Winter Studio 2011

I snapped this photo this morning of my studio. As many of you know and those who don't, it sits in the left section of my home, here in Fort Worth Texas. We are experiencing snow and ice this past week, which keeps me all tied up between entertaining my boys and filling orders. Speaking of orders..these name banners below are a couple of some new ones being shipped out. I also have new characters that I introduced at some trade shows last week and were a huge hit. I'll be loading them on my ETSY shop over the weekend....so stay tuned.
Check out the new cowboy boot, this one is a girl version, but a boy one is available as well. The bumble and the heart are great too. Wait till you see the others I have...camper, fox, yellow bear, apple, pear ,and a few more. These name banners can be ordered through my ETSY shop. Or simply contact me at marnie@jaustinryan.com
Have a great super bowl weekend! Marnie V.

Snowed and Iced in :(

Just letting all my customers know to expect a 3-5 day delay on any orders that have shipped within the past 3 days. UPS and the postal service have notified me to let me know, since I'm a frequent customer. Texas, the Fort Worth area that I live in is under ice, which makes driving conditions horrible and in some areas not possible. I can't even ship out any more orders until this Friday..maybe. OK...now I'll go back to painting and hibernating.
Thanks for understanding- Marnie V.

Preparing for 2 Shows...:)

I'm busy preparing for two shows at this very moment and through next week. One is in Dallas and the other in Los Angeles. Show preparation is extremely exhausting and exciting all in one. The excitement honestly is what keeps me going. I have some new products that I'm introducing to my stores and I'll post some pictures next week. They and the rest of the world are going to love them! Well, I'm off to Dallas today to repaint the showroom wall and start setting up....start...I only said start...much to do.

Have a great day! Marnie V.

Happy New Year Everyone!

First Original Painting for 2011-" I Love My Moose "

Hello everyone! Happy New Year! It's been a while since I've been on the blog but it's great to be back. We had a busy holiday and was surprised with family house guests....it was great. I love my family and was so happy to see them this holiday season.
I'm also very excited for 2011! It's busy for me as I'm still working at the swim school and preparing for two shows for my wholesale accounts. And my ETSY..of course. I have lots of new little paintings that I'll be loading daily and I'm very excited to introduce many more large paintings of Hawk and his friends. Hawk is going to start traveling! That's right! His first stop is New York...I can't wait to show you what I've been working on. I'll also be delivering new art to some galleries in which those will be posted for anyone to purchase as well.

My website www.jaustinryan.com is also being updated. It actually almost got hacked into and google stopped...thanks Google! So now we are updating the entire website! Hooray!

Please stay tuned and I'm off to get ready for the Rose Bowl today...TCU baby..GO FROGS!
