art - Jess Hutchison plush Guides

Jess Hutchison is an illustrator, avid knitter and author working primarily in textiles. We both share the fact we were born on Guam, frolicking on the beach as tots. How random is that? But I digress...

This collection of painted plush have the comforting appeal of the favorite stuffed animal, or pillow, that would help lull you to sleep. Their serene faces calm you as you drift off to lala-land.

art - MARS-1 Invisible Plan custom figures



** Sorry, sold out. **

Mario (aka MARS-1) created these awesome custom painted versions of his Invisible Plan figures. I'll have individual pics of each piece up soon, but thought I'd post a group shot of these amazingly detailed figures. These were not on display in the gallery, and available online only. Only one of each, and each figure is signed by the artist. SOLD

art - Allison Sommers paintings

Allison Sommers' art was quite a personal discovery for me, in that her process and themes evoke tinyshop in many ways. The most obvious feature is size. Not only is her work small in scale, but she paints with such minute detail -- and sometimes under a magnifying glass! I have much respect for honing a craft, and paying attention to the details.

As you move closer, the subject matter includes even smaller creatures and worlds that might fit right in your pocket. A whiff of fractured tales, Victorian flea circuses and the complicated dreams girls are made of...

Details:
- Gouache
- All pieces sized smaller than 6x6

art - Leah Brawley Friends


Leah Brawley's adorable Friends are reminiscent of folk art, and the vibrant characters of 1950's book illustrations. Each wooden figure is hand painted, fashionably turned out, and no two are alike.
