This was a great idea, I'm always surprised when people come to me with a concept that I hadn't even considered. This was commissioned by a Father for his daughter's room, it's the whole family, Dad, Mom and Daughter so they are together in the child's room. It actually kind of made me tear up when he suggested it as a concept. It's genius.

This was a great commission, "Izzy" with an Asian/ Indian theme.Represented here we have an Elephant with it's trunk raised, which I believe means "good luck", an Ox as the child was born in the year of the Ox and an Asian Phoenix and a carp and Banyan tree - when I'm told what those symbols mean I will add that here.
Well, Christmas is approaching Shoppers and so is a big show of paintings at the Press Club for the month of December so I would reccomend ordering your letters for kids now as opposed to later.

Here are some odds and ends that I found on my drive that I hadn't previously published, the "H" was from a set of tools for a child's name, for some reason I only have the saw, there were hammers and a screwdriver also, but I didn't photograph them.
The rocket ships were done awhile ago as an example of some patterns - have to get back to doing some more of these.
The "C" is for Churchill was for a good friend's child whose last name is, well you get the picture.
The pterodactly was a custom for another client, there were other dinosaurs, I assume that I didn't photograph them either (whoops).
And finally the "A" was for a giveaway that I did with "High Maintenance Mom" a great blog that I'll add to the links section.
As always letters are Sixty Dollars each, Three for One Hundred and Fifty dollars.
All the best,
A.S Hahn







I can't believe I never posted these, I took these photos awhile back just for fun and to show some options to people for what combinations of letters may look like. Also new in the "LINKS" section is a new business, "caterpillar baby' which is a source for affordable cloth diapers and eco friendly baby products. Check'em out.

Here's a super cool project, "the Adventures of Jungle Jack" was commissioned for a dear friend and I thought it turned out really swell. I had wanted to do something special and new, a narrative that would hang together with a recurring character was a nice change. I apologize to you alphabet fans as I've been spending alot more time with your more morose sibling "the mad craft shoppe" but since the sun is coming out and the flowers are bloomin' I make a promise to post at least ten new styles in the next week or so, high time we shot some new ideas out there for the world to see.
To order, commission or compliment you can reach me at the email below, as usual letters are 12x12 acrylic on canvas, $60.00 ea., three for $150.00 (unless it is a special request, price does change with unique commissions).

As always, letters are sixty dollars each, three for 150.00
