Two Little Monkeys Window Painting

Earlier this week I was invited down to paint the windows at Two Little Monkeys, a children's consignment shop in my neighborhood by the owner, Sarah. Sarah buys & sells gently used kid's clothes, baby swings, strollers, baby carriers, bikes, trikes...you name it, she sells it. (And at incredibly reasonable prices I might add.)

The store front has 8 windows at is about 20' long.

I used Sarah's existing monkey characters but gave them both the signature cheesy grin that you'll find on all of my own characters. The monkeys are having a water fight with the hose to beat this oppressive July heat here in Boston. (Though as I type this it's a dreamy 70 degrees outside and you could even get away with wearing a hoodie. Eep!)

I also added the shop's logo right on the center glass at eye level for greater visibility for passersby. (I love that word.)

Contact me if you have a window that could use some love. The designs are waterproof but also easily removed. Perfect if you're renting or if you just have commitment issues.

Enjoy the rest of your Summer!!

New Name Frame: Maximus Monkey

New name frame painted for monkey-loving Maximus in Malden, MA.

Eliza's Name Plate

Name plate and frame painted for Little Eliza's animal themed nursery. Eliza's God-Mother ordered this 2-piece set to match the walls of her first God-Daughter's kiwi green and purple room.

Kickstand frame ($25) painted in a custom shade of purple created just for Eliza with the cutest zebra peeking out from the left hand corner.

Hand painted wooden name plate sign ($45) also painted in coordinating shades of custom purple and decorated with a happy giraffe and a little girl monkey with a huge grin. This name plate was made using 2 pieces of wood painted and glued together to give the artwork a little more pizzaz. Which is what every little girl's room needs, isn't it?

Customizable sets like these make wonderful birthday, baby shower and of course, Christmas gifts and for only $70 (price dependant on size and amount of detail) you really can't go wrong. Order yours now!!

***Accepting Christmas orders through Dec. 5th this year due to holiday travel mid-month.***

The USS Harlan Richardson Moore

I just finished this painting for a little boy named Harlan to hang in his nursery. Harlan has a big brother named Lucian, you may remember his monkey pirate ship painting from last year.
