The Rake by The Decemberists (from the album The Hazards of Love). I want to do a whole series. I might tweak these a bit, but I'm pretty happy all round.

Speakeasy Holiday Show!

It's tonight people! Here are some photos of the stuff I'll be selling. Excuse the quality of some of them...I took it with my phone since I seem to have taken the batteries out of my camera to use in my Wii remote so that I could get both Luke and Darth Maul to raise the platform in the Emperor level. At the time it seemed REALLY important.

There will also be canvas bags with the city print and smaller canvas bags with the beaver print. My Christmas cards will also be there. I'll upload some of those images for you too...update...apparently I can't upload PDF's. Sorry guys. But if you take a look further down the blog you'll see the images that the cards use.

Apart from the framed prints, I'll also bring some unframed ones. I wanted to get those plastic sleeves to protect them...but where the hell do you get those? Comic book stores?

See the ad below for the Speakeasy Artisan Sale at the Gladstone! Should be fun!!!

Also, deadline for cards is coming up. For me and you. I can fill in orders as you need them but the Martha in me wants to remind you about how long it takes to get Christmas cards written up and mailed out! I'll have the two sets for sale. The Flamingo Christmas set (see my entry from last year for designs) and the 12 Days of Christmas (I should have some final pictures up soon). $15 for a pack or 2 for $25. Email me at sarah.mousseau@gmail.com.

I'm working on my third set Christmas in the City, but I don't think it'll be ready until I'm sending my cards out. Next year!

I'll see you at the Gladstone on December 4th!

Chestnuts roasting, sleigh bells ringing,

and the season starts a-swingin’!

Join us for holiday cocktails, a few good tunes,

and another fantastic show at The Gladstone.

The annual “SpeakEasy Holiday Sale” will be held on Thursday, December 4th

crafts and seasonal fun. It’s a chance to shop for hand-crafted holiday gifts.

More images from the 12 Days series of Christmas cards. Again, I'm still working out the colours while I finish the rest of the inking. Here's 9 ladies dancing and 6 geese a laying. Yay!
