New shirts!

check it out... here's the full shirt: brown, short sleeves, reverse seams like all the kids are wearing.






they come in two colors. light blue and pink!













cute, eh? i only made 16 of them, so go tell all your friends!

check.

Hmmm.

it seems like i've had 'write a blog' on my to do list for the past few weeks, so i suppose i'm going to do that. and then i'm gonna cross that shit off my list.


First, i've got some shirts for sale at the new herbivore store in portland. so that's exciting. the new store is pretty sweet, and actually, the whole vegan mini-mall thing is pretty awesome, so if you live in portland, you should really go down there and check it out.




Second, i've been crocheting a shit ton of hats. one a night, which is freaking quick, right? i learned to crochet on the streets, so each one is special and unique, no two are the same. i'm not really sure what i'm going to do with all these hats. give them as christmas gifts, maybe? or maybe i'm on a mission to make the perfect crocheted hat. each hat is bringing me closer to hat-making excellence. maybe not, i just know that for some reason i'm compelled to keep on making them. so that's what i'm gonna do.
this is the first one since the crocheting began. it has ear flaps.


Finally- and this really isn't art related but whatever-
cat face is being incredibly cute right now. maybe a little invasive. i think he really just wants me to get off of this chair so he can have it all to himself. he kinda has one claw out that's digging into my arm for some reason. but its still cute. and i took a picture to document his cuteness:

Not guaranteed forever part 2

what orange am i?

Iam a pumpkin! its the best time of year to be a pumpkin.

You Are Pumpkin

Realistic and practical, you see the world for how it is. You know what it takes to succeed in life... And you're happy to help others reach their goals.

What Color Orange Are You?

i don't recall ever thinking about what orange i am. but i suppose pumpkin fits. today jake and i were walking to get our bikes and saw some squashes and pumpkins growing in someone's yard. the orange in pumpkins is dense and solid. i like colors that aren't ashamed to throw their weight around. that statement probably only makes sense if you've been hanging around with pumpkins. i have.
and you know what else? i've been making shirts. here are some of the new shirts. the bike one in yellow is unfortunately only available in womens large. its stretchy though, and could fit a variety of bodies. the color is bright neon yellow which is good for the biking biker. i also have the robot kite one available in mens shirts.
so yeah. i've been doing the portland saturday market thing for three weekends now. and that's been going well. i'm the new kid. but i like it. i like being fresh and new and learning as i go. i've got a lot of work ahead of me as far as the booth goes. the plan is to be selling cute little printed postcards and stationary by novemberish.

pf. jones, that is.

Check out some of my new t-shirts. Now go to the Portland Saturday Market and buy some. Or you could buy them online...Designed and printed by yours truly.



Love,
pf jones

P.S.
there's more shirts, i'll put them up later...

the goods

Look! jason took lots of wonderful pictures of my art on saturday. i was going to put them in a slideshow or something special, but since i don't have any clue how that's done, i'm just going to slap them up here. enjoy.

oh yeah.

So anyone who lives in portland should go eat at paradox cafe on SE Bellmont and 35th ave. my paintings are hanging there. for two months. maybe you'll buy one.

yep.

what to do...

the thing is i'm just not that much of an 'internet' person. i feel like i'd like to become one, but i'm also just not that willing to spend much time in front of a computer. this blog was intended to be an art blog, it doesn't feel that way to me. it feels like a crapped together half-blog. it does not feel like it represents the things that i am currently creating. i'd like that to change. i'm composing this post because i've got to start somewhere. if i do nothing, it will be nothing. its a start, right?
so here. a picture taken from the window of first place i ever lived in portland. i'd only lived here a short while, maybe 2 months. i really like the colors in the picture. i think i messed with it on photoshop. a few weeks after i took this picture, i started a painting of some birds on a wire. when i finally finished it, it wasn't really representative of the way i felt at the time of this picture. i like the finished painting, but its definitely not as lonely feeling as the photo. its because by the time i'd finished the painting it was spring, and i'd been here a while, and i knew people, and i was feeling different things and i'd learned things about myself and painting. all of that went into the painting. its funny that i'm writing this now because i was actually looking at that painting just a few hours ago. it hangs in my sister's boyfriend's living room. he bought it. (yay for selling artwork. yay for people buying it) yay for starting things and watching them grow and then finishing them.
