Etsy shop contest, small spaces, and more

Today is the official launch of my etsy shop "Friends with Pets," featuring custom pet portraiture. I've mentioned it below, but here is the link again: http://www.etsy.com/shop/FriendswithPets

I'm really stoked at how well it has gone so far. A couple of sales down AND NEITHER OF THEM WERE MY DAD!!! Hahaha, so huge.

For the rest of June, I am holding two contests - two separate opportunities to win a portrait of your pet friend. 

1. You can like the "Friends with Pets" facebook page. Visit it here: http://www.facebook.com/FriendsWithPets  

2. Tweet a link to the shop with my handle (@jrosestuff). If you need something to say, feel free to copy and tweet:

In preparation for the launch, I've been doing a lot of experimenting with printing and paper. In particular, I've been having quite a time printing pet friend, Molly C.

This photo not only illustrates the wide range possible with different papers, but also the struggle of having very little work space. My desk is very small and I don't have a table. The floor isn't an option because of my two pet friends (who I accidentally stepped on taking this blurry photo). Sorry Summer!

Close-ups.

Only one day in, and the shop has been a great experience. Please enter the contests / spread the word and thank you for the support!
