Hansma Illustration

Every last one of my regular size (5x7” through 8x10”) archival prints are now for sale on Etsy. Not only are all the prints left in my possession listed, there will be no more full size prints made of these paintings ever again. Ever. This is it, folks. After these sell new prints of different paintings will be released in numbered limited edition runs only.

I do also have limited edition (runs of 10) mini prints that will be available online soon.

Check out what I have left in stock here!

Wait, you don’t know what paczki are? Dude, no. It doesn’t matter that you aren’t Polish. Neither am I! Hell, I’m not Catholic either, but this is Detroit. We celebrate Fat Tuesday. No ifs, ands, or buts. Besides, those things are friggin’ delicious.

Personally, I think Don Draper’s real secret is that he is actually a bunny. It explains why he can be such a dick yet everyone still loves him. If you have a pet bunny you understand. Trust.

The last 7x5” Mad Bun print is now for sale on Etsy.

As far as the Moleskinerie logo contest is concerned, we would like to clarify that since the nature of Moleskinerie has always been participative, made up of passionate contributions and voluntary submissions, we decided to let the community participate again in creating the new logo of the blog. We decided to collaborate with Designboom to do so, a leading online design magazine, which is well aware of how to run a contest of this kind.

Moleskine wants you to design their new logo for free

(via Moleskine’s own Facebook Page)

Earlier this week you may have heard a similar story about the Obama campaign asking designers to create posters on spec to help promote jobs creation of all things (feel free to read my steam-blowing-out-of-my-ears rant about that on my Google+ page), and now you can add MOLESKINE to this camp too.

I admit, long ago as a young illustrator I too fell for this crap and please believe me when I say it’s a mistake. I will never change my mind about how working artists should never bother supporting such “spec-work-disguised-as-contests.” Contests are one thing, and they can be good. Volunteering your talents is another thing, and it’s good. But creating a logo or any branding collateral for a big company for free, and knowing that the other 99.99% “losers” will essentially be tossed into the trash is just stupid, and it’s offensive that any company would think it’s OK. It’s a terrible way for you to run your business. And when you freelance you are running a business.

^ All of this. I couldn’t say it better myself.

If Captain Mal Reynolds were a bunny…
he’d probably look like this painting.

Some shots from the opening of Day of the Dead at Starkweather Arts Center in Romeo, MI. Exhibit will be on display until November 5th.

I’ll be posting shots from the opening all day today, but I want to first reblog this because I think KT was smart enough to get some images I failed to. I think I may have to go back and reshoot some art in the daylight.
