This dear blogger has decided to open a Zazzle store to offer up some of her more quirky art offerings... This blogger has done a lifetime of piece work and labor intensive stuff... some serious, some fun, but is ready to embrace the offerings and convenience of this not so new digital age (I'm still resisting my digitizing tablet, but one step at a time...). As I said, I plan on offering a number of things that I've done over my blogging career and before, including various ways to sell individual letters (on coffee cups, etc) from the Snag Alphabet so that Snag and I might make enough to go get a drink.
Anyhow, here's the deal. No, I'm not asking you to pony up, what I need is help with the name. I thought I had it. It had been in my mind long before there was a Zazzle... It was Sn'Art. It might make sense to some of you, but what's more important was that it made sense to me. I was 99% sure that this was what it was going to be, but asked a couple of people what they thought and did they like the apostrophe or not...
I had Googled Snart spelled in a variety of creative ways and saw nothing that seemed prohibitive... until kind Google Guru fish informed me yesterday of THIS! Ok, I can have an immature sense of humor along with the best of them and as I said, this store will be for less *serious* stuff, but I don't think I want it associated with a sneeze/fart...
I had mentioned to fish that I was tired and really didn't want to come up with a new name... I liked it better when they just popped into your head in the middle of the night... perhaps I'd call it Cottage Cheese... no, that wouldn't work. fish was kind enough to offer up a number of suggestions
Ouis
in Art? (Made me think of the Piss Christ although I liked it when he said it rhymed with Cuisineart.)
Straight to D'art?
D'art
of the Possible? (This has possiblities)
Thelma's
Truck Stop? (Wha??? While Thelma could outdrink a trucker, she's no truckstop gal...)
And while I'd take almost anything coming from fish, this didn't necessarily strike me as *it*. fish then suggested crowdsourcing. My first thought? Hell no! I don't want anyone to know about this!!
Ok, ok, I saw the silliness of my ways. He was right (you're not always right, fish, so don't let it go to your head.)
So, if you would, please put your minds to work and see if you could offer up something quirky. It would be nice if art were in the name somewhere, but that's not manditory. It also does not need to have Saying yes... in it. If we come up with a winner, I'll send you some of Pinko's Blueberry Whoppers. :)
Artful Codger?

That would be you, fish... and again, it's not all about you. :)

fish- LOL
So far, I think the crickets are ahead.

That totally slipped by me the first time and I believe my grandfather had a Dodge D'art...
Or maybe it was a Scamp...
Who made the Scamp?
Posted by: Jennifer | August 28, 2009 at 12:01 PM
The Plymouth Scamp. That was a sweet ride.

Posted by: Mandos | August 29, 2009 at 12:15 AM
Or maybe Jennifer's l33+ Haus of Artistic Pwnage.
Posted by: Mandos | August 29, 2009 at 02:59 AM
I'm laughing at Haus of Artistic Pwnage!!! However, you lost me on the first part.
And... and Art Yurt would be awesome!
Posted by: Jennifer | August 29, 2009 at 07:26 AM

Or maybe... "Groove is in the Art"
Or...
"Bad Liver and Broken Art"...
The possiblities are endless!!!!

I blame my alertness on slugging down extra coffee in order to warm up my bones. It was 48 when I got up. The weathermen are promising September will be warmer. It won't take much.
Posted by: Jennifer | August 31, 2009 at 08:28 AM
Artbreak Otel
Awesome.
Posted by: fish | August 31, 2009 at 09:17 AM
