New Halloween Postcard Release

The newest Limited Halloween card is titled "Breakthrough", and will be added to my big cartel shop on monday morning. This will be a run of only 12 copies, each embossed and gilded, except for #1/12 which will have a drawing on the back instead of embossing. #1/12 will be listed on ebay this morning. Following the sell out of this release, a variation will be available in a less limited capacity and without the embossing or gilding.

Also hitting ebay today, a hand drawn & painted 4" x 6" postcard titled "Reel Around the Candle"

The next Wacky Packages postcard series is coming soon from Topps. I have some paintings in this set, and will provide information as soon as it becomes available.

Have a great Mother's Day!

Recent Halloween art

These two pieces are hitting ebay this week. Both are exploring different techniques and color choices.

"The Main Ingredient" is postcard sized watercolor, graphite & ink.

"The Taunt" is 5.5" x 8.5" and is watercolor & ink with more subdued colors than I usually use.

Kaiju For Japan

I am participating in a group sale to benefit victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Kaiju For Japan is a collection of artist made goods varying from custom painted figures to paintings and prints. I have donated 4 custom Japanese vinyl monsters. I painted each one with Montana Gold Spraypaint. The theme I have gone with is Despair and hope, so there is a light and dark version of the two characters I chose to paint. The Shop goes Live Friday April 22nd, it will appear to be under maintenance until that day. Kaiju for Japan Shop These are the 4 Pieces I donated, prices range from $50 to $200. Check out the sale, lots of great pieces being offered and all for a good cause. Here is a preview.

Big Cartel

I have closed down the regular store section of the website and am in the process of moving it into a Bigcartel shop. I like the cleanliness and ease of uploading. This will allow me to offer more one off pieces as well as things not directly related to halloween. As time allows over the next couple weeks I will continue to add new and old pieces.

Debuting in the shop is a new mini die cut transparency version of the Haunted Log. This is the first color version and is limited to only 4 copies.

His Majesty

My newest Painting in the Halloween Portrait series... His Majesty. This went on ebay today.

2 more sculptures

The Leafy Miser has a pull out plug in the bottom, and silver accents on his stem, eyes & leafy ears. The Cat Clown has a blue light on one side, and a purple on the other, with a black fade down the middle. Silver highlights his chin, forehead & Button.







I had fun making the veggie man so I made two more. I am going for a carnival chalkware sort of color approach on these.

New Sculpture!

I decided to try a new technique with sculpture, so here is the 1st attempt. This is a 9" tall veggie man candy container with removable head. He is made of polymer clay and sits on a vintage wood base. A jaunty guy with some serious swagger in his step!

Scout!

Brand new painting on postcard sized paper listed on ebay 3/13/11. I wanted to get back to basics on this one and do a straight up gouache painting with simple imagery.

Mini Die Cut #6

I am back home and catching up after a week visiting friends and family. Time to get some new things ready for ebay!

I just finished the newest mini Die Cut. There are only 6 of this one being made, each one is hand cut & embossed. #1 of 6 is green, the other 5 are orange.




Also going up on the 26th a New ATC and a Postcard sized painting

The Poisoner



Suiting Up

Halloween at Raynham Hall

This week's ebay postcard sized painting is based on the classic ghost photo, The Brown Lady Of Raynham Hall. I first saw this Photo in 2nd grade when I checked a book about ghosts out of the school library. Since then , this has always been there in the back of my mind influencing most of what I do or what interests me. It dawned on me I never directly incorporated it into anything yet, so I did this small painting. I think I will eventually do a larger oil of a similar image.

The Brown Lady..... Some Say you can see some children in there with her, but who can say for sure.
