ArtSpan organizes art events throughout the year, and for five decades has held its city-wide San Francisco OPEN STUDIOS annually, over several weekends, every autumn. Examples by many participating artists may be viewed during that time online, as well as at SomArts Main Gallery. Pick up a free art guide with maps before going out to visit the artists and studios of your choice
(I continue my membership, but have been unable to reopen my studio to the public. Meanwhile, here is my ArtSpan Artist Page)
Shop for print-on-demand (P.O.D.) items at Zazzle, such as the Woodpecker puzzle or Mouse puzzle in its own box; glass key/trinket tray, or square key/trinket tray. More items can be found at Redbubble and Cafe Press.
Note: I have become dissatisfied with the quality of some of the products, especially clothing. Printful claims they offer (a few) more sustainable products, so I am building a shop there, after reading this blog. I will no longer offer POD stickers, since I learned they're made with toxic PVC, or polyvinyl chloride.
I usually have a small inventory of some of the above items on offer during my Open Studios weekend.
In addition, I make high quality inkjet copies of my sold artworks, mount them on wood panels, cover with clear encaustic wax, and add touches of oil and/or mixed medi, so that each one is unique. If you like, I can make one to order, after you select size(s) and image(s)
Also, the above P.O.D. links can print many of my images onto other quality substrates, such as canvas, metal, wood, etc.
If you order from one of the online P.O.D. shops, simply select what you want, then place your order directly with them.
When ordering from me, please enter "ART ORDER" in your e-mail subject line, and describe what you want. I'll reply with an estimate, if I can fulfill your request.
Note: California state sales tax will be added where applicable.Portraits
To commission a portrait: please enter "ART ORDER" in your e-mail subject line, then describe what you want, with your image attached, plus the size you want the portrait to be. I'll then send you a reply with my estimate. (As messages do sometimes end up in the spam folder: if you haven't heard back from me after a while, please re-send your email!)
