Lucky for You, He Eats Bamboo! Now Available

Lucky for you, Jay's latest watercolor painting is available on Etsy--CLICK NOW.
It's a beauty and tells a tale of fairy warriors and good natured pandas.

There is only one original, but Lucky for You there are lots of greeting cards.

They are smaller than the Giant Panda original.
And they won't impress nearly as much as hanging a LarsenGeekery original on your walls.
But they are easier to pop into the mail.

Go get a Card or two!

There are lots of Cards, Original Art, Posters, Bags and more, all on the LarsenGeekery Etsy Store.

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!

For example, please enjoy "Science Corp" by Jay Larsen

Greeting Cards that Stand Out this Holiday Season

Everybody ready for the Holiday Tug of War?
You know the one: I want to genuinely celebrate the holidays, but I hate feeling all commercial.
No?  Well Never Mind then.

Anyway, LarsenGeekery has a slew of Greeting Cards for that hard to please Geek in your life. And even more cards for those easy to please Geeks in your life.
Some of them are even Holiday Themed, like this beauty.

So go to our Etsy Store and browse the Greeting Card Selection.  Pick out a few and order them.
Then you can relax into that Turkey and Eggnog induced "long winters nap" or run out in a shopping frenzy on Black Friday (which ever you prefer), confident that you at least have some great cards to share with friends and family.

If you need to place a large order: Contact Us.  We can help you out.

Don't see what you need: Contact Us. See the pattern yet?

Robots are Taking Over, and That's OK

The Robots are taking over here at LarsenGeekery, and we are OK with that!

My latest piece is called, The Battle in Seattle.  And it depicts that famous retro futuristic robot battle that stressed Seattle to the limits in that Historical Future that hasn't happened yet, but should.

Robots everywhere!  Cool...

New Comic: Giga-Geekery #1 Is Here!

I'm pretty excited to announce that my newest comic book, Giga-Geekery #1: Emperor Jack's Day Off, is making its debut right here!  Ta-Ta-Dah!  That was a horn flourish...

It is the story of how Emperor Jack tries to beat the Monday Blues by taking a day off.
He leaves a plate of Eggs and Toast to run the government while he is away, and amazingly, his breakfast does a pretty good job while he is away having fun adventures.  And it is written, penciled, inked, colored, lettered, printed, stapled and folded by me, Jay Larsen.

You Can Read a Preview of Giga-Geekery #1 by Clicking Here!

You Can Buy a Copy at our Etsy Store by Clicking Here!  Only $3.00!

You can see all of my original comics by Clicking on the Comics Tab at the top of the page.

We will be bringing copies, hot off the press, to our next live show,  Geek Fest 2012, a concert and vendor fair put on by Seattle Browncoats Charities.  Great music and performances and Great Shopping in Shoreline, WA.

Shoreline Conference Center, 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline, WA 98155 on December 15 & 16, 2012. Hours: Saturday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Sunday: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

I'm pretty excited.  In case you missed that part.  -- Jay Larsen

If You Like to Plan Ahead...

I know, I know.  Halloween is barely over and we haven't had our turkey day yet.  But Christmas and those other Holidays are right around the proverbial calendar corner.  So if you are the kind of person that likes to plan ahead (or if you would like to be that kind of person), now is the time to get your Holiday Cards.
Sure you could wait until the last minute and pick up a pack of mass-produced cards with boring designs at the local big box store.
Or, you could support local independent artists and order a stack of LarsenGeekery Holiday Cards with a design guaranteed not to be on Walmart shelves this year.

Each card has a Jay Larsen original design of an underwater holiday scene with a vintage diver playing Santa to a candy-cane colored octopus under the watchful eye of a certain submarine made famous by a certain book and movie.
The cards are blank inside, so you can customize your message.  And each card comes with matching envelope and comes inside a crystal clear bag to make sure everything is clean and bright when you get it, no matter how far we have to ship it.

So what are you waiting for?  Gather round the Holiday Coral Tree and get some Geeky Cards to make your Holiday Season happy and bright.
If you only need a few, order from our Etsy Store.
If you need a lot, Contact Us Directly.
We will make sure Santa gets your cards to you at a reasonable price.

And now the fine print:
(Submarine Delivery not available in all areas.  LarsenGeekery reserves the right to substitute USPS delivery.  Greeting Cards are not waterproof and should not be submerged for any period of time.  Respect the environment, don't collect coral to make your Christmas Tree.  Octopus not actually made of peppermint.)

Geekery Prints in our Etsy Store

The full line of LarsenGeekery Prints are now available on our Etsy Store.
Go There and check them all out.  And order a couple for yourself or that special someone.

We will have all the Prints, Posters, Greeting Cards, Comics and all our other great Geek Gear at the  Jet City Comic Show in Seattle on September 22nd.

Geekery Greeting Cards in our Etsy Shop

Go to the LarsenGeekery Etsy Shop and browse through our new Geekery Greeting Cards Collection.  Heck, you can even buy a few if you like.  Including the new Coffee Hero Justice League series.

We will have all the new Cards and Prints at the show.
