Yesterday I painted six new ACEO‘s. These were all done with black acrylic ink over a spray painted background.

By definition ACEO’s are small. They have to be 2.5″ x 3.5″ to qualify as a true ACEO. I think it’s super fun to make these small paintings. If you are looking for something larger you can see all of my available originals at http://www.etsy.com/shop/jeffclaassen?section_id=5058508.

This past weekend I was on this spray paint and ink on paper kick. I still have a bunch of spray painted pieces of paper I need to add ink to, but I thought I’d show you the first batch.

This post is dedicated to ACEO’s, which is something I’ve never done before. I’ve painted plenty of small things, but never in the ACEO format.

I don’t know if this is considered “upcycling” or “recycling”, but I do know that it’s better to make a fun artsy thing out of something that was headed to the landfill.

Viva la art nerd!

“I Painted A Paint Brush”
House paint and ink on used paint brush.
$40, plus shipping
To purchase please visit: my etsy shop.

From the end of handle to the bottom of the bristles is 9.5″. This is a 3″ wide brush.

This is a one of a kind, hand painted original.
This listing does not include the small red brush or the bottle of ink, sorry!

We recently painted some rooms in our house and normally I wash out brushes when I’m done painting. Somehow, a couple of them slipped by. After three days of ripping out carpet, painting walls and staining the wood floor I was just too tired to wash out a couple of brushes. When I found them the other day with the bristles stuck together by dried paint I was, at first, bummed that I was too lazy to clean the brushes and now had to toss them in the trash. Then I realized I could paint one of my little characters on the bristles since the dried paint had made them permanently stuck in their position.

There is a hole at the top of the handle so this can easily hang on nail. The bristles are also stiff enough that you can display the brush simply by leaning it against something.

Enjoy!
Thanks for looking!

Art Nerd holding new painting, looking super tough.

I started this a couple of nights ago and finished it this afternoon. My idea was to start and finish in one sitting. Then I remembered I have three kids, one of which is seven months old. Then I laughed at myself for thinking such crazy thoughts.

I thought it would be fun to make some “heart” paintings for Valentine’s Day this year. This is the first one I’ve come up with.

It’s available for $30 in my etsy shop.

Yes, it’s a totally awesome perfect gift for that special someone you adore.

Enjoy!

A few years ago I made some Valentine’s Day buttons and they turned out to be pretty popular so I decided to make some new ones this year. Just a little upgrade, if you will. My personal favorite is “Love me! Or I’ll bite your face off!” Did I mention that wearing one of these will almost certainly get you some action this Valentine’s Day. I mean, seriously, who in their right mind can pass up an offer like, “If you take off your shirt I’ll take off mine.”?

Each pack includes 5 buttons total, one of each design.
$5 per pack, plus shipping.

If you’d like to order a pack simply click on the above photo or visit my etsy shop. They are also available in my shop/gallery in downtown SLO.

Thanks for looking and enjoy!
