New Painting! Ron Swanson!

Here's a new painting I just finished of Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec.  It's acrylic paint on 24"x24" stretched canvas.

"I’m a simple man. I like pretty, dark-haired women, and breakfast food." - Ron Swanson

New Work! A Mutant Lion Monster!

Here's a new painting/print I just finished.  It's a little more cartoony than normal but fits in with my bat guy and 3-eyed horned monsters.  But I liked the way it turned out.  I think I should do another one with it playing with a big ball of string. 

The painting is acrylic paint on a 16"x20" canvas.  And the print is available from my Etsy site.

DC Signature Collection Review

My review of the DC Signature Collection I did for the Phantom Troublemaker is up.  Check it out HERE.  It's got a lot of photos that I had a blast taking the other night.

Go check it out!

New work! Star Wars / GNR Wood Cut

Here's my 2nd attempt at a wood cut (my 1st attempt is here).   The straight lines on this one were tough and I think I'll stick to more organic shapes from here on out.  It took some sanding to get the lines straight-ish.  But at the end of the day I liked how it turned out.  I think next time I will try a thicker piece of wood to get more of a 3D effect.   I have a print of the same design HERE and HERE.

re: Cabbagetown Chomp & Stomp 2013

Thank you to everyone that made it to the Cabbagetown Chomp and Stomp this Saturday!  It was a beautiful day and I had a blast.  Load in was a little rough.  I owe a huge thanks to all my friends that helped me set up in record time and watched my booth while I braved the lines for the port-a-potties.   Once I was set up it was a perfect day.

As always please send me an email if we talked to about a commissioned painting or purchasing something at a later date.  You can always go to my Etsy shop for select prints or magnets.  If you don't see what you were looking for them please let me know.  Thanks again!!!

Next up for me is the Indie Craft Experience (ICE) Holiday Shopping Spectacular!
