Hi from Karen
Well, it's been quite a while since we've updated this page, and it's about time that one of us got on it...especially with all of the exciting stuff that's been happening around here lately!

In between some really cool commissions, including a 3ft. kinetic action figure and a life-size bantam rooster, Brian's been meticulously working on some extremely technical 6 string electric guitars, and the results are truly outstanding! Check out his facebook fan page all this week, where I'll be posting the very first images of these completed beauties.

With all of these projects, it's hard to believe that the Portland Saturday Market will be starting up again in just a few short weeks. Brian's been stocking up on some market best sellers (silverware bowls, to be exact) but also has some amazing new pieces that we'll reveal to the public for the first time opening weekend. (Saturday, March 3rd and Sunday, March 4th. Visit portlandsaturdaymarket.com for more market details.)

I'm also happy to announce that we've created a new mailing list, where subscribers will enjoy email updates, discount and promotion offers, and info on upcoming events. (Preview: Look forward to a spring newsletter with info of our very first Home Gallery Opening!) You can subscribe right now by clicking the email list link on the right side of this page.

Another one of our many goals for 2012 is to finally finish up this website and to keep it updated, so look forward to that happening, too!

And, as always, we love your feedback! Brian gets most of his inspiration from his fans and critics, so let us know your thoughts and what you'd like to see more (or less!) of!

Thanks, everyone, for checking in! Can't wait to share more news as we venture further into what is sure to be a great year in art.

DEW Tour trophies
We still haven't figured out how to post pictures on this blog, so for now you'll have to venture over to facebook to check out our latest images. This week you can see the 1 of the 4 trophies that Travel Portland (travelportland.com) commissioned for the Portland segment of the DEW Tour. (allisports.com/dew-tour/event/portland-2011)

Still banging away at the rest of this summer's endless list of commissions, and loving all of the new space.

This week
Just a quick update to let everyone know that there will be some cool new product at Saturday Market tomorrow. The pieces we're excited about the most are the 20 and 27 in. long choppers! We'll post a picture soon, but they're much cooler in person, so come down this weekend and check them out!

First Post Intro
Hi Everyone and welcome to our new blog! We are Brian and Karen, and together we'll be posting frequent updates and musings to keep you informed and connected with what's going on here. (We'll also be including videos and images of new projects.)
We enjoy hearing your thoughts and comments, so feedback is strongly encouraged!
Thanks for checking this out, and remember to check back often. We promise, if you can pull yourselves away from facebook for just a few minutes each week, it'll be worth your while.

Thanks and see you soon!

Brian & Karen
