mintie whatnot
Welcome. The first 4 blog chapters contain a funny long-form comic about an egg that thinks it’s a certain well-known TV personality
If you’re here because of my watercolour paintings, see temporary blog chapters 5 and 6 with sold works and available works.
Chapter 7 is the next comic in progress, about me arguing with the work computer, begun out of frustration at lack of creative output since starting full-time employment taking calls for large business cults (two different ones so far. I found the first one shocking enough. The second one is much worse, haHA. Ha. ha.). More unlicensed cameos from medium/high level famous people, e.g. Black Francis. Slight language warning.
Feel free to leave a message at mintiewhatnot@mintiewhatnot.com – Or info@mintiewhatnot.com. – YES I DO COMMISSIONS, am in the middle of one right now – prices range, so far, from $120 to $450 for framed works, depending on size and amount of detail. Price for individually drawn and painted greeting cards, on good quality watercolour paper, depends on the design, and number of cards. Probably a minumum of $15 for a card, which I agree is a lot of money for a card. If it’s, say, a run of 20 or more Christmas cards with a fairly simple graphic, we could maybe get it down to $10 per card. The cards do look really good framed, so actually they are a bargain. You can see some cards at the end of the the Sold And Commissions post.
ABOUT
mintie whatnot is still trying to ignore rules of punctuation, inconsistently.
Other interests include baking cakes without a recipe, irregular sleep hours & ampersands.
Dislikes intensely: books, yoga, and wine, if listed together as the only interests of anyone on social media
PAST RAGING SUCCESSES
Oil landscape paintings, watercolour landscape paintings, acrylic graphic-style paintings
‘Fergus the Fly’ hand-drawn animation, 800 frames, about 4mins on super-8 film
Exhibitions of paintings and drawings in cocktail bars, mansions, shop windows and one theatre
Large and small batches of handmade Christmas cards, drawn and coloured individually
Series of colour character graphic designs for permanent application on a white Porsche. The owner’s son said they would never speak to their dad again if he got the dancing parrot etc put on the car. Dad did it anyway.
Hand painting on life-sized and miniature Berlin Bear mascot figures (3D). The life-sized bear is bolted onto a concrete block in the purchaser’s garden, after being sealed with car laquer. The car workshop asked the purchaser to never bring them a job like that again, and said they needed more laquer than for a car. One of the mini bears went to the Morroccan ambassador to Germany at the time.
Handmade fridge magnets, acrylic on wood
Shop signs/ wall-sized exterior or interior design

mintie is always available for side collaborations and talks worldwide. If you want to chat on the basis of yoga, books and wine being a complete lifestyle, it could get a little goofy : )
