The first weekend in December is almost upon us, and that can only mean one thing--It's time for the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild's Annual 5" x 7" Show ! This show, which has been dubbed "Everyone's Favourite Little Show" has become a Woodstock institution since its inception ten years ago.

Sado Monarchism (44" x 55") by Paul Baines is the twelfth limited edition digital print in the Indoor Street Art series available here . Britain offers no real human rights. We are subjects of the Queen who is legally nothing more than a token figurehead for a fractured democracy. We live under the rule of an authoritarian unelected leadership and are constantly spied upon by all means available including CCTV and intrusion in all communications without the approval of a British judge...

Sado Monarchism by Paul Baines My latest work available as a digital print via Image Kind. I know I know, I said no more digital prints, but seeing as I'm still testing the water with screen prints I wanted to give people a chance to get a copy before the year is out. I'm planning to screen print this along with Black Christ and Reigning Men in early 2010. Hopefully Black Christ will be out for Xmas - we'll see. Get a digital print of 'Sado Monarchism' at 55" x 44" for  $50.99 here... Read Full Story

Personally I and my other half have always loved his resin sculptures, and if the ‘Love’ edition of his latest batch was still available we’d have forked out the wonga by now. It comes in a limited edition batch of 25 and includes a hand silk... Read Full Story

There are many reasons why people call New Mexico “The Land of Enchantment.” Just look around you and you can’t help but be impressed by the geography and natural beauty. Every time I head home towards the east in Albuquerque, I am moved by the grandeur of the Sandia Mountains. Driving from the west to the east at night along the Paseo del norte is one of my favorite pleasures because you can see the twinkling of the lights all the way up to where residential lines end and reservation land...
