I'm putting the finishing touches on a new book showcasing some of the paintings (and corresponding stories) from my "Ins and Outs" series. It will be available in December, but here's a sneak peek at the cover (I've never been good at keeping secrets!). Shoot me an e-mail (prichmond1287@earthlink.net) if you'd like to be notified when it comes out.

'Tis the season to spread some good cheer (yes, it's that time already, at least according to mall window displays everywhere), and what better way to light up loved ones' faces than with a holiday-themed Cheesecake Boy of their very own? I have two Christmas Cheesecake Boy greeting cards published by 10Percent Productions. They are available to purchase on their website. Click HERE to check out the "Holiday Surprises" set (depicting Santa's run-in with a pants-snatching pet), and HERE for "Brightest of the Holidays" (shown to the right). I'm also offering limited edition giclee prints of my "Stocking Stuffer" Cheesecake Boy painting (shown below). You can order him (or any of his Cheesecake brethren) in my Etsy shop HERE . With all of these fabulously naughty Christmas gift options, hopefully we've got you covered (which is more than I can say for my Cheesecake Boy models!). Happy holidays!

I've been busy updating my Etsy store with some original paintings, including "Not Just a Closet," "Forbidden Forest," "Mother Nurture," and "Looking for Something," as well as giclee prints of some Cheesecake Boy classics like "The Elevator Incident" and "Room With a View." In the coming days I plan to add more, so check back often: http://www.paulypants.etsy.com

I'm in my second day of jury duty, and since today is also Election Day, my mind is on the dynamic duo of the Democratic party. Apparently, I'm not alone. Since posting my " Batmobama and Robiden " giclee prints on Etsy, that piece has been getting a lot of attention from bloggers, message board commentors, and a host of online publications dedicated to keeping their readership informed of the latest trends. Not to worry, Batmobama's sudden success isn't going to go to my head -- I'm pretty sure that my next painting, "Noah's Gay Wedding Cruise," will appeal to more of a niche market. Anyway, since I don't have much else to do here in the jury pool, I'm going to post a few links to some of the interesting Batmobama discussion going on out there in the world: BUZZ.YAHOO.COM TREND HUNTER MAGAZINE BATMOBAMA AND THE GLOBAL FLEA MARKET YES BUT NO BUT YES I HEART CHAOS ASD LABS LAUGHING SQUID ANIMAL NEW YORK THE WORLD'S BEST EVER I also...
