May Love & Light Switches 2012

The new joints for May painted in a storm, with hail, flying pigs, and thousands of crawling menacing lobsters. Nah, just the new ones painted in a car.  Heres a nice Mos Def joint to get you moving them shoulders.

Positive Wall Affirmation- "Play" (hand crafted)

Having more fun with power tools, decided to cut up this old frame and play around a bit, hence the name "play".  More power tool messing about coming soon. Heres the link to the store

Positive Wall Affirmation- "Action!"

Here is the first PWA of the year, a very fitting word for a mountain of when, "Action!" (link)

Positive Wall Affirmation: "Step Frwd" (forward)

The new year is about to start! This is a reminder to let go of things that are weighing us down and move forward "now". In case you've just tuned in PWA- (positive wall affirmations) are meant to have a good reminder near you in your home, office, studio, classroom, etc. In the past the words I've painted like "Breathe" or "Health is Wealth" have helped me and the folks who purchase them to live a bit lighter. I make these by using hand made or found materials and paint. Hope you enjoy.

This is the fifth in a series of small paintings I'll be doing which are:
-Hand painted
-Positive Word Affirmations
-Typography & Symbols
-Made for wall hanging
