continuing to be having more from 2009

and even more from 2009

yet more from 2009

more from 2009

the end of the year approaches, and i always like to compile everything i've done in one nice tidy spot. i still have a handful of pieces to complete in '09, so the year in review will be in multiple parts

thanks to all that have stopped by and looked. hopefully 2010 will be as productive

this is my piece for a show in ohio called Natural Resources. It's being held at Shoparooni. he's part of my scoundrels series

early this year i set out to do a painting a day. i haven't painted regularly in quite some time so i thought it would be a good exercise. each was created in corel painter ( i don't have the space for a painting a day, and this eliminated all the headache of acquiring canvases.

i limited myself to 30 minutes, and i made it just about a month before i crapped out. here are some of the more interesting ones

this one is for a show in california this coming weekend. it started out as a egg qee and somehow became this. i knew i wanted it to have a big mouth on top, and the rest just flowed from there.

creatures are fun to make

i have been very lucky. apparently people trust me with expensive toys because i have been allowed to customize a lot of kaws companions. it was weird painting the first one, but once the door was open it was no big deal to just chop them up and reshape them. expensive toys are fun to desecrate

the faux wood technique was one of the first things i developed when i started customizing toys. i don't do a ton of it now, but i do get requests for it every now and then. this is just a small sampling of all the wood toys i've painted
