"MCA Art & Graphic Studio" 

The name "MCA Art & Graphic Studio" for my freelance art business was originally birthed on a school-related field trip due to the rules for each one of us drafting and design students to make a name for either a company where anyone of us may have worked or a made-up name.  Since I already had experience as a freelance artist for an advertising agency and with my expertise of house portraits for various clients, the light bulb finally clicked. I wanted to call it by either my name or initials, plus adding an art and graphic related association.    Voila! Good idea at a great time.

I designed and painted onto an eighth of an inch thin plywood board advertising my freelance art and graphic studio.  I made the initials to be the largest so it can take at least fifty per-cent of the sign.  The large periods that are added between my initals are used for distinction.  My full name is located beneath the initials as one-eighth of that sign.  My other talents that are listed take three-eighth of this sign which are located at the bottom.

My business name was almost immediate; however, the logo took much longer since I was seeking an exact style that reflected my personality. I feel that my business cards and logo with the sign make it stand out with an added “pop”.

"Welcome To Our... Tag-Along" for the serious RV-ers

"Welcome To Our... Tag-Along"

"Welcome To Our Tag-Along"

This is a wooden folk sign that I am selling on my Etsy shop.  There was a time that I was drawing as well dooding out ideas about RVs and signs relating to them.  On one late Sunday afternoon, I have gotten this idea through a man shortly after I was telling him about several ideas relating to this subject matter. He was drew out an image of a sign that he did for his own family's RV and then gave it to me for an idea.  However, I did do some deviations from what he game me while I was creating this sign.  

My Etsy shop address is as follows: Etsy.com/store/marycaikens1artlady.  When you log onto Etsy.com, you would see on the upper part of the strip that says "search for items or shops", then type in marycaikens1artlady, and you should not have any problems when you when you type my store's name.  This particular item is sold through Etsy, and yes; I do accept payments through PayPal and credit cards.

Thank you very much and blessings,

Mary C. Aikens, Artist  :-)
