The MINI BUS ROLLS arrive. For that past year I have had a giant crush on vintage BUS ROLLS. I just love 'em. I must have been a bus driver in a past life. I created a full size replica for our home and just mush + melt in the graphic black + white nature of these typographic beasts. While they typically have route stops or bus locations - I couldn't stop thinking about how they would translate a verse. Magically. I really wanted to offer full-sized GIANT bus rolls, but they are just TOO much; too much time, too much RAM, too much cost, insane shipping, etc and I am a starving artist with babies. ENTER THE MINI BUS ROLLS. These little dudes are pretty much TO DIE FOR. I think I let out a little peep of JOY when I picked mine up from the printers. They have one of my painted backgrounds which gives them a little more depth than flat black and completely crosses them over from what-the-heck-is-a-bus-roll to WOW-what-a-radical-little-piece-of-art. They are a manageable + interest-piquing 6 x 18 inches tall just waiting to be framed or block mounted or stapled up to your walls. I love them so much I did 7 different designs AND - wait for it:
A CUSTOMIZABLE OPTION!
Booyah. I'm pretty excited. Here are the 7 new designs...
[Click to enlarge for better viewing.]
Pretty! I have ALL 7 DESIGNS up in my studio, one in my bedroom and three on the main floor. They are crisp glossy, professional prints that will surprise you with their beauty. Mark my words. The SHIPPING IS INCLUDED**. If you're interested in getting a jump on their official release - YOU CAN ORDER THEM NOW. Please choose the BUS ROLL number from the drop-down menu when you ADD TO CART. [ 1. Welcome. 2. Joy. 3. Love. 4. Nevermind. 5. A Mother*. 6. Little One. 7. Monkeys. ] If you would like the CUSTOMIZABLE option - you can choose that in the pull down menu as well***.
*5. The Mother print has one small change: the line "but is without bound" reads "but is BOUNDLESS".** Shipping costs have gone up quite a bit. It's between $8-13 to mail prints of this size these days. These prints arrive rolled in a mailing tube.
***The CUSTOMIZABLE MINI BUS ROLL OPTION: The CUSTOMIZABLE MINI BUS ROLL is a great option if you want to do DESTINATIONS, or NAMES, or GRANDCHILDREN, or JOBS, or BIRTHDAYS or a favourite poems or other things like that. A CUSTOM MINI BUS ROLL will be limited to 15 lines and you'll have to give me some artistic freedom with the type breaks (a digital proof will be provided). This option is a pretty unforgettable keepsake or gift. The shipping is included.

Today: I am working on Tiny Art today and drinking as much delicious tea as humanly possible. My brain is finally getting the hang of working every other day. It was tough at first to STOP and then GO and then STOP and then GO, but I have settled in as best I can and take advantage of each and every working minute. It's good. Three cheers for Wednesday!
Happy Birthday Marsha!
GO!
