New Book! Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed
By Blonde Blythe ( Toni Boozer ) with forward written by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. Distributed worldwide by Merrell Publishers, April 2008. This wonderful book features 8 of my paintings and a page written by me about how the big eyed art masters of the past influence and inspire my artwork today.
I have received my first copy and it is just gorgeous!! I am so impressed with this book and all of the amazing artists in it and thrilled that I was invited to be a part of it :)

Big Eye Art: Resurrected and Transformed is available for purchase (currently priced at only $19.77) on Amazon.com click here

"In the late 1950's, and throughout the 1960's and into the 70's, such artists as Margaret keane, Gig and Maio created a new kind of mass-produced art known as "big-eye." Now big-eye art has undergone a major revival, but with a twist: the wide-eyed endearing waifs of the earlier movement have transformed into fairies, mermaids, demons and myriad otherworldly beings, including the famous "Blythe doll." This extraordinary book showcases the dazzling works of 22 of today's most significant big-eye artists, offering an insight into a fantastical, sometimes bizarre, metaphysical world."

New LE Canvas Prints! Ceramic Art Tiles, New Mini Bookmarks....

Happy Spring! I've got a big update today... New items! LE Canvas Prints, Licensed Ceramic Art Tiles & New Mini Bookmarks.

First, I am very, very happy to share with you my Limited Edition Canvas Giclee Prints (Hand-Embellished Signed & Numbered, Gallery Wrapped Canvas). These really are the next best thing to owning the original painting and are very affordably priced!...



They are full color professional quality Limited Edition, 8" x 10" and 11" x 14" Gallery Wrapped Glossy Giclee Canvas Print with Hand-painted Embellishments! Highly collectable Limited Editions! Only 75 of each painting will ever be made! They are truly One Of A Kind! Since each canvas is hand-embellished, no two will be identical! They really look just like the original painting! No frame is needed! The canvas has a hanger and is ready to display.

How I create each canvas print; It is a 3 day process to complete one of these canvas prints. The image is printed with my professional quality giclee printer on a sheet of prepared artist's canvas. Then I add hand paint details of the image with acrylic paint and hand sign and number the print. The canvas print is then hand coated and set with a UV protectant giclee varnish shield giving it a glossy finish just like the original painting. Last, the canvas is stretched onto 3/4" stretch bars with staple-free sides that are black. The back of the canvas has a sawtooth hanger and is ready to display and is also signed by me, including the title date and edition number. I would also be happy to personalize the back of the canvas at your request. Note: Edition Number, Signature & brushstrokes will vary since these are hand embellished.

I am trying out listing the very first ( # 01 of 75 ) canvas print of each painting as an Auction on eBay. I have started these four canvas prints listed below at 1/2 off the regular price!

MegaCon :) // LE Canvas Prints Coming Soon!

MegaCon was lots of fun! My table was right next to Alex. So that was really cool :D I was very nervous about having to talk to people but It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be at all. I kind of slipped right back into "waitress-ing mode" you know with lots of small talk. If I had a dollar for every time someone was walking by my booth and said "OMG Kitties!" and came over too look, I would be sooooo rich LOL! Thank you to everyone that stopped by my table. It was so nice to meet everyone and hear all the wonderful kitty stories too!



My table....

Pirate Cat :) Captain Leo .....

Here is the very, very rough sketch of my Pirate Cat. You can get an idea of what the cat and his PiRAT are going to look like. This doesn't have all the details, patterns, jewelry, beads, background etc in it. I'll be adding all of those as I paint :).....



I chose my own kitty Leo to be my pirate cat. Which is pretty funny considering that he's supposed to be a big bad brave pirate! In real life, Leo is the biggest scaredy cat I've ever seen :) I chose him because needed a cat that was long haired and I like Leo's markings with the big white "Scar" across his nose. I also made him a little less startled looking in the sketch ;)



If I can get this painting to come out on the canvas the way I see it finished in my head.... It's going to be really, really cool! ;D
