One last thing . . .

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

I forgot to mention in my last post how much I enjoyed the first annual Thumbtack Press Giving Challenge for St. Judes, they sent me a little thank you note (above) and I wanted to share it with you all since you helped raise the $1000 with me. Next year I’m going to double the [...]

2006 comes to a close

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

December was extraordinary. Not necessarily ‘good’ extraordinary, but extraordinary in the sense that it kicked my ass. My Son caught salmonella which, take my word for it, sucks hard. He’s OK now, in fact just a touch of this Satan-spawned bacteria is enough to give Daddy a full head of grey hairs. A representitive from [...]

Matthew Woodson

Friday, December 8th, 2006

In accordance with the Holiday Season and the Noel spirit I give you raw flesh, blood and marrow being gnarled by a ravenous beast. Tis’ Love according to Matthew Woodson, a brilliant artist as you can see. Not only is he creative with his ideas, but with his medium as well, this one was colored [...]

Lilly Piri’s Alice

Friday, December 8th, 2006

I’ve been bugging Lilly to get this image on the site for a while. We’ve lost one Alice image through the looking glass last month so I’m happy to welcome this one—in fact I whenever Lilly sends us new stuff I get giddy—don’t you? Ooooooo, and look! Lilly’s getting more contrast-y! Me like. www.thumbtackpress.com

Here’s the challenge: donate whatever [...]

New Prints from Oksana Badrak

Monday, December 4th, 2006

Get happy! Oksana Badrak has just added a dozen new prints to her tackboard and—whadda shocker!—they’re amazing!

Since you’re gonna ask for it anyway, I’ve already bundled her four Lost images for just over $100, or just get the whole set framed for about $450. That’ll take care of that one room you’ve always had in [...]

Worse Than a Papercut

Monday, December 4th, 2006

Steven E. Hughes sums up what many of us feel at work when the pressure’s on. This image reminds me of my favorite dirty joke, but since we are a PG-13 website I’ll just give you the punchline: Then Juan said “Sometime de Bull win!”

Give this to your boss - maybe then they’ll get the [...]

New Work by Chris Silas Neal

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006

The amazing Chris Silas Neal has made four new prints available on his tackboard. These two have (in my mind) a very specific message but since art is so relative to the beholder I’ll hold my thoughts. His talent, however, is not subjective. www.thumbtackpress.com

UPDATE: Thumbtack Press Giving Challenge

Saturday, December 2nd, 2006

Just a quick update that we have raised $935 for St. Judes to date!!! We are ahead of schedule but we haven’t made the cool grand yet. I’m looking for a mere $65 more dollars to fill that pesky test tube above. And thanks again to those who already met the challenge! Their names are [...]
