  • Have You Checked Out Artfinder Yet?

    Latest | ArtfinderI have been selling on Ebay for a long,

    long time. And I could never get into Etsy (sorry Etsy-lovers, I blame too many visits to “Regretsy.”). I signed up there and never did a thing with it.

    I have to say, I really like Artfinder. They have a really responsive staff (I have questions y’all!), and I sold “Burny the Clown” within a day of putting him up for sale there. I couldn’t believe how responsive the community is. You can support other artists by “♥”-ing their work and “follow” people with art you like.

    It’s really cool and I highly recommend you check it out. If you want me to invite you, you can get a 10% off voucher.
    Just write me at 3@3amgallery.com ,and I’ll send it to you.

  • Halloween Tuxedo Cat Jo Potocki Original Painting Watercolor Kitten Cat Art | eBay

    I spend wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much time on Ebay drooling over in the folk art dolls section – I fell in love with this cat clown doll that was trick or treating – this is the second painting I’ve done of a cat in a similar garb but this cat is a tuxedo cat. Because I have black cat and a tuxedo cat – I’m going to do one more of these for our tabby cat Vylette too.

  • Fear of Drowning Jo Potocki Abstract Blue Black Original Painting Watercolor Art | eBay

    Ever since I can remember, I’ve had dreams of dying by drowning. I have a horrible fear of drowning. I’m the white knuckled person on a boat and cruise is RIGHT OUT. No way. I especially hate dark water I can see in.

  • People with Signs – #1 – #4

    Have you ever had a friendship or relationship with someone and when it finally fractured and you saw the TRUE nature of the other person – we went – “Damn, wish they would have had a sign…”
    Well, I am giving them that. This is a series of pain from my own experiences and stories from friends about People Who Should Have Had Signs.

  • Several New Artworks

    I’ve had my head down doing art. Here are several pieces that are currently up at Ebay and on ArtFinder.  Sidenote : i really like ArtFinder and highly recommend it as a place to sell your art or go find some cool art.

  • Lady at My Bank Jo Potocki Acrylic Raw Collage Outsider Art Orginal Art Public | eBay

    So there was a bit of a snafu with me and my bank.

    I had sold several art pieces to someone that buys pretty regularly, and oops, his payment got returned.

    No problem, I contacted him and he said he needed 2 days and he’d make it right via Paypal. Okay, I’m cool with that.

    So, I had paid two bills based on this deposit and while neither alone would have overdrawn my account, my bank in their infinite wisdom ran both payments and charged me two returned check charges of $37.50 each.

    I called the bank and they basically said, “Up yours, screw you, we already trick you into being your own bank teller now you’ll pay double for NSFs too bwa ha ha ha”…
    Well actually she just said,
    “No, I am sorry policy says we can’t waive the fees.”

    I say I’ll be down to make a deposit in about 2 hours to make everything right and again she reads another canned answer to me.

    Now, I’m annoyed. Does my bank really need those NSF fees that badly? Am I taking cake outta this chick’s mouth by asking her to waive them?

    The way she’s acting you’d think I was.

    We go back and forth and I talk to 3 more “managers” and finally get this utterly cool guy who says, “Hey make a deposit before 4pm today and I’ll go ahead and waive these fees.”

    My faith in cool people is restored.

  • She Had Stink Eye Jo Potocki Acrylic Collage Outsider Art Orginal Art Girl Woman | eBay

    I knew someone once that okay, confession time, I got to the point I would piss her off just to see her stink eye.

    It was amazing how she could squinch up one side of her face and open the other eye HUGE. And look totally displeased while doing it. She Had Stink Eye Jo Potocki Acrylic Collage Outsider Art Orginal Art Girl Woman | eBay

  • I Gave My Cat a Bath Today

    My cat Dexter has a skin problem – he’s an indoor only cat but he’s so allergic to fleas if he happens to get bitten, man, it’s bad. He’s so itchy and miserable. He’s really spazzy and hard to comb because he just wigs out and runs.

    So to give him so relief, he gets a bath more frequently than our other cats.
    Let me stress, Dexter HATES a bath.

    Like if stink eye could kill me to get out of the bath he’d do it – he hates them that much.

    But he seems to feel pretty awesome afterwards so it’s worth all the attitude and stink eye he throws.
    And he even comes and sits with me afterwards so I know it’s all cool.

    This piece is super fun because if you look closely you can see Dexter is painted on paper that is mounted on this canvas. 🙂

  • Burny The Clown Only Did His Act Once – True Story

    In late August, I actually dreamed this. Not of an actual person dressed up like a clown burning, but rather someone was telling me the story of Burny the Clown and how he had this amazing act where he used fired but he only did his act once because he didn’t plan it out very well. It was such a weird dream even for me that I drew a sketch before my morning coffee made the dream fade and then I have been working on this for the past week or so.
    The story of this artwork will be sent and original sketch too if you want it.

    See him now and original sketch is also in the listing : Jo Potocki Funky Folk Art Original Canvas Painting Burny The Clown Did Act Once | eBay
