Prints, Paintings & One-of-a-Kinds by Jules Henry
I am super thrilled to announce the opening of our own store front: Shop.OrignauxMoose.com!
This has been a long time coming, but I finally found the time to put it all together. Last night I put the final touches on everything, though I still have a few more pieces to list. The Etsy Shop will still be up and running, for now, and we will still continue to keep it up-to-date. No point shutting our selves off from such a popular site.
Hope you like! :)
I hope this post finds you all well! This weekend I put the finishing touches on a complete overhaul of OrignauxMoose.com!
I have pushed the theme of the site to more of a portfolio. I’m interested in showing my work (in galleries, fairs, etc.) and I wanted to have something to direct people towards that displays my art, not just a blog that I haven’t been able to update since March. So, now I’ve got separate pages for the bigger projects (Ladies in Type, Stitched-Up Maps and Prints) and I’ve selected a handfull of my favorite paintings, drawings and misc pieces.
The blog is still here, for when I have the time to pick it back up again; but, I may need to reconsider what the blog is really about… Until then, feel free to check in to see new art and Shows & Events I’ll be attending (especially if you’re local Santa Cruz people)!
Love,
- Jules
I ended last week with something space related; why not start this week the same way by admiring these stunning quilts by Jimmy McBride!
I’ve seen Legos used as design elements and details, but I’ve never seen it look so classy!
… [T]he renovation also brought him something straight out of a toy-store fantasy: a wall and staircase made completely of Legos. Working with Suzan Wines, co-founder of I-Beam Design, Marks dreamed up the concept based on both Archie’s love for the bricks and her own affection for geometric, abstract design and Lego-like colors, which carries through the rest of the apartment. To install the wall, they enlisted Sean Kenney, one of only five people in the country licensed by the Lego company to undertake projects as ambitious as, say, a four-foot, 13,000-piece replica of the Empire State Building. In the end, the building process took Kenney and his two assistants two weeks of fourteen-hour days to complete. The staircase, however, is still something of a work-in-progress, as Archie and his playdates are always adding their own structures to it.
Also, this is my new dream work/art space… all those drawers for prints and paper and supplies!!!
Spectacular weekend, I must say! The weather was down-right magical (I hope this doesn’t mean the end of the month is going to be brutal).

Oh! Well, a happy Monday to you, as well! Been crazy busy in these neck of the woods (almost even missed today), so this little blog suffered a bit; sorry about that.
Above is some really neat interactive art by Scott Garner, entitled “Still Life”.
Years ago I had the idea of a still life painting that wasn’t so still, but could never quite wrap my head around how to build it. After various experiments and explorations, I settled on Unity 3D as the ideal tool to make it happen.
I am speechless!
When struggling with artistic vision, Fukahori’s pet goldfish became his inspiration and ever since his passion and lifelong theme. His unique style of painting uses acrylic on clear resin which is poured into containers, resulting in a three-dimensional appearance and lifelike vitality.

Well, this weekend was pretty quiet. Aside from a trip to the Bargain Barn with Jess (yay, frames!) and a quick bite at Paula’s, it was a stay-at-home, watch-some-anime-and-Goodfellas kinda weekend.
I did have a small project for myself, and that was to get these “Ladies in Type” sketches matted and framed. I think that turned out great and go really well with the big pieces.
For larger photos and see the final pieces, check out the Flickr set.
Part of the Art 404 collection, 5 Million Dollars 1 Terabyte, is just that:

Oh, all the wonderful possibilities with ixxi tiled wall art! Pixelated or enlargement. Fine art or photography. Collage or patterned.
I’d love to put together a collaged set, featuring our road trip… or my fav NY pictures… or maybe our prints… or Orignaux… I can’t choose!

Once upon a time a California boy met a Georgia girl in New York. They didn't get along, at first. But, little by little, they fell in love. Today, they are happily living in Santa Cruz, CA and still very much in love, running an Art & Print shop and a branding & design business together.
