Previewing Coming Attractions

Most of you guys already know that I have an Etsy shop, and that I really don't like to push my items in your face (unlike some bloggers I've seen).  However, this time I'm making an exception as I want to give you a preview of coming attractions.  By the time you read this (I usually schedule blog posts in advance) some may have been listed, others not.  In any event, they'll be appearing very soon, so I strongly urge you from the bottom of my little heart to visit my shop (found here) - the feline contingent of my business will be grateful as they are starving (they think they are anyway)

So, without further ado, here are some of the things I'll be listing very soon....

 As you can see, my sense of humor is as warped as ever.  And yes, I hate broccoli.  Along with eggplant, okra, and kiwis.  The fruit, not New Zealanders.




I did have a little girl version of this magnet, but that was given as a going-off-to-college gift to my therapist's daughter.  I might make another when I have time.









 Cats are definitely royal creatures.  I am not sure that dogs feel the same way about themselves, at least ordinary mixed breeds.  Pure breds, on the other hand, know their status and don't let you forget it.






It's not easy being in love, and this lady knows that full well.  
One of her favorite songs is Bryan Ferry's (of Roxy Music) song "Slave to Love" as that fits her life so well.




This is me in kindergarten, and no, I don't like Spam.  Do you get the idea that I'm a picky eater?





I thought the concept of a blue Christmas was perfect on a blue card.  I can just hear Elvis crooning the song in the background as this couple argues about something, probably green bean casseroles (I don't like those either)

Every cat has a wish list.  Usually food and catnip.  Maybe toys.  I like toys, especially of the art variety (hint, hint).

And speaking of green bean casseroles. ---->









Every well-dressed Victorian man needs a chainsaw.  Perhaps if someone in his club says something political he disagrees with?

There you have it.  A preview of coming attractions.  I don't decide on what the character says until after I create the actual piece.  I then look at the person and decide what they're thinking about.  Sometimes it's more serious and important, like the cat having a Christmas wish list.  The cat thinks it is anyway.  Mine includes art supplies, by the way.



As I said earlier, these may have been listed by the time you visit the shop, which you can find on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/rhodyart (a broader hint this time).  Hope you like what you see - I certainly do.

My Laziness This Week

I am trying to work on projects but it's really slow going.

I also haven't done a whole lot with the shop this week.  As usual I have lots of things that need to be added to the shop, and lots of photos to be edited.

Since I have to work at the gallery today, I was even thinking about taking more magnets to the gallery to photograph them.  I like to do it at the gallery because the lighting is pretty decent and better than my house.

(Note to self - investigate investing in a photography set up.)

Since I can't think of anything really interesting to talk about today, I want to bore you [B-} ] with a preview of coming attractions.  This are magnets that will be listed in the shop at some point, I promise.  If you are at all interested in any of them, contact me and we'll talk.  But I'm not really promoting them - really.  Just sharing.

There's this one - 

And this dog

A cat with a crown

A biker chick - I've been wanting to add a biker chick to the shop but haven't gotten around to it til now

And last but not least

This magnet is sort of inspired by Madonna's "Vogue" which opens with the line "What are you looking at?"  Those who are familiar with some of my work know that I am influenced by music and some of my creations directly point to particular songs or bands.

So there you have it - a preview of coming additions to the shop.  Hope you like them
