Ink art jewelry including pendants and pins. Each piece is created with ink on metal or acrylic. Some pieces incorporate vintage papers or other vintage and reclaimed elements. I have began adding new pieces that encase vintage elements in acrylic in metal bezels.

Green, eclectic, and set apart is probably the best description of my work. It varies from vegan dog biscuits to green laundry detergent to newly painted vintage furniture ceramics. As long as I’ve been creating I haven’t found myself ever drawn to just one medium and I absolutely love when I get reactions from customers telling me how “clever” or “unique” my products are. I massively enjoy taking something seemingly useless and creating a new fabulous and functional piece (including bowls, wall art, boxes, pillows, LED candles etc.). I looked at it as being “green” before it was a buzzword. As well as making art from my thrift store finds I also make affordable green cleaning supplies and laundry detergents that only contain essential oils, 100% biodegradable ingredients, are completely vegan and have been perfected by cleaning up my own messes. I don’t sell any products that my family and I don’t use on a regular basis.

Cranky Yellow

admin — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 15:54:40 +0000

CrankyYellow is an organization that builds its financial basis on the selling of art, music, and literature. However, as most companies and organizations stop at the bottom-line CrankyYellow uses this black-ink to fulfill community and political endeavors that it supports. We are not, we will never be money-grubbing penny-pinchers looking to fill our wallets. We want food, clothing, shelter, and a few video-games and dvds here and there; otherwise what we want the most is to enrich the community around us (Currently St. Louis) as well as the world as a whole.

We are people, CrankyYellow is made up of real human beings, and as such we want to keep our human face clearly visible. We blog, we chat, we post our ideas in our forum, we want people to know who we are, personally, and what we are about. As such, CrankyYellow is not protected by an army of lawyers, politicians, sycophants, spin-doctors, or public-relations experts. We are not guarded by a mouse, a clown, a rabbit, a symbol, or a catchy slogan, we are who we are and we are not afraid to show it.

Not only that, we want to know more about other people, who they are and what they want. We want to help them, we want to help you. We will protest with you, grow trees with you, eat and cook with you, drawn and paint with you, we’ll sing, we’ll dance, we’ll work, we’ll play together; that is what we want. CrankyYellow is an organization that wants to be a part of the community, an integral and helpful slice of a delicious people-pie (without the cannibalistic overtones).

We have so many dreams, so many goals (as many as there are members) and these will grow as more of you sign-up. You can be an artist or activist, employee or volunteer, forum-member or blogger, customer or philanthropist; it will make no difference to us!

I recycle, upcycle and repurpose materials that would be thrown away and use them to make art work on or with. Mini illustrations are hand drawn into recycled bottle caps, they are then used for jewelry, magnets, and accessories.

I also create original art work on old VHS tapes and Records. Using acrylic paint, mix media and collage techniques.

Kiwi Cuties

On a very ordinary day, my destiny revealed itself to me in the form of a black scribble. This scribble told me that it was time to raise up an army of ninjas. I asked the scribble how I would find them and it told me to send out a signal and let them find me. This is when I began marking ordinary t-shirts with these special indicators that would compel the novice ninjas to join my cause.
Me, I’m just the messenger.

I make art… a lot of animals… weird creatures and weird people… cut paper… stampers… hand drawn text… and it ends up as posters, little pieces of original art, prints, mini prints, shirts, stickers and sometimes some strange surfaces.
