Prison Art Project Coming Along!

I mentioned in my last post that I had begun putting together a new project: The Prison Art Project.

Here's a brief update. I have acquired almost 300 incredible Prison Art works. What I've done is get in contact with prisoners, mostly in the US. I have explained my project, letting them know that I would like to offer their artwork for sale online, and that they would receive money for anything that is sold.

They are given the option of having me send money into their prison commissary account, or to relatives/friends on the "outside" - some prisoners aren't allowed commissary accounts, and some have restitution judgements that automatically take any money they receive.

I am hoping to get The Prison Art Project up online over the next few weeks.

The address is: http://www.prisonartproject.org

Let me know what you think!

Graffitipix is back on Ebay!

Well, it's been a while since my last post... we had a series of back-to-back family crises, but fortunately they have passed.

The big news is that we are back on Ebay, auctioning some FABULOUS new graffiti prints from Miss Van, Fafi, and others.

You can see what we have on auction - our Ebay ID is, you guessed it: graffitipix!

We are also very excited to be working on our next big project, The Prison Art Project! This will be a web site similar to Graffitipix.com, except it will feature exclusively Prison Art. This is "outsider" art created by some incredibly talented inmate artists that we have begun co-responding with.

Look for The Prison Art Project to come online in the next month or so. In the meantime, stop by Graffitipix.com and see what's new!
