Went and saw Guardians of the Galaxy last night at the cheap theater. Excellent film and Groot was hands down the best character for me, so to show some love, here’s my latest Etsy Treasury titles, I am Groot.
Found this digital download on Brandi York’s Etsy site, and it’s a featured piece in the treasury. Enjoy

“Bikes & Brew” Poster by Kelly Affleck
So I’m a couple weeks late on the post here. I’ve been vacationing in Ocean Shores with my family, not that that’s any excuse. The Bicycle & Beer Show was a smashing success! The live music was incredible, the art spoke for itself, the giveaways from GHY were great, the weather was beaming, and everyone was having a ball. Thank you everyone who came out and helped make this a fantastic event. These are just some of the photo’s from the event. Enjoy!

A while back I was meandering through Pike Place Market and found myself at the Steinbrueck Gallery. In my opinion, one of Seattle’s best galleries, featuring Pacific Northwest Art. Two of my favorite things in one, galleries, and PNW Art. I felt so fortunate to stumble upon the current show, Gratitude by native artist Steve Smith, native name, Dla’kwagila Oweekeno. His work immediately drew me in and bright bold color does, and the detail, fine lines, and symbols helped to create a feeling of love. This man’s work spoke to me. It spoke peace, it spoke love, and it left me wanting more. There is no art I’ve found that has more meaning in it’s detail as the Pacific Northwest Indian Art. Please, if your in the Seattle area, treat yourself to this wonderful Gallery and expose yourself to something real.
“Night Market” by Jolene Lai. Found this gem on Sweet Station and fell for it. Perhaps the irony, perhaps the whimsy, perhaps the rich color choice, whatever it is, I’m drawn in and immediately the story of the painting forms in my imagination. Jolene was born and raised in Singapore, and is now based out of Los Angeles. Primarily she’s working with oil on canvas.
