Good Very early morning to you on this Very Chilly Dark Monday.
Good news if you have not been to my website then you need to stop by as I have a whole new look for the site. I LOVE IT!! Chad Savage did a wonderful job with everything i asked for design wise keeping the spooky look and running with it. My WEBSITE store will be up on Black Friday. I will have Limited Number of canvas prints available for purchase. These prints will be just like the original Painting but at a much lower affordable price. The canvas prints will come on canvas sheets so mounting them will be up to you. I have done this to keep the cost down for you but very simple to mount when you get home when your ready to frame it. Original paintings will also be available. Mostly all NEW paintings that i make for now on will have some sort of print to go along with it but please remember they will be VERY LIMITED depending on image as making prints can be costly and time consuming. Black Friday I will have great prices on some original designs right in time for your Holiday gift giving. If your a grinch and you just want to buy and forget the holidays you still get great deals on Black Friday so be sure and stop by ;) I paint almost every single day so most likely new work will be available for purchase on a weekly basis maybe daily depending on how much my children will let me get to painting. Stop by oftne as you never know what i will have up again if you want the print and if they are very limited grab them before they are gone forever. CHECK BACK THIS BLACK FRIDAY after Thanksgiving to check out some great deals. Hope you like the new site!!

Hurricane, Tropical storm, Super storm Sandy roared through my neck of the woods and left me without power for 3 days. A short time frame compared to so many that are still without power or even a home. Last years Halloween was taken from us as a freak snow storm blew in and knocked out power. This year our power was turned on a few hours before operation scare little children came to Jack O Lantern light. I was very happy as i thought this year we once again would have been stripped from the festivities. I am so happy Halloween was saved and we got to celebrate the right way!!! Ok on to some more news..

I have been working everyday painting, sculpting making ornies for your Holiday decorating and gift giving. My site is still being worked on . This is a NEW major website redesign with a store front. The store front will be up in time for your gift giving so no worries there. I am just not sure of an exact date. SO please be patient lol. I have one more local arts and crafts show at the Dutchess Community College on November 24 and 25th. I will have all sorts of New paintings. Canvas prints are being made up as i type so not only will they be available at the show they will be available online as well. Much more affordable then the original but pretty close to the original. I have been working on Candy Cane creatures. Little Creatures that love eating candy canes, The Ghosts of Christmas Past these sculptures stand 12"- 15" tall. All done with a spooky flare that I am sure you will love. I will have limited quantitiy Coffin Cases at the Craft Show this is a large item not like my tiny coffin trinket boxes. So keep your eye out lots of new things coming to light.

New Website is still in construction. I have been painting up a storm to offer great pieces for your consideration here on my website. I am most confident that Chad Savage will whip up a Great design for the new site. Making it easier for collectors to purchase pieces directly from me with out hassle of a 2nd party site getting in the way. Mixed up emails was a big problem with communication between collector/fan and myself these selling on these sites. NO MORE! Again I will have auctions on occasion they can be fun for everyone. My website url will stay the same. Not changing up on that so if you visit me often that will stay the same no worries :) I have one more local show I will be attending for you New Yorkers and surrounding states. November 24-25th my Birthday ;) "Black Friday Weekend" I will be at the Dutchess County Community College selling all sorts of Goodies. Including creepy Holiday Ornaments, Spooky decorations and of course Original paintings and prints. Stop by and See my Booth dressed up for the Holiday Season :-)

 The Halloween season again this year has been strangled with bad weather. Right now we are watching a hurricane in the south strengthening. Everyone is awaiting to see where this Hurricane will travel to. Met's are reporting a direct hit to NJ, NYC, Cape cod. I am located in the Hudson Valley which if we get hit will most likely ruin my Halloween once again this year. Last year we had a HUGE snow storm leaving thousands with out power for days. So lets cross our fingers and hope this hurricane moves out to the ocean and misses the states all together. If not my 51 pumpkins will miss out on carving this year :(

Stay Spooky my friends!!!

The moon is lovely this early Friday morning in October. Still battling this sucky lung infection but getting better then i was over a week ago. 
Any whooo Weds night I spoke with web designer Chad Savage. He has started to work on my new website. I am very excited what the final design will look like. He did such a great job with my current site that so many of you have loved over the years. But time for a change A great change. With a a Store front right here on my website. You will be able to purchase artwork and other curious things right here on my site instead of  going to second party websites. True I will still have Ebay auctions. But they will not be every week like i have had in the past. I paint almost everyday. I would like to put special offers here on my site at lower prices so I can eliminate fess i am charged from the 2nd party websites. I will have one of a kind pieces, prints, posters, t-shirts, Merch. I will be offering my larger coffin boxes as cabinets, shelve units. I will have clocks available as well. At first the store front won't look like much but over time it will be filled with interesting things like you are with me at one of my shows. Keep an eye out within the next week. A whole new design will be popping up :)
