Candy Box!

I just completed my first candy box, I hope to have 4 designs done in time for Halloween & Vine this Fall. This measures just under 4.5" x 2" x 3". I am making 20 of these.

Tiny Portraits & Scrambles in the Night!

It's full fledged summer here in New Orleans, makes it hard to grab the Halloween feeling, but I have been trying my best!

This weekend I completed the 2nd set of Tiny Portraits die Cuts. Each measures about 5.5" tall and goes perfectly with series one. There are only 50 sets of these being made, each one is signed on the back.






This week also saw the completion of the Midnight Scramble board game. This is limited to 25 copies.

Black & White Fright

My very late addition to the May 2010 EHAG Challenge - Black & White fright, on ebay now.

New Sculpture!

I had a great time making this 5" tall candy Container today. There is a plug that pulls out of the bottom to reveal the secret candy chamber. His hair & hat band are made of vintage crepe paper. I am excited to do some more sculpting! I have a few more shots on my flickr stream, but here are two for now.

My Romantic Adventure #50

I had a great time at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment show this past weekend, even if it was thoroughly exhausting. I was able to go to Trader Vic's on Friday Night, one of my favorite places in the world. I even learned to dance the Hula on "Stage" and ended up in a dance off where I went a little nuts perhaps. :-) I met lots of great people, saw old friends, and even found this comic... perhaps the most disturbing Romance cover of all time - My Romantic Adventure #50.


The expression, the thought Balloons, the coloring, everything perfectly marries to produce a truly unforgettable piece of Romantic terror!


I listed a few ACEOs on ebay & etsy today, some I had posted here previously, and some newer ones like these:




I'll close out for now with one more great comic I picked up. I think the scariest thing about it may be his lip!

"The Cheat"

Recently finished 16" x 20" oil on panel. The only guidance was "I want a bunch of your type of characters to be playing poker"; so here it is. PIcture is a bit wonky, but it's the best I could get of it.

Easter Trauma Sketch Cards #6, 7 & 8

Here are the next 3 sketch cards completed for the Limited Easter Trauma sets.

Evening Ride

I finished this piece today, the first Acrylic painting I have done in ages. It ended up being a lot of fun, I think I'll do some more acrylics! I wish the scan could show the luminosity of the glazes, but oh well. I am liking the idea of giant heads lately, not sure why....

Recent Work

Today I finished this 4" x 6" Halloween postcard painting and listed it on ebay. I call it "Grab!"



I also listed this 18" x 24" Oil on canvas which I finished in late November of 2009, this is called "Shame" and is the last in a series of work that was much darker in tone then previous pieces.



I will be a guest artist at the Pop Culture Trading Pins booth at the C2E2 Comic & media convention in Chicago on April 16-18. I am trying to get some extra work done to have with me there for sale. So far I have done 7 sketch cards. I am excited about the show, trhe Last Chicago convention was a blast, If you will be in town, stop by & say hello!
