My store!
As some may have read on my photo blog, yesterday I re-launched my print store on etsy. I've been hoping to do this for some time--I opened an etsy store two years ago, but quickly got busy and never really took the time to figure out how things worked. But with the recently updated alexremy.com, I decided it was time to give it another shot. Namely, I wanted to offer bright, cheerful prints of my art and photography, at reasonable prices.
Over the past months I started collecting my favorite images, then had some fabulous, vibrant prints made on exceptional lustre paper (seriously, I can't express how pleased I am with them, they absolutely surpassed my expectations). This weekend I finished my "photoshoot" with the prints, and yesterday I got busy relaunching by Alex Remy, my store.
You can visit the store by clicking the banner below, the new tab at the top of the page, or the goodies button at the bottom of each new post. Additionally, I've added a store browser on the left side of this blog, so you can see any recently uploaded prints and images. 
Here's a sampling of what you'll see when you get there:
In which we paint faces
Last weekend my husband and I spent a few hours at the downtown Marriot, painting faces at a Geocoin convention. I received an email from the wonderful lady organizing the event back in September, asking if I knew anyone who might be willing to volunteer. As it happens, I've done face painting in the past, and have been interested in doing it again. I told her I'd be happy to help out, and recruited my husband (he's a writer and teacher, but has amazing artistic talent too).
As always, the kids were a bit shy about getting their faces painted near the beginning, but once they saw their peers wandering around with pandas and snakes and skulls and other miscellaneous creatures, we had quite a rush. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take any pictures during the event since we were so busy, but here are a few to give you an idea. 
Sketchbook Page 3
This was a quick scrub painting, done in haste as my, uh...rear end fell asleep on the hard wood floor.
In case you haven't seen the news, that sleeping figure is Tess, the newest edition to our family. You can read all about it over here.
Original Art: Unexpected
Another painting. This was fun and quick to create, and the splattering was very satisfying. This is a scene from a park we went to recently--an unexpected, solitary grove in the middle of a city.
You can see a larger version here.
The original piece and a very nice 8x10 print are for sale. Please contact me if you're interested!
