Thanks to Seth Apter for a Great Two Months!

This is CT Nan with a short post (running late!) to thank Seth Apter for a fabulous two months of his sponsorship!  We have all had a fantastic time making projects with Seth's awesome projects!  Even Evil Froggy has made some art journal pages :) 


This canvas painted with Grumbacher acrylic paints and Transparentizer, has one of Seth's Large Journal Coins with are so great!  I  can't keep from stamping them up and playing!

So thanks to Seth Apter for the fun and thanks to all of you who entered and good luck!  I know you can't wait to see who gets a prize from Seth Apter!

Have a wonderful March from Dream in Darkness and just a hint:  March has a special surprise, also, so don't miss checking us out tomorrow!

Red Against the World

CT Nan today with a mixed emotions canvas.  It is the holiday season and to some it is bringing extreme joy and for many others it can be causing pain and turmoil.  So using my Grumbacher acrylic paints and Transparentizer along with the Art Sherpa's guidance on Youtube, I painted a canvas showing Red Riding Hood as she looks into the dark woods with a strong wind blowing against her back pushing her along toward a destiny that she may dread but does not back down from.


Maybe Krampus is waiting around the bend instead of the wolf?  Maybe a reoccurring nightmare that plaques her?  But she chooses to face it in her heels (my kind of gal!) so I think she has the guts to defeat whatever the enemy might be!

Still lots and lots of time to play this month!  Another winner will be chosen for the Grumbacher supplies so grab your paper and markers or paint and get messy and inky whatever it takes to get an entry into the frog!  Be on the lookout for a close friend of his to make an appearance in about a week!  That is a friendly shout out or warning...even we don't know which one it is!

Merry Creepmas!

It's November and Grumbacher is Here to Sponsor Us!

Thanks to all who visited and commented on our projects for the 31 Days of Halloween!  We had a blast and enjoyed every spine tingling moment of it!  Now we are all a tingle over our brand new sponsor for November and December!  Grumbacher has given the team some wonderful paints and supplies to work and play with and that means that the winner of November and the winner of December's challenges will also receive Grumbacher goodies to play with!



Since 1905, Grumbacher has been a brand trusted by students, professors, art conservationists, and professional artists throughout the US.  Max Grumbacher established his company’s humble beginnings by hand making brushes at his kitchen table in New York City.  By the 1960s Grumbacher became an art materials empire offering artists nearly every supply imaginable. Today, the Grumbacher brand is owned by Chartpak, Inc., a creative products company committed to adhering to the impeccable standards set by Max Grumbacher.  Chartpak Inc. welcomes the responsibility for ensuring Grumbacher’s continued legacy as an American tradition. We lead the way by setting strict standards of exemplary quality and consistent performance for our materials. Our standards of quality and excellence have resulted in the Grumbacher brand becoming an American tradition.
We take great satisfaction in knowing that artists trust our brand when creating their artwork. Our multi-media products, educational services, and online artists’ community (thalo) exemplify Grumbacher’s commitment to growing and adapting to the ever-changing environment of the fine and graphic art industries.
We take pride in being an American art material manufacturer and a leader in the industry.

Now it is time for us to show you the fun we have had trying the some fabulous new products to us and some more traditional ones!  We want to start out with CT Granne's amazing utterly fabulous painting using the Grumbacher Max Oil Paints that are easily cleaned with water so no horrid fumes while working with it!


CT Nan did an 11 x14 canvas titled "Rivers of Tears and Tornado of Emotions" also using the wonderfully easy to work with Max Oil Paints by Grumbacher!


CT Kim is bringing us...

a snippet stolen from Evil Frogster's mangy claws...



CT Anne... is still suffering from all that pink, and Evil Froggy is having trouble getting her Grumbacher palette knives back from the real frogs.  He may have the bigger motorcycle, but those bigger palette knives are fantastic at spreading petrol through their engines in a hurry!



We hope you will check out the links to Grumbacher and see the vast array of supplies that they carry!  And of course, we want to see what you have to inspire us with this month!  As usual, the theme in "Anything Goes" just no cute but show us your oddities, weird stuff, dark, goth, steampunk, oh my, all the alternatives that are out there!  And remember we so accept 100% digital works, also!  But the catch is you have to enter to win.....not a real big catch but a necessary one!  The winner of each month will receive Grumbacher  supplies fresh from the store!  So once Evil Froggy is back with his accomplice CT Anne, we are going to let him handle all his inbox entries...sooooo, it is up to you now!
