I’ve been going through some boxes the past couple of days and in my digging around I found some of these shirts. If I remember correctly I printed these in 2011. I only found 3 in a men’s size medium and I put them up on etsy for $9 each, with free shipping to any US address.
To order please visit the shop.
Thanks for looking!

“Let’s Skank”
6″ x 6″ – mixed media on wood, signed on the back.
$65, plus shipping
This guy unintentionally ended up looking like Tim Armstrong to me, from Operation Ivy and Rancid fame, which should explain the title, “Let’s Skank”.
According to Urban Dicitonary:
“Skanking” – The bizarre, wild dance done to the music known as Ska. Not to be confused with a, “skank” skanking resembles running in place while flailing your arms. While popular at Ska shows, it is more acceptable at other mixed venues to simply join the mosh. Unskilled skankers are sometimes mistaken for seizure victims.
This is a one of a kind original painting on pine wood. The edges have been painted black and the surface has been coated with a thick layer of clear plastic resin. The resin coating provides a protective high gloss finish. It basically looks like a yummy piece of shiny candy.
Wire has been attached to the back so this is ready to hang right out of the package.
To purchase please order online at: https://www.etsy.com/listing/152348985/original-lets-skank.
Happy Skankin’!

Just finished a mini series of 3 paintings. They are all approximately 4″ x 4″. And here they are…
“Poet Laureate”
$30, plus shipping
order here
“I’m Beaked”
$30, plus shipping
order here
“I Eat Coyote”
$30, plus shipping
order here
The term “series” is used loosely here. In this case it basically means I used the same colors for all three pieces, so they match each other. If I really wanted to nerd out I could make up a story to tie the three paintings together. Something like…
The poet befriended a man that eats coyotes and together they went bird hunting. The coyote eater showed the snobby poet the beauty and pleasure of hunting your own prey to feed your family with. And you know, it really says a lot about American society and how the majority of people are too lazy to befriend others face to face and that we prefer buying cooked chickens at Costco as opposed of shooting down birds on our own for dinner. Something like that.
That’s right, our deadline countdown has turned from “days to go” to “hours to go” and we’ve got 48 of them, just like Eddie Murphy.
If you’d like to help out in making the project happen here is a list of goodies available to purchase, all of which will go towards bringing “The Puzzle Painting” to life.
- Digital Badges
- Bottle Opener Keychain
- Sticker Pack
- Greeting Cards
- T-Shirt
- Card Case
- Wallet
- and of course, the actual original paintings that will be The Puzzle Painting. Available in the following sizes:
- 4″ x 4″
- 6″ x 6″
- 8″ x 8″
- 12″ x 12″
- 16″ x 16″
The project has been fully funded for a couple of weeks, but that doesn’t mean to stop contributing. The $4000 goal is the minimum amount needed to make the project happen. Anything extra will just make the project all the more awesome. If you haven’t already, please check out the video to learn more about The Puzzle Painting.
There is A LOT more info on the actual Project Page.

It took awhile, but I finally ordered myself one of my own iphone cases from Society 6. I must say, they are legit!
I currently have 45 cases available right now, so there is a BIG selection. Take a look at them right here: http://society6.com/JeffClaassen/cases.
Thanks for looking!

I am so incredibly excited that my project has been fully funded. Although, now that it is fully funded it no longer feels like my project. It is now OUR project because you are the ones that have made The Puzzle Painting become a reality. Because of that I have decided to add a couple of bonus rewards in limited amounts. What are the new rewards? I’m glad you asked. I’ve added card cases and wallets using the same graphic that’s on the T-shirt. Check it out…
“Let’s Kick It Card Case”
“Let’s Kick It Wallet”
There are only 20 available for each. Hopefully, they sell out in 10 seconds like a Taylor Swift concert. Oh wait, I’m not a pretty young blonde that sings pop love songs.
If you’ve already backed the project and would like to add one of these to your pledge simply add $12 for the card case or $17 for the wallet. There has been some confusion with backers changing their reward when they decided to add an item to their pledge. Trust me, it’s much easier to keep the same reward and just add the extra amount. Also, just so you know, the reward you choose is not set in stone. Once the project deadline happens and the funds are released I will send out a survey asking you exactly what you’d like. If you have any questions please visit the project page and send me a message.

