Frame Price Increase
We try hard to keep our prices as low as possible, but some things are out of our control. While prices have remained stable on most of the items we use to make our prints, frame prices just keep going up. We always check the current prices about this time of the year, and this year we have found that we are just about at the point of losing money on frames. If we want to continue our business, we can't have that happen. Bottom line is that around February 1st we will be raising prices on almost all of our framed pictures. What does this mean? If you have been debating about getting a nice framed print from us - now is the time. We will hold current prices until at least February 1st, but shortly after that we will be raising prices on framed pictures. Our prices on matted pictures will stay the same on all except for a couple of limited editions that are getting in short supply. So - NOW IS THE TIME TO ORDER FRAMED PICTURES. You can rest assured that we will continue to keep prices as low as we can and still make enough so Kat can keep creating her art. Act now and save yourself a bit. Just so you know, the increases will be in the neighborhood of $2-$3 on most framed pictures.
Calendar Update
We are currently sold out on calendars, and we imagine that most of you have already purchased them if you intend to - but we notice that a lot of folks are still visiting the Calendar Page, so we will leave it up for a bit, just in case you want to get the best deal possible on 12 high quality Katzinn prints.

Next Shows - February in Florida
We will be heading to Florida for a couple of shows this February. If you are around come and visit us either at Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, or at Crafts on the River, part of the huge Edison Festival in Fort Myers. Should be a great time. We have posted our confirmed dates for this year in the schedule area and as usual, hopefully there will be many more to come.
We have talked to a lot of folks about originals at our last few shows. The fact is that Kat's color originals sell extremely quickly. We will try to keep posting her latest work here - and if you see something listed as new and you want to know the size and price of the original - just email us and we can let you know about availability. The other way you can use the email is to order stickers and bookmarks and other smaller items you see at the shows, but not on the website. Just about any picture can be put on a sticker so feel free to ask. For these smaller items, we can work out a shipping cost for you and just send you a Paypal invoice, or you can send us a check. Whatever will work for you. Just let us know. Our email is katzinn@katzinn.com
At last we are done with our index pages. Now your favorite pictures should be easier to find - and browsing will be more fun. Pretty much every image we have available is included on the index pages. We have a few of the limited editions that we have to scan to get them on the site - as well as poster size prints that have never been shown here. Let us know if you have any suggestions on how we can make the site easier to use.
What's New! - Totes - T Shirts
We introduced Katzinn Totes and Katzinn T Shirts at Wheatland. The totes sold out as did most of the t shirts, so we will be bringing them on our tour as well. We haven't quite figured out how to handle these items on the website yet, but we certainly plan on offering the totes and possibly the t shirts, or maybe even transfers to make your own. Watch the website for more info.
Here are some of the newest pictures that Kat has finished. If you click on the pictures you will get to their sell pages where you can order them now.
Katzinn's Latest - 8 X 8 Prints
Kat has been producing a large number of small originals, which sell about as fast as she can do them. We have decided to create a whole group of 8x8 prints of these small originals as well as making available some of her older work that fits that format in this size. To see what is available in the 8x8 prints click here. We think you'll like what you see.
