to venture beyond my sketchbook the other day and doodle on a 5" x 7" piece of bristol. I also got up the nerve to put it up for sale in my shop and it sold immediately. Which just solidifies the fact that I'm going to be doodling more in the future. Many thanks!

From Pugs to Powdered Toast

Hi everyone, I've got three upcoming shows I'd love to talk about, so here goes!

Up first and opening Thursday, June 23rd is Cute, Cute Kawaii! Japan's Pop Culture Movement at the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego, CA. This show runs through October 23rd and will include a Comic Con after party on July 22nd from 7-11pm. I was on a roll with kawaii food and decided to do three more pieces for this event. You can see "Mister Brown", "Mister Green" and "Mister Pink" above. All are 7" x 7" acrylic on maple for $200 a piece. For more information please visit their website.

Next up is 90's N!Q@P!Q opening Saturday, June 25thfrom 7-9pm at PIQ Grand Central Terminal, NYC. This show celebrates characters from 90's Nickelodeon shows and has quite the roster, curated by Crummy Gummy.
I couldn't help but do my rendition of Powdered Toast Man (you may remember him from "Ren & Stimpy"), but in his younger years when he was just a Powdered Toast Boy. He measures 8" x 8", acrylic on maple for $375.
For more information you can visit their Facebook event page here.

And last but not least is the 2016 More Than a Cone Auction which begins on July 5th. Every artist was given the task of transforming the "cone of shame" that pets sometimes wear when they need medical treatment. I just couldn't help but see a little Black Eyed Susan flower with a pug in the center. This painting is titled, "Petal Pug", 8" round acrylic on wood and is valued at $350. For more information about this benefit and all the MTAC upcoming events, please visit their website here.

That's all for now!

Happy Hour, Bob's Burgers and Little Ricky

I just got back from my trip to Los Angeles and it was wonderful as always. My opening for Happy Hour at Gallery 1988 East was so much fun! Many thanks to all the people who came out for it - it was great seeing so many new and old friends. The show will be up until May 21st but if you can't make it to the gallery you can now see and purchase paintings and prints online here.

Then on Sunday it was off to Gallery 1988 West for their official Bob's Burgers show to commemorate their 100th episode. It's a rarity that I can attend a group show opening and get to see all the wonderful creations in person. This show is amazing and definitely worth a look. But it's only up on the walls until May 7th. As always, though, it is all online and available for purchase. My painting above is "Little King Trashmouth" and is based on the episode "Slumber Party" where Linda names and feeds the raccoons living in the dumpster out behind the restaurant. Little King Trashmouth loves pizza and red wine - I couldn't resist painting him!

Last up for this month is the PAWS Art Show at Leanna Lin's Wonderland in Eagle Rock. The opening is Saturday, May 7th from 4-8pm. You can get all the details from their Facebook Event page here. You can see my contribution to the show above, "Little Ricky". He's based off of my own little buddy! Leanna's is such an adorable shop and gallery, I only wish I was still in town to be able to attend the opening.

That's all for now, thanks everyone!

What's Happening

I've been absent here for quite some time - my apologies :) I guess it's just easier to do a quick update on social media than a big posting on my website. But spring has sprung here in the northeast and I felt compelled to do some sprucing up. If you didn't know already, I've been busy painting for my upcoming solo ("Happy Hour") at Gallery 1988 opening Friday, April 29th at their East location. I've been having fun with this one and I really hope you all enjoy what I've created!

I've also been doing some character design for a company that I'm sure you all know and love but I'm not at liberty to talk about that. Suffice it to say that I had blast and I really hope that I can share these creations with all of you in the future.

I also started taking an hour or so every week to work in my sketchbook. This is something that I was never good at and wanted to have some fun creating... well...whatever popped into my head at that moment. I didn't think anything of them when I decided to post a page or two on IG, but the response was overwhelming! And the same comment came up over and over -- "Make fabric of these, please!"

Seeing as I've always wanted to do something like this and have been eyeing up Spoonflower for years now, I actually made some fabric! It came out super cute, fun and bright and I just can't wait to get my sewing machine fixed so I can make something out of it. If any of you would like to do the same thing, simply visit http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/cuddly_rigor_mortis and you can order up this design on a whole bunch of beautiful fabrics, as well as wallpaper and wrapping paper. If the response continues, I'd love to add some more of these sketchbook cuties to the site.

Well that's about all! As always, thanks for reading :D -- Kristin
