I have had this print in the works for quite some time. I actually designed some scrapbook paper for my portfolio with jms art licensing, with the glasses and same background. I've been trying to work the glasses into a print for months! Well, I think I finally got it right. :) You can find it listed in my etsy shop. It is also available in my zazzle shop in the form of postcards, cards, mugs, aprons, tote bags... to name a few things. :)
I've been shying away from using bold colors in my art lately... I keep second guessing myself and using neutrals... but I have no idea why!?
If I can think of another quote that seems fitting, I may do a coordinating print with one of the other three pairs of glasses. Any ideas? :)
I have a couple BIG projects in the works... one being the beginning stages of my very OWN website. I'm not sure how long it will take me to get it going... I've spent far too long on the beginning stages of the home page... but it has been fun. :) Have you heard of x-site pro? I've been trying to save and set some money aside over the last few months so that I could purchase the program. It costs just under 200.00 which seems like alot, but if you have spent any time at all checking into how much it costs to have a website designed... the 200 would seem like pocket change! :) I really wanted to design my own site, but did NOT want to take the time to learn html coding... this program really simplifies things. I'll be able to give a better review of it after I get a little further along, but so far I am loving it.
So, Vol.25 will have its own official space online. I love etsy, but think it would be nice to not rely on it for all my sales. Would you still prefer to shop through etsy? I'll definitely keep my etsy shop open, but am curious how many people would actually shop a website as opposed to etsy?
Well, anyhow... there is also another secret project in the works... Here is a little hint/tease... it combines two of my favorite hobbies... photography and drawing... and Nope... its not the graffiti art series I'm working on either! :P Perfecting it is going to involve hours spent with my trusty friend "google." Any guesses?
Stumble It!
wow!
i love all of your smart prints! they are funny & so cute. (:
have a nice day!
XOXOXO.

I love this quote! I thought maybe you could incorporate the glasses with a Bible and some Bible quotes? I enjoy reading your blog! Someday you guys need to come see us! We really don't live that far away!

Do keep us updated on the site. I'd love to hear your review of the program... I'm in sore need of a site of my own... at least one better than I have now with is pretty desperate.

I love that new print...and I would totally by from a website of yours. I dont think that it necessarily has to be from Etsy...

I would shop wherever you have your stuff! I don`t need etsy. Just an easy way to pay!

Personally, I love shopping though Etsy...simply because it keeps everything in one spot and I don't have to remember another website. I shop TONS of artists through Etsy, but I can't think of an artist where I have independently bought through their website...I always lose their dang cards. : /

Thanks so much everyone. I'm glad the print has been "accepted" :)
Jenna- I'll definitely keep you posted on the progress. They have templates, you can use. I chose to go the harder route an customize an existing template. Its actually been pretty simple, but I'll let you know what I think a month from now! :)
Kristi- Yay! Thanks for that. :)
Mrs.Dragon- I can totally see your point. :)
