Did I just drop my first 24" x 18" ice cream cone print? Yes, Ma'am!






Celebration Cone, an open-edition signed art print, available in 2 sizes: 16" x 12" and 24" x 18" (pre-order only right now for the large size; large size will ship rolled in a tube).

Something I've been asked a lot about over the years is, will you ever make larger prints? My answer was always maybe, someday. But I'm happy to share that I'm dropping my first larger open-edition art print of Celebration Cone, at a 24" x 18" size (pre-order only right now) as well as a 16" x 12". This print is signed and titled, and printed on heavy museum-quality photo-rag paper using archival inks for longevity. The print is borderless.

So if you'd like a big pop of fun and color on your happy walls, check out the new drop!

This will also be the featured print for my Mini Ice Cream Print Club for November, which you'll get if you join between October 1 and October 31. That is a signed, open-edition print at 7" x 5", which will ship via snail mail in mid-November.

Happy Art for Happy Walls! Thanks for visiting!

Last Day to Get the Strawberry Scoops Mini Print When Your Join My Mini Monthly Ice Cream Print Club

 

Join the Mini Monthly Ice Cream Art Print Club

Okay, I get it, I'm talking a lot about my new print club for my ice cream paintings. But you know what? It's kind of awesome. The prints are kind of awesome. And it's a sweet way to start collecting some really amazing art (if I do say so myself!) at an affordable price. Plus, the whole snail mail concept -- retro, super cool, whatever you want to say about it -- but I like to think it helps to connect us all in a way that social media and the internet just can't do. You can read some more about why I did this snail mail project here

So yeah, last day! Last day to sign up to get next month's print is always going to be the last day of the previous month. Get Strawberry Scoops sent to you in mid-October when you sign up by the end of the day today. 

As always, thanks for your kindness and support. Please share my happy art with anyone you think needs a pick-me-up, calorie-free. I do my best to bring some extra smiles into the world.

Why I Made a Snail Mail Art Print Club

Join by September 30 to get the first mini print drop, Strawberry Scoops, sent to you via snail mail in October.


Short Story Time: So a couple of weeks ago, I announced that I was creating a Monthly Snail Mail Art Print Club, where you can get miniature prints (usually around 7" x 5") sent to your mailbox every month via snail mail. It makes things affordable for you and for me and enables me to share my happy art with more people, which is always the goal. But that's not the only reason.

When I went away to college, my grandmother wrote a short letter to me religiously every week. It was never about anything particularly significant -- often about the weather, or what she and my grandpap were doing in the garden, or how they were excited for upcoming holidays. I was a very lonely 18-year-old, who had uprooted myself from my small-town, shy ways, and I had a difficult time adjusting. Opening my mailbox in the college mailroom and getting that flowery stationery from my grandma each week just lifted my spirits. It made me feel like someone cared. Though I never told her how much they meant to me, I saved every letter she wrote, and still have them decades later, in a carefully treasured box. 

The world is in a difficult state right now. We are all trying to navigate some very challenging times. Just getting a little boost of joy like a piece of happy snail is something that I feel can make a very small difference. I'm just an artist; I've dedicated myself to making happy art. So whether you get a painting, a print, or just follow my work on my website or social media, I want you to know that I paint from a place of sincerity, calling on all of the voices in my life that have loved me and taught me to look for the happy moments.

I appreciate your interest in my work. I hope it lifts you up. I hope you see through the dark times and look for the light. I hope you take this as encouragement to stay positive and do something kind today, because that type of behavior is ultimately what will really change the world. 

Or hey, maybe you just like ice cream and want to see it on your desk or walls! I can help with that.

Join My New Mini Monthly Ice Cream Art Print Club - A Happy Little Snail Mail Project

Join by September 30th to get the first signed mini print, Strawberry Scoops, mailed to you via snail mail this October.   

Well, folks, I'm deep in the midst of new painting projects for my 2026 show at Hidell Brooks. I've been sharing some images of these new paintings, which I call cookie landscapes, so I hope you've been following along on social media and will continue to check out my new pieces!

In the meantime, though, despite loving my work, I'm feeling a little isolated in my studio, and so I've been considering ways to share my art with more people and develop some deeper connections with my followers. This week, I'm very excited to announce that I'm launching a monthly snail mail art print club, featuring mini prints of some of my most popular ice cream paintings from recent years. 

My work has always been about joy and nostalgia, and introducing an affordable snail mail way to collect my art just seems like the right fit. Who doesn't love cheerful snail mail? The occasional card, letter or small gift can just lift your spirits, in a way that social media really doesn't. 

So if you enjoy my ice cream paintings and would like to get a little bit of joy and color in your mailbox each month, please be sure to check out my member sign up page. For $19 a month, you'll get a signed mini fine art print featuring one of my ice cream paintings, encased in a protective plastic sleeve, and a short letter, sharing a bit about how or why I created the piece, or what's going on in my art life. It ships in a simple stamped envelope, which helps keep costs super low.

Whether you want to keep them, collect them, or share them with others, I think you'll find that they're just so cute and sweet you can't help but love them! 

Thanks as always for your kindness and support! Let's save the world together with some happy art!


These open-edition mini prints are signed KimT on the front, and titled and signed on the back. Ships via snail mail!
