Here's the art that I did for my new Tickler Ukulele T-shirts. This is an ink drawing of "Bubble Gum Music", one of my "Little Pierrot" paintings. (They are for sale here on my website, plus free postcards.) The number two Tickler Ukulele will be unveiled in February! Brand new design with a genuine mother-of-toilet seat fingerboard.
P.S.The shirts have been selling fast! I've been very busy packing and shipping for the last week.

Tickler Ukulele Artist T-shirts by Amy Crehore

My new t-shirts are now available on my new website. They look really great in person. Beautiful colors. Nice print job. Just right. Unisex sizes. Pre-shrunk, heavy 100% cotton.
P.S. For those of you who haven't been following, I started the "Tickler" ukulele brand in 2007. The first Tickler Ukulele appeared back in July. It was a hand-painted fine art model, designed by me and built by a luthier. The Number Two Tickler Uke will be a completely different design (including a mother-of-toilet-seat fingerboard). It is due out in February, 2008. I had these t-shirts printed up for fun, combining my Tickler logo and an ink drawing I did based on a painting from my "Little Pierrot Series".

The Comic Art of Evan Evans

The Ice Skate 2006 by Evan Evans
Okay. I found this comic artist talking favorably about my new t-shirt on the Ukulele Forum at King David Ukulele Station , a French Uke blog.
Evan Evans has a handful of great comics on his blog - like the one above.
He needs to update his blog or he will never be able to compete at the blogger festival, but as far as his comics go, they are very clever and well-drawn!
So, have a look at the Comic Art of Evan Evans

"Laugh-Out-Loud-Cats" Book

"Adam 'Ape Lad' Koford's Laugh-Out-Loud Cats are now available in book form. 'I'm selling signed and drawn in copies on my blog, or unsigned and undrawn in copies via Lulu,' says the author/illustrator." Link. (via boingboing)
I can't wait for my copy to arrive. And neither can my cat. It will be a treat.

The Royal Collection

1725, Great Hogfish, Mark Catesby , Purchased by George III
If you have some free time on your hands, it's worth taking a tour through Watercolors and Drawings from the
Royal Collection
And then when you are done with that, you can look through the rest of their e-gallery.
Amazing amount of good stuff.
