paintandink is taking a short break

Note from shop owner Ahooyyyy me hearties! We have landed in Maine in a beautiful oceanside town. My shop is now on hiatus indefinitely, while I work on The Handdrawn MFA Project, a self-directed education in fine art and illustration. You can find out more about my current project on Instagram by following @handdrawnmfa.

To be notified when I reopen the shop, please sign up below and follow me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/paintandink. If you're ready to set out on an adventure right away, you can find products with my maps and artwork on them at http://www.zazzle.com/paintandink. In the meantime, please follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, at both @handdrawnmfa and @paintandink to keep up with my own adventures. I can be reached by convo or by email - paintandink [!at] gmail.com - and I will get back to you as soon as I am able, but it may not be as speedy as usual. Thank you! Wishing you wonderful adventures of your own!

On Etsy since 2006

  • Some tools of the trade.
  • Works in progress.
  • One of my bookshelves. I have many, many reference books and never enough shelves.
  • I don't even look for pirate-y stuff, it just comes to me.
  • My studio actually is in the garret. Some days I feel like I should learn French for that reason alone.

Journeys Through Imagination

Welcome to the Interimaginational Institute for Fantastical Exploration & Cartography. I am Alison, the Chief Mapmaker.

Above all else, I am a storyteller. I have told stories through the written word, through television, and through paint and ink.

I have lived at 25 addresses (maybe 26, I think I may have skipped one), in three countries and four U.S. states. I have traveled to 45 states and 14 countries (again, I think) on three continents. I have sent my artwork to five continents. It's a race, and the artwork is winning...

I have been drawing all my life, but it is only when I stopped taking it (and everything, really) so seriously that I could really get down to business. Etsy has made that possible for me, since I opened the paintandink shop almost 10 years ago, in 2006.

I use dip pens and fine watercolors on incredible watercolor papers. As I make my maps, they take me on incredible journeys through imagination and fancy and daydream, and I hope they do the same for you.
