Here is a sign I made to hang with the 15 pieces I have on display...



Many thanks to members here who have bought pieces and sent me encouraging messages these past months - I really appreciate it!

Secret Artifact #4 now available - "King of Coins"

This design is based on a playing card made by the Apache Indians of the American west in the 1800's.

It also carries some meaning as a Tarot card design, and I feel whoever owns one of these will attract wealth and abundance! ;D

The card is cut out of a separate piece of heavyweight paper and mounted above the background, so it "floats" and gives the appearance of an actual card instead of just a painting of a card.

The fourth in my "Secret Artifact" series - Only 25.00 usd + shipping - If you buy more than one artifact from my website, you only pay shipping for the first one.

You're a grafter JA and true to the style. Keep up the good work.

[Johnston America]

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment elwheel, and for the compliment - It's very much appreciated!

I certainly have put many, many long hours into each piece I make - but I have never been afraid to roll up my sleeves and get to work. I believe that the finished product shows how much effort I put in, and I'm never satisfied with a quick or makeshift process. Why rush through a project just to get to the next if the outcome is not good?

Thanks again - You made my day!

Here's a picture of my booth set up at an Art fair I was part of this past weekend. I had it set up to look like an old, mystical shop.

I especially like the way my "Secret Artifact" display came out - custom boxes and counter.

[Johnston America]

One of the nice things about the Secret Artifact paintings is that they aren't huge. They look fantastic in those small nooks around the house where a larger piece of art just won't fit.

Here is my Snake Oil (Secret Artifact 1) hanging in our dining room - right between 2 windows. The perfect fit! I framed all of my own personal Artifacts with a simple black frame on black foamcore board - no glass or mat. I think they look sharp that way - and it keeps the costs down. All in all, a great way to add some spark to a little space that was bare and boring before!

[Johnston America]

Just finished up Secret Artifact #5 - Shotgun Girl. An edition of 50, it's a combination of painting and hand pulled silk screen.

These are only 25.00 each - But I'm running a special on my website right now where you can get it free when you buy the rest of my Secret Artifacts. So basically, 5 for the price of 4, an instant collection! Or you can keep your favorite and give the rest away as gifts to friends and family.

Here is the link for the whole set: johnstonamerica.com/Secret%20Artifacts%20Package.html

Or if you'd just like this one you can see more here: johnstonamerica.com/Shotgun%20Girl%20Artifact%205.html

I'm running a fun little special this weekend - Every order includes a free Good Luck Charm I hand made from stoneware clay. I distressed the graphic a touch to make them look old and well worn..

Also, if anyone in the UK orders more than one item on my site, you'll only pay shipping for the first, I'll take care of the rest.

Here is a pic of one of the charms - Thanks for checking it out!

Hey Everyone -

I just finished up my latest pieces on wood - The Old Crow Hill Brilliant Idea Co.

I made 11 blue, 11 red, 11 green, 10 grey, and 9 yellow.  They come fully framed so you don't have to spend money on framing and you can hang yours up the day you receive it. They are about 16" square and "dirtied" up a bit to make them look old.




I also printed up a few T-shirts with the grey background and if you buy a painting you get a FREE shirt! The framed painting plus the T-shirt is priced at $50.00 + shipping.


 
You can see more details on my webpage here: Old Crow Hill Brilliant Idea Co.

I'm giving away one of these + a shirt this Sunday on my Facebook page - If you'd like a chance to grab one of these for free all you have to do is "like" my page and leave a comment below the picture you'll see there.

These 2 recent paintings are a bit more abstract than my usual work but they were so much fun I plan on doing some more soon..

This one is called "Tar Pit" and is 5 different kinds of black paint. I even painted the frame in places to make it look like the "tar" is seeping out.



This one is called "Where the Earth Kisses the Sky"
