Been a while - back in action!

It's been quite a while since I last updated this blog. The main reason was that I had to put Graffitipix on hold - for a long time.

Much of the issue has been time. I've been caught up in other business ventures which have taken most of my time and energy. However, now that those other businesses are more-or-less stable, I'm able to get back to what I love - great artwork!

I've focused on graffiti art for many years, and have assembled a wonderful collection from Miss Van, Fafi, Banksy, and others. Most of my collection is in the way of 'private' graffiti photographs rather than canvases. I continue to collect photos of great art - and please feel free to continue contacting me if you have any great photo's that you'd like to talk about or sell.

One area that I had gotten into in a big way was Prison Art. In fact, I had started The Prison Art Project (http://www.prisonartproject.org), specifically to collect, show, and sell prison art.

Now that I have the time and opportunity to get back into the whole art thing, this is going to be where a good deal of my focus will be.

If you have any prison art, or correspond with anyone who is locked up and creates art, or has buddies on the inside that do, please contact me.

It's been a long time, and I really look forward to picking up where I left off, and then taking this whole thing way, way further.

I'll be completely revamping the Graffitipix.com website, as well as re-designing and re-launching The Prison Art Project. I still have what is probably one of the largest collections of prison outsider art in existence, at least on this side of the bars.

And so look here for more (and frequent) updates as I kick this whole thing back into gear. In other words, come back and visit soon, and often! If you have any questions, comments, or anything you like to communciate with me about, feel free to leave a comment below.

You can also expect that I will be posting some of the images, both graffiti art and prison art, on this blog. That should be beginning in the next coming weeks.

Thanks to all for your ongoing support!

GraffitiPix and Prison Art Project Scheduled For Major Update

Graffitipix, the premier website for exhibition grade museum-quality graffiti prints from artists like Miss Van and FAFI is about to get a major overhaul and improvement.

The entire web site will be upgraded with additional new pictures from FAFI and Miss Van, as well as many other graffiti artists.

The long-awaited release of The Prison Art Project website is coming as well. This site, www.prisonartproject.org will be coming online in mid-October. Prisonartproject.org will be featuring hundreds of extraordinary original pieces by inmate artists incarcerated throughout the United States and the rest of the world.

There will be numerous prison art pieces featuring pen & ink, colored pencil, pen, graphite, Magic Marker, and more.

These "Outsider Art" originals range from smaller pieces, to many 8.5"x11" pieces created on notebook paper, to larger works created on linen from prison bed sheets.

You can see some new pieces posted on Graffitipix.com already, with many more to come.

Look for the updates to Graffitipix at around the same time as Prisonartproject.org. There will also be an emphasis on women graffiti artists, as well as some up & coming new taggers.

We welcome your suggestions about new artists to feature on the premier Graffiti art website.

Graffitipix also welcomes and solicits your original photographs of graffiti art from around the world. Please feel free to leave a comment with contact information for us!

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!

Been a while, but I'm back!

It's been quite a while since I last posted, but I'm back! We have quite a few plans in the works for Graffitipix, including many new pics that will be offered, as well as some exciting new categories.

Lots of very cool Miss Van and Fafi pics coming!

The biggest "addition" will be an entire gallery of Prison Art for sale! These will be individual artworks. We've been working with about 20 inmate artists, and now have over 300 pieces of amazing artwork that we will be offering!

One reason for my absence is that I've been helping out an Internet Marketing group - you can see their blog at Improve Your Internet Marketing - these guys really know their stuff, and I've learned a lot about marketing on the internet.

Look for the Prison Art and other very cool additions coming in the next few weeks!

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!
