Paintbrush Clown

Paintbrush Clown, mixed media assemblage with old paintbrush

The last installment for this round of assemblage is a wise ol' paintbrush clown with tattooed arms (last seen in this mummified state). For those of you wondering about art blocks...a fresh batch of them will be served next week. And...remember this paintbrush clown?

The Star Paint Box

Chippy Paint

Raise your hand if you have a thing for chippy paint! I know I do and from the looks of it so does my Instagram-ing spouse Patrick (aka elasticity). Thought you'd enjoy his collection of images documenting peeling paint that adorns decaying facades in and around Manhattan, Kansas.

Vintage Watercolor Tins

This slew of old lithographed watercolor tins was a lucky score on Ebay. I love thinking of all the pictures painted by kids (all grown up now) with these partially used cakes of paint! It was a pleasure to photograph these as a collection and put them together into smaller groupings which will make their way into the shop later on in the week.

The Color Earth

Picking Up Trash Around The Earth by Lizzie Scott

Happy Earth Day All! We're about to head out to our favorite walking trail with trash bag and gloves in hand to clean up wayward litter. Take a peek at the treasury I put together to celebrate Earth Day--it's titled The Color Earth but it ain't as pink as Lizzie's version!

The Star Paint Box

This beauty of a paint box was a lucky find indeed! It's definitely the largest vintage watercolor set I've ever come across. More often than not the paints from these old tins have been disposed but in this case the majority are intact. Trying to decide which I like best--the interior or the exterior? Ok...I've decided...despite the spectacular graphics, the palette of 100 colours wins! The Star Paint Box is available for purchase right here.
