Just a quick post to say I plan to vend at Eastern Market Eastern Market this Saturday — I hope you’ll stop by to say hello if you’re in the neighborhood!

SLOT ALERT!
I’ve decided to open up two slots for ink house portrait artwork to be completed over the coming months. The slots will go live at 10am ET THIS FRIDAY 6/12/26, so now is a good time to:

1) familiarize yourself with the product description to make sure this offering suits your vision and decide what size you’d like.
2) set yourself a reminder to head to my shop at the go-live time, as I expect the slots will go fast! I get frequent requests for house portraits but have not had capacity to take on additional ones over the past couple months.
I’ll be posting 1 slot at the 8x10 size and 1 at the 5x7 size. If the size you want appears to have sold out by the time you get to it (while the wrong size is still available), DM me, and as long as one slot still remains, I can change the remaining slot to your size preference.
NOTE: the slot listings that will go live in my shop are for the initial 50% deposit on the full price of the completed artwork (the balance will be due once I complete the art). Once you snag the slot, I’ll email you some guidance for taking good photos of your home (or whatever home I’ll be depicting).

Looking through my bin of old(er) art, I came across this little favorite of mine from 3 years ago. I don’t remember what possessed me, but unlike most times when I do watercolor, for this one I used *only watercolor* rather than starting with a pen line drawing. I remember being really pleased with how it turned out, especially since I didn’t draw a base pencil sketch first.
A detail I really loved about the moment (which I observed at Eastern Market) was that the father had the daughter’s monkey stuffie hanging out of his pocket 🐒
Everyday moments like this can make great keepsake art gifts for a loved one (or yourself!) DM me if you have reference photos you might want me to use in making a special piece of art for you and your family, and I can give you my thoughts.

Need something for Father’s Day (6/21)?
How about an art print of a local spot you’ve enjoyed together? Here’re just a few ideas (check my website for more):
Tune Inn
Jimmy T’s Place
Tunnicliff’s
Capitol Lounge, Beuchert’s, or Thai X-ing (RIP)
The Pug & Toki Underground
Rose’s Luxury
Mr. Henry’s
La Plaza
Pub & the People
Eastern Market
A row of homes flying Nats flags
Or go uber-special and commission me to do a custom piece of a moment between him and your child(ren) or his kiddo(s) at play!

This message appeared when I pulled up my shop, ErinThompsonStudio.com this morning. It appears there’s an issue on Shopify’s end, affecting a number of shops. Hopefully they’ll have me up and running again soon! Apologies for this blip, which is unfortunately (?) out of my control 😩
Meanwhile, Erin Thompson Studio DOES exist, even if my website is struggling. I’m not going anywhere 😁

I’ve been working on a secret project the past couple weeks and can’t share anything yet, but my tester paint daubs shouldn’t give anything away!
I do these marks to test how much paint is on my brush, how the color looks, whether I need to dilute with more water, etc. I like how lively they look all together.

I’m out front of Chisholm Elementary with customer pre-orders, ready for pickup!
I also have two more prints left that are not yet spoken for — an 8x10 and a matted 5x7, so if you missed the pre-order, you can order one now through my website (link in bio 👆) and pick it up from me today (I’ll be here until 3:45) or another time soon from my home by Lincoln Park.

Yesterday afternoon, my son lost a tooth on the way home from school, and he told me the one next to it was loose, too. Then, when I went to bed, I found this note on my bed, and it made me feel happy and wistful at the same time.
The last time my son was at the dentist, they said he had 4 baby teeth left. Now, after yesterday’s developments, there are just 2 more!
These days are fleeting! And that notion is behind why I make art: to capture what’s special to us, so we can keep a piece of it with us, even when things change.
If this speaks to you, and you’d like to capture one of life’s fleeting everyday moments, reach out! You can buy a slot in my shop (link in bio) to start the ball rolling, and then send me some photos so we can decide what will work best as references.
