Annearky's Etsy Store!

Hey GDG blog followers!

I've updated my Etsy store with some paintings I did while in the Grand Canyon. They're cool little landscapes, and everything's reasonably priced - nothing over $100. The holidays are absurdly far away, yes, but let me be the first to point out that they make great gifts!

They are not, strictly speaking, girl-related, but they are pretty neat.

Check them out!

And speaking of good gifts, why not walk over to Meltdown Comics in Hollywood and check out the bitchin' display of GDG art, in the store for a limited time only, until 8/31!

Meltdown!

Just wanted to say hi and thanks to all the lovely gals at the show that I met up with last night. The show is so incredibly rockin! You should all be so super proud of yourselves! I felt so welcomed (as a new member) and the whole atmosphere was amazing.

That said, I wanted to show off my pieces for the show, and let folks know that yes, prints will be available.

Help GDG's Paigey get her design made into a toy!

Help GDG's own Paigey Pumphrey get a vinyl toy made of her design!

She's even mentioned on Gutter Magazine:

"If they can make a goddamn barrista action figure or McFarlane Toyz can throw up some hippie band collection, then surely there's some love out there for the amazing work of of Gutter fav. Paigey Pumphrey!

She needs votes to bring the below little jade-colored goddess to life. Personally, we would love to see a whole line of Paigey creations! We would totally buy them over ANOTHER Freddy Kruger action figure ANY day! "
