Mystery Trio Mini Print Packs

Screen shot 2014-05-28 at 12.49.13 PM

 

There are not too many of the mini screen prints left, and it may be awhile before we have the time to make more.

The Spusta Gnomes are busy mixing a wide variety of the remaining mini prints into Mystery Trio Mini Print Packs that will be offered in the Shop today and next Wednesday.

These Trio Packs will include one of each of the 3 common sized mini screen prints, a 7″ x 7″, a 5″ x 7″ and a 5″ x 5″. The packs will be a limit of 1 per customer, per week. Each pack will be a completely random assortment of colors and designs. The 2 larger prints are signed. There are also a handful of hand colored or embellished minis mixed in these packs, so be on the lookout.

Today’s drop, on May 28th, let’s do it at around 3 PM PST. Sound good? Probably not for all of you, so maybe we will squeeze a little extra inventory out late tonight as well.

 

Rock the Earth Hoodies

It was my pleasure to offer up my Sonny Bloom design to Rock the Earth for fundraising.

Rock the Earth is dedicated to bringing about positive and beneficial environmental consequences on behalf of members of the music industry through the means of active litigation and negotiation. Become a member and receive this hoodie at the $50 Roadie level. And if you’re at a music festival this summer, and you start to get chilly at night, remember that this hoodie may be available at the nearby Rock the Earth booth.

 

Green Toys come with a mini All the Way to the Ocean book.

I’m a big fan of Green Toys and their 100% recycled plastic, USA made products for the kiddies. I was very pleased when I saw that All the Way to the Ocean, a children’s book written by Joel Harper which I illustrated many years ago is now being packaged with the Green Toys’ Safe Seas Submarines and Seaplanes.

Go ahead and pick a few of them up here: GreenToys.com

 

Original Drawings for sale via lottery

I have been getting many requests to purchase original drawings lately, and in turn have sold many of the drawings that were available. But I’ve also been able to pull together a nice variety of original art from over the years to offer up for sale here.

Update: Invoices have been sent to all selected customers. Lottery is officially over. Thanks for all the interest folks! It’s great to have my drawings appreciated this much.

Click on the image gallery to open a larger gallery viewer that contains a bit of info about each piece, and the asking price. I should note here that all my drawings have smudges, dings and residue of some kind, none of them are perfectly clean or mint.

I’m not sure how much demand there will be for each of these, at the prices listed, so to be fair we will randomly select customers.

Interested customers should comment on this post with the original they would like to purchase. If there are more than one you’d be interested in, go ahead and list your first, second and third choices. You can comment anonymously, just be sure to use your Paypal email address as that’s where the invoice will be sent. (Also, mention if you’re International shipping) Be prepared to pay for the art within 4 days of being invoiced. There won’t necessarily be a limit of 1 OG per person, but we will be looking to get them into as many different peoples’ hands as possible.

Customers will be invoiced over the next few days at complete random, but there may be a few instances where other factors could affect the selection process.

Please note it may take an extra week or so to get all these OGs shipped, as extra care will be put into each package. Our shipping gnomes are still working on getting all the orders from the last few weeks out, and we haven’t even touched these Panic LA posters yet, so please be patient with us.

Thanks for the interest in the art and allowing us to attempt this selling format. Now, would any of you like to purchase some of these originals?

Eggday Humpday

Holding of the Egg was created as a 5″ x 5″ mini print a few years ago and has always been a strong prospect for a full size print edition. Well, that time has come for our friend with the egg and tomorrow he will be available as a 10″ x 10″ edition of 100 on a dark blue shimmer paper stock for $30.

Meet us at the Shop on Wednesday, April 30th around noonish PST to attempt to purchase Holding of the Egg. We also found a small amount of Bliss Bug mini prints from a few batches ago, so be on the look-out for a limited amount of those as well.

Both the Holding of the Egg and Bliss Bug Mini Print Packs will have a limit of 1 per customer. The limit of one per customer applies all day, or until your order is shipped. There will usually be a limit of 1 per customer on all prints and print packs, so don’t order multiples unless it states a higher limit.

To all those with outstanding orders from last week, sorry for the delay in the shipping of Carting Along and Flibflums. We ran out of some important shipping supplies and haven’t been able to get those out yet, so we would like to combine the orders from both weeks sales into one big batch of shipments. For those of you that place an order this week, and ordered last week, your orders will be combined into one package. Use the discount code “comboship” when placing 2nd and 3rd orders and you won’t be charged the for additional shipping. If there are double shipping charges, we always compensate by tossing in extra Spusta goodies into the orders.
