My last art show is over for the year and it was fun. I had a roomie in my booth, my friend Amelia and I shared a booth. That makes the day go by a lot more smooth and it’s also more fun to have someone to laugh and gripe with. Sales were decent and I did more face painting which is such a kick. I even wore my own snowflake glitter tattoos. Fun 🙂
If you saw my last post, it was about a painting of a pirate ship I did. I put that painting on a box and many other illustrations with it. It was the very first piece to sell and here it is 🙂
I used prints of my original paintings and illustrations so I can recreate this box, although it wouldn’t be identical which I don’t want anyway.
I’m linking to Paint Party Friday =) Check out the talent!
How fun! Thanks for sharing this, Happy PPF!
I bet your son loves this sort of treasure box!
wow no wonder that was first to sell… it looks amazing and I am sure it will be treasured… sorry about that… have a weakness for bad puns… forgive me please… I so don’t want to be made to walk the plank… I am hilarious I know…xx
Jaime, long tome no see! That’s a cool treasure box! Happy PPF and Merry Christmas!
This is fantastic!! I love wooden boxes and with your pirate illustrations on it, it looks amazing!!
Ooh this is a real treasure chest!! I can see exactly why it sold so quickly – if I’d have been there I would have grabbed it too!
This piece is terrific! No wonder it sold first. Glad you had a fun show.

You are a fabulous illustrator AND writer, Jaime…
an Mom…and
DID YOU EVER THINK OF WRITING? ILLUSTRATING A CHILDREN’S BOOK????
Put that on your to-do list. My Dad always wished for me to do it, but it’s not in my imagination…YOU can do it. ♥♥♥
Your painting of everything is so precise, I am absolutely in love with all of it. The ship is brilliant, the telescope, oh my, love the pirate and the map, oh my, just great. I can see why it sold right away. It appeals to our pirate mystery thoughts. Blessings, Janet PPF
Oh I just ADORE your pirate box, sooooooo cool !!! Yes those shows are so much better with a friend! Glad you did good! Deb
Awesome!! What a great idea.
WOW! These are simply awesome!!!! 🙂 It’s no wonder they sold so quickly. Congrats!!!
You are getting really good at this! This box is adorable. Good photos too. This looks like a perfect project for Etsy and don’t give them bargain basement prices. A lot of work goes into one of these! Good job!
