It’s not often that we, Ron and Joe, invite people to stick it to us. But then these are not ordinary times. Nope, these are times when the old carrot and stick are required tools o’ business. Ergo, for this month only, get our Letter Parts Stick CD for ONLY $49!

Letter Parts Stick is a complete uppercase alphabet, including numbers and punctuation, which has been handcrafted by Robin from Birch tree twigs. You can use them as initial caps or string a few together to create natural looking words and headlines. Most characters are supplied in three forms, with drop shadow, cast shadow or on torn paper. Plus, each file contains embedded paths for easy modification/outlining.

A deal too good to shake a stick at:

Apparently, we, Ron and Joe, have a reputation for running off at the mouth. Gilding the lily, so to speak.Especially when it comes to our monthly Freebies. They claim that we will go to any length (the key word here being length) for the sake of some stupid joke. How dare they! We, Ron and Joe, are so far beyond such gimmicks that it’s not even funny. For instance, this month’s Freebie is eight images of family life. If we’re so run off at the mouthy, wouldn’t we be making a reference to us, Ron and Joe, putting you in the family way? Or mentioning that this is the Mother and Father of all deals?! Or perhaps inviting you to jump into the Ron and Joe gene pool? Well, we’ve said none of those things. Which should certainly put a stop all these ugly attacks on our reputation.

and we’ll put you in the family way. 8 FREE Art Parts family images!

The question is: Are we, Ron and Joe, nuts?! Of course there’s no need to restate the conclusion. Let’s, instead, focus on the symptoms of our “condition”: 1) We wear propeller beanies. 2) We are connected at the ears – then again, that may be causal. 3) We don’t wear pants. That’s mainly attributable, however, to the fact that we have no body mass beneath our noses (see picture above). 4) We are currently selling Art Parts CD-RON 5 for $100 off. That’s it! Symptom #4 is more than enough to convict us, Ron and Joe, by a jury of our peers (there’s a visual).

If you’d like to take advantage of our condition, and get 700+ Art Parts images – in both color and b&w – for only $89 click on the link below. But you’d best hurry as the court will be locking down our assets after May 31.

Get CD-RON 5 for only $89 ($100 off)! Ends 5/31/10

Does a bear wear bunny slippers?! Of course he does. And so do we, Ron and Joe! Give away Freebies every month, we mean. So, even though we haven’t been real dependable of late with updating this here blog, you can count on us to offer up several free stock images every time you turn the page on your calendar.

This month we’ve got eight Art Parts clip art and stock illustration images of animals ready for you to download. Each one describing the animal kingdom in a very Ron and Joe way. Which is a good thing. Or not. Depending on your point of view and moral boundaries. For instance, would the image to the left offend some people? Does a bear read the Wall Street Journal?

Every year roundabout this time, we, Ron and Joe, have the same problem. The minute the weather turns to the better, something awful happens. We get all giddy and chipper. Happy. Even get satisfied, complacent. These are dangerous feelings for us, Ron and Joe. Why?! Because, whenever these emotions descend upon us, we give away the store! Literally. Art Parts images start flying out of here on the wings o’ chirping mockingbirds and the bushy tails o’ chattering squirrels. It’s like some horrible scene deleted from Bambi for being too graphic for audiences in the early 40s. Or for us, Ron and Joe. WE’RE RUNNING A BUSINESS HERE, PEOPLE! Please, for our sake, get us some rain, sleet, snow, what have you! Stop this chirping and chattering and flying away of our profits!

Here’s another recent example of one of our custom jobs, from another of our favorite clients: Duffy’s Love Shack. A bar in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Shark Tank is an alcoholic drink which is served in a 64-oz. glass and, evidently, is rather strong. Here’s what Liz Duffy told us: “The nice thing we discovered after a few visits from the Navy is that after you consume the 16 ounces of alcohol in this 64 oz drink, the glass makes a nifty repository when it all comes back up! Hope you find that works for you too!” Boy, has it, Liz! We, Ron and Joe, are now officially a couple o’ chummin’ chums. If you know what we mean.

Well, we, Ron and Joe, were available. For a while. And, we guess, it wasn’t exactly us that was available. After all, we’d command much more than 99¢. We figure we’ve got more of an EP value. And what do they go for, like $3.49? Anyway, what we’re trying to say here is that a design of ours was on iTunes. One of our all-time favorite clients, Lingolook Publishing, has an App product (iLoveYou in 50+ Languages) which was featured in the iTunes store for the couple o’ weeks prior to Valentine’s Day. They asked us, Ron and Joe, to create some banner art which Apple could use for said such. We said okey doke, we’d love to. And you can see the results to the left. Sometimes the little jobs are the most fun. Even better, we got paid like 99¢. Woof.

Excerpt from this month’s RonandJoe.com Newsletter: Upon reading the above headline and reviewing the graphic to the right, I know the glee you must be feeling. Not about our 50% OFF (almost) EVERYTHING SALE (although that’s pretty good, I guess.) But because I’ve finally found a way to get Ron out of the way. He was really cluttering up things, don’t you think? Especially our logo! WHAT an eyesore. (Note: For those of you who actually like Ron, don’t get your knickers in a bundle. He’ll be back in March. Pretty much about the same time that this sale will be ending. Coincidence? I think not. Remember: Ron’s the cheap one. So you’d better do your Ron and Joe shopping this month! Make that your Joe shopping. Because none of this would be happening if HE were around.)

We, Ron and Joe, were in the mood for a little silliness today (as opposed to most days when we’re pretty much all business). Meet Chip, Oakley, Macy, Maggie and Max – the most recent additions to our Silly Pets page. Here’s what their Aunt Jen had to say when she sent us their photo: “I recently took a water color class and wanted to surprise my sister by painting her dogs. So I asked her to send me a picture of all of them together. The only way she could get them all to sit (well actually stand) nicely next to one another was to stand in her bathtub while holding a treat. They focused on the baby carrot while she snapped the pic.” We salute you and your sisiter, Jen. You two spared no effort in bringing a little more silliness into the world. We, Ron and Joe, will sleep a little better tonight because you did. Woof.

We, Ron and Joe, have no idea what “pig in a poke” means. We don’t even know what a poke is (do they have those in the suburbs?). All we’ve determined is that when a pig’s in a poke it’s a bad thing. Which is why it’s strange that we, Ron and Joe, are even bringing it up here. Guess that’s the downfall of stream of consciousness marketing. Let’s try this again:

HURRY! Until January 31 you can get $100 off an Art Parts 3D Parts CD! 40 Joe sculptures of Business & Travel objects which have been photographed and saved with embedded paths. Perfect for use as spot images.  And you’ll get them all on CD for only $89! Well, heck, that’s better than a poke in the eye.
