Rising From The Ashes, aka It Has Been A While

I owe all of you some catch-up posts. In the last year and a half, my husband and I decided to move to a more rural environment, found a house (and bought it), moved, sold our old house, dealt with a death in the family that was a long time coming, tried to settle in to our new country-ish lives while wildfires raged in the Sierras last...

Fall/Winter 2013 Holiday Sales and Custom Order Deadlines

Howdy all! It's Autumn, and that means it's time for everyone I know in the art/DIY world to switch out of Con Mode and into Holiday Mode.  Yes, it seems early for Christmas, but every November I have to turn frantic last-minute customers away, which makes me very sad.  It's not that I don't WANT to create a custom gift for you,...

I've Been Livin' In A Box (Lots Of 'Em, Actually)

Holy mackerel, I've been MIA from my blog for too long!!!  Why, you ask?  Well, I've actually been creating new things in the studio, which is always a good thing. Last November, I officially reintroduced the Krissi's Art Studio trinket boxes for the Dia de los Muertos show I did at Little Relics in Sacramento.  Since then,...

Because It's ALL About You! (new landing page at skelekitty.com)

I spent two full days this week working on making my shop easier for folks to get around in.  There are two big changes that I think are pretty cool: New main page.  Instead of the old main page, which took you to the first 20 or so products, now you will start at this awesome page, where you can browse by item (paintings, earrings)...

It's time for the Print of the Week! Love & Death, one of the fin de siècle flower series I painted in the Spring of 2012, is 50% off this week.

Prints of the Week: Butterflies On The Brain

Maybe I was inspired to make these prints the "Prints of the Week" because we saw a Monarch butterfly while walking the dog this weekend.  Maybe it's because The Venture Bros. is finally coming back with Season 5.  Honestly, who's to say?  Either way, you can have 8x10s of either Soul Searching or Spirits' Journey for half...
