Artisit Outpost- New Release And Blog Hop

May means summer at Artistic Outpost. We love the warmer weather, however, as we write this it has rained for 48 hours straight. Bring on the SUN!!!

Our two brand new releases for the season are sure to become some of your new favorites celebrating heroes of different kinds, the boys of summer and our armed forces. We are pleased to release Cracker Jack & She-roes.

Enjoy Cracker Jack...
Our love of baseball runs deep. Childhoods were spent at the ballpark either playing ourselves or watching our brothers. At the turn of the century, when baseball became an American passion, gentleman wore hats and ties to the game, the players rode the subway to Ebbets field in Brooklyn, and there was no such thing as the "replay".

We hope you enjoy this collection, inspired by the great players, and the original ball clubs that inspired a nation.

A little about She-roes...
Women have always carried half the sky. During WWII, women began carrying their half in the armed forces as well. Whether they were nursing the sick or flying in the Women's Air Corp, this collection celebrates our "she-roes".

Both collection are available in unmounted sheets or pre-cut on EZ Mount cling foam.

As we celebrate both our new summer releases as well as our new website, we're offering 20% off both the unmounted and mounted versions of Cracker Jack and She-roes.

Please enter the following coupon code at check-out: cj-sr-20off

We are also offering 20% the purchase of both She-roes and Hero unmounted sets. This is a special item in our store located here. (Please note you can not combine the coupon code with this set. However, you can purchase this bundle at 20% off and use the coupon code to purchase Cracker Jack.)

Triptych Gourd- Tribute to My Heritage

I thought it was time to post more of my wildlife art. This is a gourd I did, My heritage is part Indian so I wanted to create a piece that has special meaning to me. I wood burned the Cougar, Wolf and Bear, then painted them with acrylics. I surrounded each with Indian Symbol's. I then wove pine needles along the top of the gourd and finished it off with laced leather and a bear claw and feathers.Its rather large.approximately 16" tall.