This weekend was very exciting because “The Puzzle Painting” reached it’s funding goal of $4k! Yes, I did a few cartwheels and squealed like a little girl at a Taylor Swift concert. Thanks to all of you that have backed this project and shared it with your friends.
The really cool thing about reaching this goal early is that we still have 17 days left to continue to raise money for the project, which is great because the whole idea was to make a HUGE painting. The more people that back the project the bigger the painting will be.
If you would like to support the project, but don’t want a piece of the puzzle there are some other fun things available like an exclusive bottle opener keychain, sticker packs, greeting cards and also an exclusive t-shirt design.
Check out The Puzzle Painting project at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jeffclaassen/the-puzzle-painting
Please keep sharing the link on your social media outlets like twitter, google+, facebook, tumblr, etc.
Thanks again!
All of your support really means a lot to me!

I haven’t had shirts made in about 3 years. Mostly because I had to put my printer in storage. I thought it would be fun to offer an exclusive shirt as part of my “Puzzle Painting” project. This time around I’ll get them printed by The Shirt Peddler, which is a local SLO business. They’re good people.
I made the above drawing for the shirt graphic and it’s already been sold on Kickstarter, but I’ll be taking orders of the actual shirt for the next 17 days. This is exclusive to backers on Kickstarter, so the only way to get one is to order it before May 23, 2013.
I love soft tees and I’m sure you do too, so I will be using the Tri-Blend Tee from American Apparel. It’s probably my most favorite shirt of all time. This will be a two color (black and white ink) print on Athletic Grey tee. It will be available in men’s (size xs, s, m, l, xl) and women’s (size s, m, l, xl). Once the campaign ends I will post an update with specific sizing information so you know what size will be best for you.
If you’d like to get in on the action and pick up a shirt or two please visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jeffclaassen/the-puzzle-painting. When you click that link you’ll see all the “reward” options on the right side of the screen, including the shirt.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thanks!

Yes, throw pillows!!!
Use these to drool on when you pass out on your couch watching reruns of Friends. Use them to throw at your kids when they get out of line. Use them to juggle. As you can see the uses of throw pillows are truly endless.
Just so you know, Society 6 is a third party “print on demand” website. What that means is that I do not make these myself and do not keep them in stock in my studio. Everything is done through Society 6. All orders have to go through them.
I should warn you, be on the lookout for the drop down menu!
In the menu there is an option to order just the pillow cover without an actual pillow insert. That’s the default option, so if you want an actual pillow please be sure to choose that option in the drop down menu.
Hopefully it’s not that confusing.
If you’d like to purchase a pillow or two please visit http://society6.com/JeffClaassen/pillows.
Currently I have 12 pillow options available. If there is a favorite art piece of mine you’d like to see as a pillow let me know. If I have a high quality photo of it on my computer I’ll upload it as a pillow option.
Thanks for the support!

I have these two paintings that are both 4′ x 5′, which is kind of large.
(This photo is to show scale. Oh, and my pretty face.)
I’ve displayed them in multiple places around town (Kruezberg CA, Picking Daisies, Batch and my own gallery), but have yet to sell them. They’ve been priced at $1800 (worth every penny and probably more), but they are now a few years old and I am tired of hauling them from place to place downtown with my hand truck. So, I have dropped the price to $600 each.
“Time Without You Drags Me Down”
48″ x 60″ – mixed media on wood
To purchase this please message me.
“A Delicate Place”
48″ x 60″ – mixed media on wood
To purchase this please message me.
Because of the size of these shipping could get expensive, so local pick up is suggested. If you live far away from SLO and need one of these shipped please let me know and I will get a quote from UPS.
Thanks for looking!
