1. You know who’s a smart cookie? Illustrator Meg Hunt,...



You know who’s a smart cookie? Illustrator Meg Hunt, that’s who. Artists, take notes:

…I’ve decided to put together Print Club, a tiered membership offering that will give fans the prints they love before anybody else! Alpha-Level members get four prints (prints to be released will be either screenprint or letterpress, depending on what I fancy to make), Beta-Level members get two, and Gamma-Level supporters get one print of their choice. The process is simple- sign up for a membership and you’ll get put on a secret Print Club mailing list. A week before prints are announced to the public, Print Clubbers will get an email announcement sharing new prints. Respond back and choose the prints you want, and you’ll get them mailed out right away.

2. My TATTOOS SERIES is live!



TATTOOS SERIES - SIREN, originally uploaded by kathy weller.
As I've been blogging about all week, my TATTOOS series of original paintings is now finally live (woo hoo!) and for sale in my Big Cartel store! I enjoyed creating these paintings very much, and I am so happy to share them with you. You know, it is nice to offer a painting for sale when it still has some of that "just created" fairy dust all over it... and look, I have not just ONE but FOUR small but mighty pieces that fit that description. I'm proud to offer these and I hope you enjoy them. A few things I want to mention about these paintings:

Each painting is 4" x 4". Thay are small and intimate works, but they are also detailed and richly layered paintings.

• My paint of choice is Golden products and Liquitex Professional series. I find these brands to make the finest acrylic paints on the market. I am telling you, in my experience nothing kills a burst of creative inspiration like bad materials (been there!) so I ALWAYS buy the very best I can afford. And believe me it shows, in the work and also in my dedication to it! So yes, good materials are not only GOOD materials but they assist and enhance the experience as well as the joy in creating the art itself!

• I am not planning to create any further pieces in this series, and for the time being and foreseeable future you will not see any more of this style of painting from me. This series was a "comet in the night" so to speak, when I needed the light of a shooting comet to reinvigorate my creative spirit! I am thrilled with the results, but this style of work is not a path I am actively pursuing at this time.

• I will not be selling art prints of this series of paintings any time in the foreseeable future. In thirty years, who knows? But I have made the decision to not sell prints of this series for a couple of reasons that are important to me.

So, enjoy! Thank you for your interest in my work, and I hope you enjoy these paintings as much as I enjoyed the process of creating them, and the final product. :) I appreciate that you are interested in following my creative journey, and I thank you for that and for being here!

3. New original paintings - TATTOOS

I have recently created a small collection of brand new paintings. The style of the art is not what you typically see from me! Once in awhile I like to re-energize by working in a style which is not my day-to-day. These works are the final products of my latest creative excursion. The subject I tackle in the series is TATTOOS, and the people who have them. Tattoos have always been mysterious, fascinating, and endlessly interesting to me—the tattoos themselves, the reasons people get them, and what the marks personally mean to them. Then of course there’s the fact that tattoos are actually living, breathing art in the literal sense.

The four acrylic-on-wood paintings in this group, "Angel", Henry", "Bird" and "Siren" will be released for sale in my Big Cartel shop at 9 PM EST on Thursday, November 11th.  I sure hope to see you there!

4. Just a couple of quick things to share

I just have a couple quick announcements to share, not quite a blog post but more than a tweet or a FB blurb!

I recently wrote this post for the Picture Book Junkies blog. It's about the stigma of self-publishing and whether the tide is starting to turn. If this is a subject that interests you, I hope you will go on over and join in the conversation.


The Funny Bunnies are back for the Holidays 2011! check out my Etsy shop for single cards and Big Cartel shop for multiple-card packs. I don't usually use this space to promote my actual product, but since I have limited quantities I just wanted to make you aware that they are now available for purchase. I wouldn't want anyone who wants some cute-bunny love this holiday season to miss out.

More Sketchbook posts are coming soon, plus I'm hoping to have the finished illustration from my first Pick A Picture Poll ready for you to see next weekend! So please stay tuned!
