Unique artwork by Jason Ratliff #walkingShadow is #rightUPmyalley!

Meet artist Jason Ratliff! One of my faves. His lines include Walking Shadow and Float. Which are pretty self explanatory. I found his artwork featured on Fancy and immediately fell in love with the Superman Print.  What I didn't know is there is also a feminine version of it with Superwoman & a little girl. I wanted to buy it for Rowan so bad. I got it! And It looks fabulous in his room.

You can find his art on Curioos and also on his site: Jason-ratliff.com his artwork averages about 20 for a small print to 200 for GIANT prints, plus you can get them on canvas as well. Not only can you get them on acid free paper and canvas or even just framed, but also on a aluminum and acrylic glass print too. I think his artwork is a perfect gift for a gal like me who can be really hard to shop for! Not only is it detailed and unique but affordable and remarkable. I have had countless comments and compliments on this artwork since I hung it in my house.


Really, we are more of batman people, so I probably should have reviewed the batman artwork instead. Check it out!

I love that all the mosaic prints are original and there is also a TMNT print!!! My print is 28x20 and retails 140 on Curioos. The best part is: you can sign up for their newsletter and get a 10% discount usually. Also try searching the web for other sales and discounts for this artist and sites he uses.

The name of my print is WALKING SHADOW: HERO - the feminine version feat Superwoman is called Walking Shadow: Heroine.
He has another line I'm digging on too called FLOAT. 

I want to thank him SO MUCH for sending us this print. I am eternally grateful and will be purchasing some more of his artwork very soon!  I suggest you do too! Throw Pillows, Laptop skins, Tshirts and iPhone cases featuring his artwork can also be found on Society6. The link is found on his personal webpage top right corner where it says "SHOP". 

Jason Ratliff is from Indianapolis, INDIANA. Designer by trade, artist by heart. He aims to create works that charm. Playful explorations of mixing intricate illustrations of the mundane with smacks of lively bright color that breathe life.

What I thought about Makit!

Some of the original templates, we drew so many, we had a hard time choosing which plates to order... in the end, I used some of my own money in addition to the three free plates for the blog review, so we could get more of the plates we drew.

Well if you missed my first post about Makit, check it out and see what they are all about, as well as get a special coupon code for a purchase. I loved that Makit offers you a discount, the more plates you order, the more money you save. But honestly, the best part was the not the quality, which was ON POINT *& impressive BUT instead was speed. see, I mailed off my form with the templates we colored on a Friday and the following THURSDAY not even one full week later I had the plates we ordered in hand. We were gifted 3 plates for this and the last review, but I did pay for extra plates with our own money. 30$ to be exact for the 6 plates. Not too bad, putting them at 5$ a piece for this blog review. In that case, I hate it when blog reviews cost me my own money .. BUT you know I am telling the absolute truth about the plates. I love them, and I am sure they will be treasured in the years to come. They are supposed to be dishwasher safe, but I'll just hand wash them for now... so far so good. I give this company 2 thumbs up!!!  Very unique gift that would be perfect for an adoring grandparent. With the holidays coming up, you should definitely keep Makit Products in mind: My readers save 30% on their Prepaid Art Plate Kit (that’s a savings of over $5!) -

Makit began as the creation of Bob Hodges in 1969. One day a neighbor, who was a teacher said, "Wouldn't it be fantastic to capture kids' artwork on something useful, instead of it falling off the refrigerator and throwing it out?" With a background in plastics and dinnerware manufacturing Bob saw an opportunity to create a craft medium that children and parents would love.
