Early Spring Sale & 2 New Block Clocks!

Justin and I have decided that we're ready to move on into Spring - a little early perhaps, but the Groundhog did say....

So, please hurry to Infinity Arts Gallery because we're taking 25% off most of our art clocks and wall art pieces!

My latest 2 Block Clocks were a painstaking labor of love. They are extreme experiments in wall art clock design and I know they are just perfect for someone out there!

The first, "Block Clock - Seeds to Trees" is a massive composition of seed and tree designs with an assertive 15" golden ochre face. The introductory price is $375 (after St. Patty's, $425).

Number 2 - "Block Clock - Ode to Trees" is a tribute to the quiet giants in my back yard. This clock came to me all at once, like a vision in black and white. But try as I did to maintain that first vision, this piece evolved in its own special way, including the bold mixing of peacock blue, with deep rusty red and several shades of green. The introductory price is $225 (after St. Patty's, $275).

I should be back later this week to give you the first glimpse of Justin's new clocks! Happy Spring!

More New Clock Designs...

Well, I've been busy through the weekend and some nights finishing up my 7 new designs. I am calling them my "sidebar series" - as they reflect the many designs found throughout my sketchbook, translated onto wall clocks. In keeping with my style, the clocks are quite minimalist, drawing on the design work and the pleasing color combinations to carry them off.

I am still working on 2 more large block clocks, so expect them sometime next week.

Here are my 4 favorite new designs. You can find the rest at Infinity Arts Gallery.

"Flourish" by mary preiser potts / $90 / 4¾" x 21" / purchase

"Blossom" by mary preiser potts / $90 / 6" x 19¼" / sold

"Thrive" by mary preiser potts / $90 / 6" x 17¼" / sold

"Rise" by mary preiser potts / $90 / 6" x 17¼" / sold

Happy Love Day!

New Clock Designs, As Promised

Whew! I'm finally getting Justin's beautiful new clocks up - now that it's Friday. I'm really excited about these new designs. He continues to do what he does so well - earthy tones and brilliant, beautifully-rendered accent design work, but it comes across in a fresh way each time. I'm going to post my favorites, but to see all of the new ones and to purchase, visit Infinity Arts Gallery .

Happy Weekend! I hope to be back early (?) next week with a few of my own new clock designs...that is, if I can get away from this computer long enough to make them!

A new project.

I thought I'd assert myself, blog-wise, and actually go ahead and write one! So, here it is:
Just before I turned 30 (I'm 34 now) I had some anxiety about hitting the big 3-0 and wondered how this might impact my art. I decided to undertake a big and ambitious project just to start my thirties off on the right foot.
When I was very young my dad used to make paintings and collages. I remember one collage in particular that was simply phenomenal to my 5 year old mind. I had always wanted to play around with collage and hadn't up until this time. I purchased some extra-heavy canvas material and some 2x4's and built a 99" x 44" canvas. I had amassed a great collection of odd paper pieces to use for the collage elements throughout the years- things I had found here or there, original sketches, photocopies of my old paintings and drawings, things people had given me to use in art projects, Mary's sunrise photograph copies, and my artist friend Tom's incredible art-ready detritus. I decided to make a piece that would somehow encapsulate or represent my life up to that point, in some way.
I worked on the thing intensely and obsessively for weeks. I called the finished piece Into Existence. It's very dense and it needs to be seen in person for the full effect. It's hanging in my music room right now and makes a great thing to stare at as I record songs! Here is the thing in its miniature entirety:



Anyway, lately I've been taking detail photos of it with the idea of making inexpensive prints available on our website. Below are some detail shots which may or may not be available as prints in the near future. If you're interested in prints let me know...it will help motivate me to get it together! Thanks for reading and viewing- Justin

Indie Obsession

The word 'obsession' keeps coming up today somehow, so I'll go with it...I'd like to say a great big thank you to Brandy at Indie Obsession for blogging about our clocks. We're happy to see our clocks mingle with other cool finds. If you haven't checked out this blog, now is the time. Right from the scripty title graphic on her indie art blog, you know you're going to like what you see and you do! Thanks again!
