2014 Has been an amazing year!

We would like to thank everyone who has helped make 2014 such an amazing year for LarsenGeekery.  
It has been a pleasure sharing our geeky interests with so many enthusiastic people.  We have grown as artists and craftspeople and we are looking forward to growing and sharing even more Geekery in 2015.

This has been a busy time for us as we have relocated to a new town and a new house with a much bigger Geekery Lab for us to paint and sew in (once we get everything out of the cardboard boxes)!

We wish everyone out there a Happy Holiday Season.  And we will see you in 2015 with new and wonderful Geekery for all.

Rose City was a Blast. Now on to Geek Girl Con in Seattle

Rose City Comic Con in Portland was a ton of fun.
We were in a small space, but I think we maximized the Geekery per square inch.
The new Robot Prints were a big hit!

Had to go to Portland to meet Capt Canada!

She was a Wonder!

Resist the Bad News and Keep the Geekery Going.

With all the bad news these days, a Geeky Attitude is more important than ever. Share something you love with someone who needs it--enthusiasm is contagious. Play, dance, sing, and make at least some of your day about the the things you cherish most. Geeky pluck can help us all resist the dark side. Go forth and Geek!

A Fantastic Time to be a Geek

When Evelyn and I started LarsenGeekery we decided we had done enough things because other people wanted us to do them and we needed to fill more of our time with things that we genuinely liked doing.  It was a gamble and a risk, but I am very glad we took that risk.

We have met sooooo many cool new friends and attended some fabulous events.  And I have done something I have wanted to do my entire life, focus on making art.  And I have grown so much as an artist in just the last few years.

I have been doing commissions for people and selling paintings almost as fast as I can make them.
I am positive that my best work is still in the future.  But I want to thank everyone who has participated in this adventure so far, customers, friends, family and especially my one-and-only Evelyn.

This is a great time to be a Geek!

Thanks,
Jay Larsen

Capitalism: The Ocean in which We ALL Swim

Revel in it or Rebel against it, Capitalism is the Cultural Ocean in which we all swim.

I'm trying to decide if I actually came up with that line or if I heard it somewhere and forgot where I heard it.  If it sounds like somebody else's line, let me know.  I'm all for giving credit where credit is due.

I know people that LOVE Capitalism and all the different ways it makes it possible for people to make money.  I know people who HATE Capitalism and wish they could just do whatever they want and not worry about having enough cash.

Me, I swing back and forth like a bi-polar monkey: grabbing bananas and then flinging poo.
What I do know is that Capitalism is pervasive in America right now.  We can all dream about how things should be and fight and work to make them different.  But you can't turn your back on this beast and more than you can turn your back on a charging bull (or bear).  You have to pay attention despite your personal feelings and wishes or this system will leave you destitute.

I know, I know!  I started with Oceans and then went to monkeys and bears and bulls.  I should make up my mind and stick to a metaphor already.  But I don't want to.

I don't want money to be the measure of everything in my life.  Some things are more important to me than money.  But with no money, it is hard to survive, let alone thrive, in a America.  So I try to balance my money making with the other things in my life.  I try to do without some things that would be nice, because I don't want to spend the money-making time on them and take that time away from the things that are super important to me: like my girls and my art.

Switching metaphors back to oceans again: So what do you do to ride the waves of Capitalism?  Do you struggle just to keep your head above water?  Can you manage to surf the waves and ride out the storms with style and your dignity intact?  Do we all have to become sharks just to survive?

I've got no solid answers.  But I'd like to believe we can use money as a measure for somethings and make fair exchanges, while recognizing that many things that are vital and important should never be measured in terms of dollars and therefor should never be sold for dollars.

Good luck and fair sailing to us all.
--Jay Larsen

Art is not a Science, but Science can be Art

Just a friendly reminder for our friends, and if you are reading this page you qualify, that
Jay Makes Geeky Good Paintings, and
You Can Own The Originals.
But you've got to be fast, because there is only one original of each piece.

Check out the Original Art Tab at the top of this page to see new paintings.
And then visit the LarsenGeekery Etsy Store and click Original Art to see paintings that are still available for purchase.

I hope you will enjoy owning fine Geekery Art as much as I enjoy creating it.
If you purchase an original painting, rest assured you will be receiving a quality work of art hand crafted with care and enthusiasm.  These are not mass produced copies made by a machine, but the ultimate in Geekery, original art.  And you will be helping to support a living artist during the period of time that he needs that support the most--while he's still alive!
