  • Hipster X-Mas Cards

    Ready to celebrate the Christmas holiday in ambiguously misunderstood style?  Well, you need not wait any longer.  Those edgy, yet, effortless “Hipster X-Mas” cards and ornaments are here!  You can find them by clicking on the images or just go directly to the site where you may customize colors, wording and font:

    If there is anything you’d like to see on a hipster X-Mas card that can’t be found, feel free to make a request: ellen@actsofpaint.com

    Please note: I haven’t yet begun a line for the Hipster Jewish, Taoist, Muslim, or Hindu holidays (however, Future-Me will eventually get around to making some of those as well).
    I’d like to make one final note: since creating a “reply to comment” button on this site has been low on my priority list, I am unable to reply directly to your comments.  Though, I greatly enjoy getting comments, until I find the time to make a reply-button, please e-mail me directly with any questions or concerns.  Thanks for reading!

  • Birth of Venus Remake

    BirthOfVenus

    Fish-style version of epic paintings about the birth of Venus. I used both the Botticelli and Poussin versions as inspiration and reference to create this piece.

    The making of this idea began with a need for something ‘epic’ and evolutionary to set above our fireplace. I hope it’s epic enough to be hung within a fancy gold frame once we are done re-furnishing the parlor.
