So I’ve been holding off announcing it but seeing as a few folks seem to have come across it somehow ;D, I might as well announce that I have put together an online storefront to make getting prints and other merchandise from me easier!
The store is here: Spira Mirabilis: The Art of Balaa
To date I’ve mostly been selling prints through DA but I dislike not having any quality control over how my prints look and feel it lacks that personal touch of the artist handling the prints that come your way. (I know I like that extra personal touch when I get art for myself <8). You can still get prints through my DA, but for prints through me, I work with custom printing profiles to ensure that the printed art looks as close as possible to how I intended it to look! Also all prints come hand signed with acid free gold or silver pen and usually an extra goody to thank you for your order <:.
I was holding off announcing it until I finished putting together some art bundles to sell and got mailing tubes ordered but I figured I might as well just announce it since there have been some sneaky stealth sales that took me by surprise. If any of those ninja buyers are reading this, thank you! You guys made me smile from ear to ear!
ALSO I am running a print sale on 12x18” signed open edition Lustre prints. The non-sale price is 45$ but at the moment I am offering them at 35$ each. Also, buy one print of any size and all subsequent prints of that size or smaller ship free! The sale will run to October 10th C:.
As it looks like I will not be at FC, I have also compiled some art packs/grab bags for the store! Shipping is FREE on all art pack orders placed within the USA. Each pack is different and a lot of retired prints that won’t be reprinted are included along with many other goodies C:. I may have enough for more bundles but I think the first batch is the best!
I will also be listing any originals I decide to sell, LE matted prints and other miscellaneous handmade items (sketchbooks, Victorian chokers O:, etc).
On an (superfluous personal ;P) sidenote, my original reason for starting the store was to raise enough funds for us to afford a puppy to share our lives with! This is something we have been talking about for years now but we want to be responsible pet owners and be able to set aside emergency funds for the little one before we take the plunge! All the money from the store will be going towards that so a huge thank you to those that already contributed to that fund =D!
PS: Orders on 12x18 prints(and mixed size print orders) placed this week will hopefully go out first thing next week (unless you already ordered, those should go out this week!). I had a bit of a snafu with the place I ordered mailing tubes from and they sent me the wrong size so I am waiting on a replacement now eek!

Best of luck on sales!
I wish I had been able to grab one of the art packs, but I will eagerly watch for more to be available.
A friend had seen an adorable print of a cheetah cub on store envy but couldn't remember the artist's name. So I searched on the site for "cheetah art" and what should show up but your "Persistence of Memory" (which I have been desperate for a print of, by the way, but I have been disappointed by DA's print quality in the past so I was reluctant to buy from there again). The quality on these is miles better, and the colors are so vibrant! I can't wait to frame them and get them hung up for all to marvel at =)
Ironically, I didn't buy the cheetah cub print - after all I found better things to spend my money on! And I will be buying a few more of your prints in a couple of days when I get paid again. ^-^
Thank you for making my day and I truly hope the art brings some small measure of warmth to your days! <3
