My Work In Cleveland's Gateway District

A very, very large "Thank You" to Katie at the " Wonder Bar " on East 4th in Cleveland's Gateway District for your huge part in purchasing six 20x30 prints of mine to be displayed as matted and framed 24x36 pieces in this Cleveland nightspot. It was a pleasure talking with you and accommodating your requests. I continue to be thankful for these opportunities that come up unexpectedly. It is so, so satisfying to be found by someone doing a simple search on the web or by word of mouth. Thanks again, Katie!

     Once again a very large "Thank You" to all those who have made June very special.

This site to be future home of main site....

Beginning in June, this site which is currently my blog site will be combined with my main site and will be reached at the domain www.kennethkrolikowski.com ...that address currently leads to another site but will eventually lead here. Everything will be combined in one site which will be easier to maintain and easier for viewers to browse and inquire info about what I'm up to and what I might be working on. Thanks to all who have viewed both sites!

Animal Abuse/Cruelty Apparel Available

After reading about an incident of someone less than human setting fire to a cat in a Charlotte, N.C. suburb ( http://www.wcnc.com/news/crime/Monroe-Police-Cat-set-on-fire-1-arrested-2-at-large-204306931.html ) , I was immediately looking for a way to help neglected and abused animals. I came up with a slogan/design and made it available at my store hosted by Zazzle. There are two versions. One in black lettering, the other in white. Both designs are available in men's and women's styles with various color choices. A portion of my proceeds will go to the Portage County (Ohio) APL/Humane Society located in Ravenna, Ohio. Their website can be reviewed by clicking here:

The apparel is available through the following links

Re-entering the blogging world

"Night Of Magic"
Kenneth Krolikowski

First of all, a giant 'Thank You" to those that have viewed, purchased and even attempted to find out a little more about me by clicking on this blog or getting in contact with me through my website link or my various online stores. I realize that keeping people up to date on happenings and ongoing work and projects is very important and also that not everyone does the Facebook and/or Twitter thing. Too much time has been spent away from updating and maintaining this blog. I have concentated on the Facebook Fan Page and my main page for too long and too exclusively now so it's time to get back to blogging. It is a fun, informal, non structured way of letting people know more about you. I also feel a more one on one experience with readers. Alot of people read...most don't comment here but many do read.

The last couple of years have been very interesting in that I have left the retail side of things as far as having my work in local shops. I have concentrated on online offerings with
Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/AcrossTheBoardDesign
Fine Art America: http://kenneth-krolikowski.artistwebsites.com/?tab=artworkgalleries
Greeting Card Universe: http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/atbgreetings

I also have been fortunate enough to have had some of my work purchased by NBC and Warner Bros. A Monday through Friday day job gives me only evenings and weekends to "get creative" but it is just one more goal of mine to be able to do the creative thing all the time. One goal at a time.....

Again thank you for being interested and for reading! More updates on new work and other tidbits will follow.

Ken
