Sneak Preview - Mini-Art Booklets

Inspired from market days with Jessica.

Measuring 3.5" x 2.5" [ 9 x 6.5cm ], these little art booklets will fit in your pocket, wallet or purse. Each booklet is filled with 20 pages of beauty to uplift the soul & imagination and can be pulled out at anytime you need some extra colour in your life :)

All contain photos of my original paintings.

01 :: Wild Ginger, shows the progression of her creation.

02 :: in abstraction, contains a selection of my abstract paintings.

03 :: unbridled passions, holds a series of my women.

Sneak Preview - Art Cards

A small selection of printed art cards...

I hope to have five more folded cards from the "Wild Ginger" detail shots available once I confirm a couple of shops to sell them through :)

So... What have I been up to?

After having an extremely informative meeting with an art reproduction print shop last month, reviewing a number of licensing & art distribution companies and a wide variety of on-line print & publication options.

I have decided to focus on creating a new line of art gifts, a small selection of interesting items that will be useful as well as decorative, something that will make great affordable gifts for family & friends.

As a bit of a sneak preview, I thought I’d start posting a few photos of my sample items as they come in...

2012 Pocket Calendars

The cover art can be chosen from

any of the paintings found on my website :)

Please feel free to send me any sugestions and/or constructive feedback!

What’s The Next Step?

How can I create more movement & interest in my art?

How can I get more exposure for the paintings that already exist?

And lets be honest, how can I create more financial abundance?!

One of the hidden bonuses of returning home to Canada for the holidays, working with the family company and not having any art supplies (I miss my paints & Sally’s garage! ), is the extra time I have to dedicate to the business side of my art; the admin, promotions & marketing.

The last time I was home, I built my website, www.artegaragem.com

This time I am focusing on print, publication, licensing & art distribution options :D
