Fire’s Remorse
This is our newest piece and it’s hard to believe but this one sold out within just a couple hours at the Philly Oddities and Curiosities Expo. Both prints and our framed pieces. Sold out even faster than Going Stag No. 1 which has been our best selling piece at every market we’ve vended at since I created it last year.

Memento Mori
This is one of our mini 4x6 prints. The original painting is titled Pearl of Grief and was created by Mary Jane Peale in 1855. Mary Jane hailed from a prominent family of painters and in fact, another of our pieces, Swarm Wishes, was created using a portrait of her father, Rubens Peale, painted by her uncle, Rembrandt Peale.

Source cards
Did you know that —with the exception of our mini-prints—each of our prints comes with a list of the original historical public domain imagery we utilized to create that piece of art? Some of them are short and may only reference one or two sources (either because that’s all of the PD imagery utilized or because we simply couldn’t track down accurate source info for one or more of the elements), and some, like this one, are rife with sources.

The morbs
“The morbs” is slang of the Victorian Era that indicates that someone is feeling temporarily depressed, melancholy or sad. “The British lexicographer Susie Dent described ‘having the morbs’ as ‘to sit under a cloud of despondency.’

Touch Grass
Do you ever stumble on a process video in your feed and you’re like, oh ok, I’m interested, I’ll stop. And so you cash in a few minutes of your time because now you’re invested and curious about what this thing will be and look like in the end, and then you see the final product and think, well shit, meh. Wish I could have previewed this before I wasted a few of my precious minutes watching something being created that I’m not really into.

Femina Marina
For this new piece, I employed a 19th century cigarette ad!

Hangry
This was painted around 1820 near Madrid by Francisco Goya and called Saturn Devouring His Son. It was actually painted on one of the walls of his home at the time and later transferred to canvas after his death.

Gold foil
My relationship to gold foil is about the same as my relationship to cigar boxes. An intense love/hate kinda thing.

Time is the Devourer of Things
Here’s a fun fact: I’ve been working on this piece for a while and it’s definite contender for top personal favorite. And you know what? The layered file of this piece is nearly a GIG in size.

Going Stag No. 2
Introducing the newest in our Going Stag series!

Childbirth and Puerperal Fever
Hundreds of years ago, when men calling themselves doctors decided to rob childbirth from the midwives and bring it into hospitals, the maternal mortality rate skyrocketed due to something called puerperal (or childbed) fever, a bacterial infection of the female reproductive tract following childbirth.

Gaunt Jaunt
Gaunt Jaunt, our newest art collage!

New Life to Old Frames
Just as we’ve preferred to upcycle used cigar boxes for our engraved boxes, we also love to repurpose old frames we find at local thrift and antique stores to display and sell our work at art markets.

Paper and the Birdcage
As an artist and graphic designer, paper is incredibly important to me. I began my career 20 years ago just as digital was creeping into our lives and have watched, despairingly, as printing on paper has gradually lessened and lessened in preference for the digital realms.

Going Stag
Introducing our newest piece: Going Stag utilizing John Singer Sargent’s classic, Madame X.

Anatomicam Cardiocorum Nervorum
Adding some color and depth to this 1794 illustration, Tabulae Nevrologicae ad Illustrandam Historiam Anatomicam Cardiocorum Nervorum by Antonio Scarpa.

Insect and Terrarium Building
Several weeks ago Mike and I took an Insect and Terrarium Building class at Black Moth here in Tulsa and not only had a blast and met some really great people, but learned so much too.

Maria Celeste
I have become enchanted by this woman because of her unique position, straddling the worlds of both science and religion, in 17th century Italy.

Eye and Amazonite
Did you know the original engraving of this eye was created in the 1600s? I feel like someone is staring at me from 400 years in the past.

Nitimur in Vetitum
Father’s Day gift for a family member: Custom designed, laser engraved cigar box.
