As a marketing test and promotion, I have hooked up with my excellent printer to offer a limited number of each of these three 36″x24″ prints for almost 60% off. Three feet by two feet, enough to add abstract color to any wall. And because my signature is fairly light, they could be hung horizontally or vertically.

Not only is the quantity limited, but so is the time: the promotion expires January 13, 2012 at 21:00 (9:PM EST). And as a special offer for those who buy one of these three prints, they can select any other abstract for the same promotional price*.

Each abstract is printed on stretched canvas, so each is ready to handy as soon as you receive it. They usually ship in one business day (from North Carolina) and are expertly packed. We ship all over the world. and every piece comes with a full 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Continue reading »

Yesterday was the running (cycling and swimming ;o) of the annual Tri-Peachtree City Triathlon, a USA Triathlon-sanctioned event. Continue reading »

Since people have their own preferences in what they want in purchasing prints, I now have three options, each offering its own unique features. I consider all of these a work in progress:

Photographic Prints:

I have teamed up with a high-end commercial lab to provide a less expensive option to Giclée prints. These photos are set-up for ease of framing at your local frame shop. This option is for purchasing prints only, prints that you would then frame locally (see “Framing Suggestions” below). Continue reading »

I recently introduced a few new designs to my CafePress collection of apparel and gifts. With the holidays coming up, CafePress is running weekly specials.

WILD ROSES is a painting I created from a photograph I captured in 1976. It was discovered on one of my photo trips to find the forgotten, the different, those uniquely special subjects that could never be planned for … but only found. Roses can be found anywhere, but not like these. Continue reading »

This is something I’ve been hounded about for quite some time, and it’s finally taken shape. Prints for purchase will now be in one place, and the print house I selected can custom-frame and ship world-wide.

This new gallery will showcase only the photographs and photo-illustrations that I currently have available for sale. My prints can be purchased without framing, but I believe you’ll see the savings and simplicity of ordering your print custom-framed, and ready-to-hang.

I will create a separate opt-in mailing list for the gallery, which will cover only information related to prints and limited-time specials on prints. The specials will only be available to those on the mailing list … so, when I have the mailing list form completed, I will announce it on this list.

The new gallery is located at: http://Gallery.Matre.com

Do you know any beautiful, expecting moms with a sense of humor that can occasionally use a defibrillator? If you’ve personally experienced that glorious miracle of childbirth — either as the carrier or the coach — you know how the simplest of joys can make a huge difference for that special mom.

The canine model is Kelsey, and currently my oldest rescue. She was born in late 1998, and raised in the wild for her first six to eight months. I adopt dogs that are considered un-adoptable. A challenge, yes. Rewards unbelievable.

But I’m sure you’ll be the hero of the day for that mom-to-be, and quite possibly a few additional days, as well. Lucky for you, the shirt comes in multiple colors and styles.
