The makers of the first talking board asked the board what they should call it; the name “Ouija” came through and, when they asked what that meant, the board replied, “Good luck.” This t-shirt takes one of the oldest talking board designs and makes it wearable along with some thoughtful chips and wear to give it some vintage cred. Good bye.

Just a couple of misfits, rebelling against the status quo. Taking a stand against bullies. They were punk before anyone knew what punk was. Rudolph and Hermey showed Christmas Town a thing or two. Now you can show people how punk you are, this holiday season, with this nod to the classic punk band Misfits' tshirt. There are color and white print versions of both Rudolph the Reindeer and Hermey the Elf.

This view comes from a walk along the main shopping street in St Ives (Cornwall, UK) at around 10pm on a Summer's evening. Despite the late hour plenty of pubs and restaurants are open, and plenty of people are walking around. I caught this moment when there were just a couple of people present so as to add character without detracting from the atmospheric lighting. Painted in oil on board 12 x 16 inches

I spotted this view on my first trip to St Ives, back in 1998, and took a photo of the lines draped across the beach whilst the boats were out fishing. I thought that one day it would make a good tall painting. 20+ years later, I've got round to doing it, and here is the result, painted in oil on a 12x24 inch board. For the artists out there, the sand is naples yellow and white. For the wet parts I've added mauve and cobalt blue, and some vandyke brown to darken the foreground. For the sea I've used viridian and ultramarine.
