Mounting problems....

sleep, originally uploaded by TheDevilsWallpaper.

Monday, I bought a mount cutter. And then I cut the world worse mount.
Then I cut the worlds second worse mount, and then a pretty bad one.
Then I realised they had put the blade on back to front, which was causing the strange curvature of my apertures.

Today I listed this sketch, with a mount that means it's ready to bung in any 5x7 frame you have handy.

It'll look pretty, and make a nice present :D

Illo momentum

For your friday entertainment, here is a painting I am working on... gaining momentum, from sketch, to almost finished. almost because I had an important meeting at the pub to attend. A meeting with Nachos.

Hurrah! September

Jim has gone back to work now, so I have all day indulge in my hopeless internet addiction.. I mean work. Every now and then one of my prints comes out wonky, which is upsetting when you are using expensive inks and paper. I mean, it's basically fantastic, but it's fallen off the edge of the paper.. no fair.

Well, I have Found the perfect solution! I have cut down the prints to make some unique, high quality ACEO's, badges and magnets. I am not sure I can actually make a profit on the badges, since I only have a super badge it an the refills are not particularly cheap.. but it makes me happy. It's recycling, and my joy at being able to make a badge (in 3 different sizes!) has not lessened since I was 10. And you get a wonderful piece of art as cheap and chips.

They will all be for sale or gifted in packages (to those that spend lots :D)
