Just a little bit of an artwork share. Pickleball eyeball crying pickleball paddle tears.
I've decided to share the process and posts and get it out there. People are stealing it but I did it first. :)
Wait till you see what's coming next.

To all the Points I've lost before!
Thanks to Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson of course for the fantastic inspiration song for this parody,
(a dark side of pickleball, this is not about "pickleball")
So in order to get the correct history out there I was inspired to make my own art, based on the actual dog Pickles who is shown in the Bainbridge museum and also in books. (my tongue is as red as that telling text is from biting it, my fingers aching at the keys for all the words I want to add.....but I digress)

Explainer and introduction video, who is Pickleball ARTwear? (Rachael Chatoor, pickleball parody creator for PicKleTEL records)
Here is a little last minute shot of the products before I closed my store. I still have the designs for all of these so they can enter the market place again when I decide I have the right ducks in a row. :) (Or if someone wants to buy them) Also....more about everything here: Pickleball ARTwear explainer site
As you may have been following I have had my own history with a company.
You see I recently noticed their new website and rebrand included my own older brand name:
I also wrote to them before posting publicly, and let them know they were using my brand name and that while I had just closed my own shopify store I was still using it and had published books and clothing with that brand name on it, and still was doing so.
In a really small space such as pickleball and seeing as they had gone all the way through Nationals introducing their brand while not using my name but just their own, I thought they could easily pivot and change it back up, I mean it's a small pickleball world and clearly I've been using it, so why not?
But no. My comments got deleted or ignored and eventually, the point just blatantly missed.
Somehow my reply got turned into a reel on my own Instagram page and it turned out so perfectly with the image that it was attached itself to, I left it up. The power of the response was just stunning to me.
How can anyone be unsure of the problem here?
This is a small, small business. I am a small time artist, I've done nothing but support other small biz and women and try to make people smile and laugh with art and music.
Even if they didn't know, once they did... they ghosted me and just kept going or said the above, that they don't see the problem.
My thoughts are simple really and inspired my latest t-shirt design and meme. (you can get this image on a shirt, without the words) See design here
The world starts to heal when we speak up about wrongs we see, rather than ignore them.
I'll be happy to take every bit of my ugly opinion down as soon as they stop being facts (and/or using my name).
