If you frequent this site or read our updates you may have noticed a shift in product direction. We get many questions from customers and friends about it and I think its a good time to be more public about our intentions. When I started this business over two years ago, my intent was to raise awareness for endangered animal conservation through my art. Somewhere along the way, it became pretty evident that I was being categorized as a t-shirt artist. No issues with that, however, I definitely didn’t want the art to take a back-seat to this. Fast forward to today and coupled with the rising costs of cotton and restrictions on selling shirts in popular artist vending venues has urged the shift in focus to the artwork.This does not mean the t-shirts are done. We still have quite a few in stock – but they will only be available in our online store (unless we note otherwise). All it means is that the focus of our product releases will be on the artwork. We will produce more shirts in the future, but in a more special and limited capacity.

Of course that also means that there must be some type of reorganization to our website in order. With that said, I am happy to annouce some exciting changes going forward. On July 1st, we will be showing off a re-organized shopping catalogue in our online store as well as rearranging our growing library of endangered animal facts and information. My hubby has been hard at work on all of this and I am sure it will be fantastic as we continue through the summer and beyond. In the meantime, feel free to drop by my Etsy shop for most of my latest pieces. Thank you all for your support and love.

HA! We gotcha. April Fools. If you followed one of our various social network links, you must have been thinking, WTH? But if you stumbled upon this blog without our clever little links, I guess we’re the fools – haha. Anyhow, I wanted to take this cat-like, sly opportunity to re-introduce one of my favourite patterns. Earlier in February, I designed and painted a new piece in honor of one of the most revered species on this planet in it’s Chinese zodiac calendar year. Being that this past weekend was a complete washout, it didn’t stop me from being productive and looking ahead. Added to our patterns lineup was a familiar face – the face of Panthera Tigris in full line-art form! You know what that means right? New T-Shirts are on the way. Woo-hoo! I will be burning the screen sometime next week and hand-screening them onto a new batch of shirts shortly after. Look out for updates here and on our new twitter account. Now I’ve got to round up my models to make them look even better. Angela, Jimmy… do you hear me?

In other news, I got a lovely little shout from Invitation Buzz last week. Thanks guys! You absolutely rule. Check out their site for buzzworthy stationery.

Sometime over the past few days the gray, rainy skies conceded to the ushering in of Spring, daylight savings and the SUN. Yes, New York City is officially in paradise mode this week as people are shedding their winter gear and grumpy scowls. But do you know what that means for us? No, not just baseball season (but don’t tell my husband that) – but also outdoor market season! It has been almost eighteen weeks since we’ve last hit the pavement displaying our art and apparel. And now we’d like to formally announce that we will be making our jubilant return to the Union Square Market this coming Saturday!

Come join us at the Union Square Artists Market and have first dibs on our exciting full lineup of notecards and prints! We will have a bunch of shirts on hand as well as we know you guys want something new and hip to wear for the Spring season. Definitely sign up to my twitter account or facebook fan page for daily updates on market days as we know how unpredictable those clouds can be. We’ll see you guys, downtown.
