Well, I did it again.  What I did for 300 hours back in February I've repeated, even if only for a week.  What that means, to the one person who might have stumbled onto this page, is that I painted for a straight week, producing at least one painting for every hour that passed.  The difference between the last time and this one, beside the shorter time frame, is that this Art Crash wasn't planned.  Someone suggested that I should have another  Art Crash and I started a week-long painting marathon the very next day.  Spontaneity is fun...and painful.  I'm just glad this Crash is over.  That said, let's get this in motion.

(To the new guy:  98% of everything you see here was based off something someone suggested that I paint for them.

Keep scrolling if you don't care about that kind of thing.  I don't mind.  Really I don't.)

Jared (still) hates talking about money, but knows that people like cheap art when they can get it.  It's only $10 for any of these if you want them (+8 one time only for goofy shipping from Germany).  That's cheaper than normal but hey, somehow it makes sense in this case. Jared often talks about himself in the third person when money's involved.  Don't ask why.  Jared totally supports the notion of cheap art...if you're interested in anything you see here and want to know more about one or two of these things, email him at Ohgodtherats@aol.com.  You know, if you want.  Oddly enough, all the art is roughly the same size this time around.  Who doesn't love a rough 8 x 11?.

Enough rambling.  Enjoy the Art.  Come back this weekend for the stories behind it.

If you're counting pieces, you'll notice that that is NOT a week's worth of paintings.  I'm actually a few short.  Technically I failed this Art Crash.  I say technically because I painted a LOT MORE than 168 pieces...but I can't share all of them.  On Sunday I started working on something as suggested by one of my favorite authors, Kathe Koja.  This was meant to be my 24 hour comic.  It went in weird places and, well, got complicated.  It'll be on the site soon....but I wanted to polish it since it's sort of personal and something that didn't deserve to be rushed.  So expect something different to make an appearance soon. 

For the sake of excuses, I did work on something else that I can't post on the site either.  If you know me in real life, you've probably already played my card game.  Hell, you might even be addicted to it.  That's right, I'm talking to you Phil.  A rabid gamer (not named Phil) asked me to paint a deck for them and, well, I painted it.  It's not "art" and it's not something that I want to put completely onto the internet...not yet anyway.  These won't make any sense to you, but I figured you might get a kick out of seeing a few of my favorite cards.

Well, that's about it kids.  I've got to return to this thing called "real life."  Whatever that is, I've been neglecting it severely.  Hope you enjoyed the Art and I'll talk to you later.
