Galleons and buried Treasuries

Ahoy there and top of the morning to you from down under.


I've been busy today with new artwork inspired by my love affair with typography reversed out of black, I'll show you those in a minute.


But to start with, I'm showing a recent treasury my Ships Draught blueprint was included in. I've found out it was featured on the front page of etsy today, which has blown my socks off. I was so busy I didn't get to see this for myself as I was buried waist deep in work. 

Here it is in more detail:

So a big thank you to Ohmyampersand for adding the War Wasp to the treasury that made the front page of etsy.


And so for new work: This has been on the drawing board for sometime with a variety of title names but can now be christened The Chopping List. On the menu for the Chopping List are Beef...

Followed by a spoonful of Pork...

 Then a soupsan of Lamb...

And after a sorbet, how about some Chicken...

And so to close this short entry, do enjoy these prints on my easy shop. They are all available for $15.00 each and the deal still stands at buy 3 get the 4th free. They'll soon be over in made it and my direct online shop at www.empressionista.com

Yesterday I woke up to a wondrous etsy email which shows us the countdown to Black Friday as it's known. That's the day before Thanksgiving when retailers are hammered for those last minute gifts given at this special family weekend.

I'm amazed - my International Code Flag print is there in the front row third from the left. It's the bus roll print everyone's seeing now on my bexpert facebook. The sale is on over the Thanksgiving weekend so Friday 26th November through until Monday 29th November.

It may be a distance from the Northern Beaches of Sydney to be mailing prints to the United States and Canada, but buying your prints is still going to be possible. I'm making an exception and will download my prints to buyers so that they can print them up and frame them in time for Christmas. Its my way of cutting the costs of postage, packaging, recycling and airmiles.

You can convo me for details.

Enjoy your thanksgiving and see you soon.
