February-
Finishing "Grunge Me Seattle" and finishing up another in the Seattle Cats Series called "Coffee Cat" That was started a couple years ago to promote to Star Bucks but eventually, we decided to independently publish it and release it ourselves. The main reason being that "Coffee Cat" fits better in the local Seattle area for various reasons...

Come out and visit Puyallup Custom Frame and Art, in downtown Puyallup, to see Jake's new Celtic Princess! It will be on display during the Celtic Faire along with prints.
We are now working with a professional photographer named Gary Mccutcheons at Mccutcheon's Studio in Puyallup Washington. His expertise has helped elevate the quality of our published work.
Once we get our art back from him, we'll be working on publishing and packaging this new art for the upcoming shows, while the web sites, JakeHose.net and FunwhimsicalArt.com will be updated...

June-
Meeker Days Festival June 18th-19th-20th
This has been a great show for us and was our first festival 5 years ago. We started with a handful of prints and now its grown into quite a show. In this show you will see many framed originals in the gallery that you won't see in the other shows. The Meeker Days Festival is considered the largest street festival in Washington.
We'll be represented by Puyallup Custom Frame and Art beside the famous JC's Music Shop. It's a great show for us because it's where we live in Puyallup Washington and we are very proud of being from the beautiful city of Puyallup.
