Smart Art Give-a-way- Let's hear it for the geniuses!

7/9/2015

As we start contemplating the concept of Back to School, let's not forget the whole reason the children are there- to become smart, capable members of society. Well here at Embellishments I've created an homage of art for the brainy ones that are on that path. In their honor let's make it easy to decorate their rooms with a give-a-way. Although this is about them, you can make it all about you, if you want. Any of my art is fair game, choose something for your living room, the kids rooms or your vacation home that's perched along side a cool lake somewhere (wishful thinking?).

I'd love all of your cowboy pieces. We just moved and I have a ton of wall space to fill. I have my fingers crossed!

Deanna, Congratulations on your new digs. Having lots of wall space is exciting, hopefully not intimidating. Have fun making it YOURS! Thanks for entering,

It is cliche, but I honestly love all of your art. I originally found you by looking up sports-related things and absolutely fell head-over-heels for the scoreboard. Then we decorated the boys playroom and "superhero lair" with (I think) every single piece from your superhero line. Now I fancy the science-y blackboard stuff because it is so fun, hip and now (and because we have a science lab in our garage). But my all-time absolute most bestest favorite is "Color Outside the Lines". It is visually beautiful, but it is the message that has my heart. Art is important. Personal art is even more important. Art doesn't need to be done "the right way"; it needs to be done to the artist's liking. After spending a year as an art docent in my boys' school, the idea of empowering kids to create what they want is an important one. I don't want my boys to fit in; I want them to stand out. I want their creativity to shine in everything they do. And this piece sums that up for me, in an adorably simple little package.

Krista, you make my day every time we chat. I'm so thankful and honored to be part of your kids' world. Can I come over and play in the science lab? I hope you have a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit, we might need them. Ha! You're so right about art needing to be outside the lines. We chatted before and I know you put your heart and soul into making your kids lives amazing. That makes you amazing! Keep blurring the lines and having fun! Thanks for entering!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to win one of your awesome works of art!! I absolutely love "Be the Ball" in your baseball collection. I am so fond of this particular piece because it reminds me of my late father. He grew up in South Boston in the 1940's and baseball was his saving grace. Every time I see "Be the Ball" and several other pieces in your baseball collection it gives me joy because I reminisce about the stories my father shared with me and the love of the game of baseball he passed on to my son. I have followed you on Pinterest forever and now I follow you on Facebook & Instagram too!

7/10/2015 04:52:59 am

Kerri, thank you for sharing with me. It would honor me to have my art be the conduit between your love of baseball and the love you have for your father. Art should speak to ones soul and be personal like that. Thanks for entering and good luck! - Aaron

Thank you for the opportunity! I really like the "Please refrain from climbing on the ceiling". Simple typography but still with the vintage feel and great humour. Follow you on Pinterest. Love your work.

7/10/2015 04:58:28 am

Peggy, you nailed the qualities that I was shooting for. I loved mixing the vintage "feel" with the more modern sentiment. It makes people glance twice. The second glance is when most people chuckle. Now, I don't promise it will work but at least you're serving notice to those wild ceiling climbers! Best of luck! - Aaron

I love the League Baseball Wall art!

I originally fell in love with your rock n roll line at Target and purchased all of it for my son's room!

For me personally, it is hard to choose because I love them all! The Route 66 line and the cocktail line have always been a favorite but I did just come across the Texas flag as I was browsing. Being from Texas that is always a favorite!
Before I forget, I followed you on Instagram for the extra entry!!

The new eclectic items are taking me back to childhood days when phones and machines had dials. Who knew?

7/12/2015 02:26:21 am

Painting art featuring touch screens just didn't quite do it for me....

As an ex pro football player i enjoy the football pieces. Great work man!

7/12/2015 02:27:06 am

Thank you Bill! Best of luck!

I love the super hero collection--especially the "please refrain from climbing on the ceilings," "take off," and "power checklist" Thinking of updating my son's room and these would look totally awesome. LOVE Aaron's stuff.

7/12/2015 02:28:36 am

I'm glad you like my work Laura. Good luck to you and your super-son!

Jen

Just started following on Instagram! My son would love the play book x and o wall art and I know exactly where I would put it.

7/13/2015 01:02:05 pm

That's terrific Jen! Thanks and good luck tonight!

I really like the "Art for the Home", particularly the "Cocktails, Beer & Wine". Since I'm moving into a new place here shortly, I'd love to have a piece to decorate it! Love your stuff Aaron!

7/13/2015 01:05:13 pm

Well hello Becky, great to have you visit my world. I'd of course be honored if my work graced your new place! I'll see you soon I'm sure! Best- Aaron

Oh, your crayon "color outside the lines" just makes my heart SWOON! I adore it. Great style!

Amy

Hi there Amy, how's my fellow PDX artist doing? Great I hope. I would of course be excited for you to hang my COTL piece. I love that it makes your heart swoon...awww. Good luck

My brave son, Aaron, and his bandmate just relocated to Richmond 2 weeks ago to try to break in to the music scene there. They loaded up his jeep with their amps, guitars and not much else. They started new jobs today and have a cute little rental house that I'm sure would feel homier with some wall art. I think they'd much prefer your Recording Microphone to my girly art. :)

7/13/2015 01:13:37 pm

Hi Diana, He's out on his own and you're still putting his needs first. Major mom points go to you! I hope my fellow namesake musician finds a way to make his dreams come true. Best of luck to both of you.

Seriously Aaron, I love it all! You can make a splotch of sand and I'd like it! I particularly like the baseball and wine/beer categories! Go figure!

7/13/2015 01:17:17 pm

Angie, define splotch. The last sand I painted was a tad bit bigger than a single splotch. You bore witness...ha! Sending good luck vibes to the Kurasz's and thanks for following me on Instagram!

I love your art. I came across your website a while back while searching for a particular piece by Rodney White. Your art reminds me of his and I've followed you ever since! I love the whimsical way you capture each subject. I adore your "color outside the lines", the Navajo wall print, your boys outdoorsy prints, and your super hero line! Would be hard to choose one favorite.

7/13/2015 01:27:32 pm

Hi Alisha, I dig Rodney's work as well. He and I have discussed how our work is similar in execution, but we do take two different paths in content. He's a really nice guy, and is very sincere in his path to inspire others.

I'm glad you like my work as well and can find a home for so many of my themes. I wish you the best of luck!

My friend Sherri just shot me your artwork! Great stuff! Especially partial to lacrosse tournament piece and color outside the lines crayons. Glad Sherri shared with me.

7/13/2015 01:32:09 pm

Hi Patty, she's my cohort in the kids biz and a great friend. I'm glad she sent you my way. I'll announce who wins in the morning...best of luck to you!

I love all of it Aaron! Being a dance team family, I appreciate all your versions of art. I would be proud to display any of it in my house. I am inspired by your creativity!
