Bookmarks Are Here!

And now, new for spring, Artism by Nick offers beautiful bookmarks!

These bright, cheerful and durable bookmarks will enhance your reading experience. They make wonderful gifts that will last and last, and will offer the recipient the opportunity to think of you often.

They can be tucked easily into one of our Artism by Nick notecards for a special treat!

Our bookmarks are about six inches in length and are laminated to keep them looking great. They are finished with ribbon and include our artism by Nick label on back.

Our Cool Blues and Wild Thing designs are shown, but we will custom create your bookmarks in any Artism style we offer! (scroll to bottom of blog for design choices.)

Order several at our affordable price of $2 each, and have plenty on hand for friends, relatives, teacher gifts, Easter treats, or just because!

The Holiday Workshop is Busy!

We have been very busy at Artism by Nick preparing for the holidays. We are creating beautiful greetings with personalized messages. As you can see by the photos, Nick has been prepping materials in anticipation of our workload.

Our customers are able to select their own personal greeting, font style, card stock color, ribbon color, and design scheme (green and red or blue and white). These will make for truly unique and memorable holiday cards! Nick's artist profile and logo will be on the back of each card.

The deadline for ordering your personalized holiday cards is October 1, and you will receive your cards by November 30 for mailing.

If you are interested and did not receive information about this unique offer in the mail, please email us and place your order!

Our Art Keeps Getting More Fun, More Exciting, and More Beautiful!

Here is another card we made - six of these to go with the 6 black ones previously mentioned, for our customer Betsy who wanted understated cards for condolences.

We were pretty stunned by their beauty once they were painted, cured and trimmed! This is a shot of them on the table before curing or trimming. We REALLY like this border thing - it's simple for Nick to do because he just has to follow the outline of the card. (He still gets to select each piece as he goes!)

Our customer Cheryl made a good point in our comments section...these are NOT just for condolences!! We think people would like these among our selections, so we're going to offer them! Look for a sample to appear on the slide show at the top of the blog, and on the bottom of the blog in the card shop.

We can do them in ANY color scheme for you! What would you like? Purple border on white card stock with brushed gold? Green border on cream card stock with brushed silver? The possibilities are endless! We're waiting for your order!

Our customers have inspired SO many great cards - Betsy, this time, thanks go to you!

The mosaic that is us...a message from Mom

As Nick and I were working today, it ocurred to me what a metaphor his art is to his autism and his life, as well as all our lives. First, as with all people, no two of Nick's works are the same. Each is so unique in its own way...we only have to look closely to see the beauty there. So it is with all people. Second, we never know until we are finished what the end product will be. It is an ever-changing process and the beauty unfolds as we make a move, make a decision, take a risk. And third, just one piece on the paper is incomplete. It is only when all the pieces are enhancing each other interdependently do we see what is possible. So it is with Nick's life, and I think, with all of us. It truly takes a village, and with each person who touches our lives and each opportunity we're given, we create the mosaic, the collage that makes us unique.
