Cardinal Plochman Killbear

A few watercolors to start off this beautiful newborn baby year, 2000 and 12. Although, I should say that only the red-crested cardinal was painted this year. Plochman (2011) and Killbear (late 10's (haha...10's)) are creatures from another time and place altogether.

Fall

Two countem' two trees painted with acrylics on roughly 2" x 4" layered card stock my mom gave me. She's always giving me cool little surfaces to paint on, not to mention tons of sculpy, paint, and ideas as well! Thanks, Mom. Love you.

Kloudt

Kloudt
acrylic on canvas
2"x 2"

a small, textured, three-drip cloud in a shiny golden sky with highlights of blue, red, purple, green and beelack. Its called Kloudt because the background reminds me of some of the works of Austrian painter Gustav "Klimt".

Monster posters

 Here are the four Classic Monster prints Eric and I have done so far. They are 11" x 17" and awesomely terrifying. Eric did the mummy and Frankenstein's Monster, and I did the Nosferatu and werewolf. Only 20 were made of each of these ones, and all are hand numbered and signed, only $15!! We still have lots of the original run of the frankenstein and werewolf prints a few posts down. The new ones had a few small changes done to them. Anyways...

Acuarela

Here's a couple of watercolors done last year. The first one has a slime-shiny snail slowly sliding down the mounted head of a wild boar. The second, titled A Friend of Owls, was painted on day one of two thousand and ten.
p.s. acuarela is watercolor in spanish!

Satan n' son

acrylic on canvas
5" x 7"
2011

an almost abstract painting of the devil and one of his many offspring (I'm sure he has lots).
Just to be clear, I know I have a lot of devilish art on this blog, but I am very much against evil and anything that stands for it. I just happen to think creepy, horned monsters and drooling, bloody demons make good subject matter for art. Satan sucks, and so does his son.

Monster Prints

Limited edition prints by me and my brother Eric. He did the Frankenstein monster, and I did the werewolf.  Only 50 prints made of each one, all hand numbered and signed. 11"x 17".

I paint thee

A couple friend related pieces done recently, the beaver is a watercolor of a picture taken in Kenai, Alaska by friend Ryan. Check out his awesome photography skills here : ryanmarquis.com. And the charcoally drawn doggie is friend Katie's giant pet, Smokey. This is Smokey's second appearance on this blog, I painted him and his brother in dog KJ last year in watercolors. I plan on puttin more up here soon, so be on the lookout, folklores.

Bug Tooth

An upper molar (tooth #3 to be exact) I made at Sundance Dental. The patient requested a purple dragonfly, and that is what I gave her. I hope she liked it. I think Im going to start putting random bugs on all the teeth I make from now on, flies and cockroaches being at the top of the list, of course.

jukik,lll/i/-/

Here's a couple of stop-motions I did last year at at Tempe town lake with the help of my 5 year young one, Donovan (his is the first hand in Octopus and Apple). In the second one, The Feather, you can see people in boats in the background of a few of the shots.
Its titled jukik. lll/i/-/ because Donovan came up and started typing random keys in the title slot.

Marmal

An acrylic painting (somewheres around 9 x 12) I did around last halloween. This creepy orange guy is spending his nights under bridges, doing tricks like "the removable thumb" for no one in particular.

Sculpy frog made and sold last year. He reminds me of Nien Nunb from star wars...you know...

this guy.

Sketchy

So I mailed off my sketchbook for the sketchbook project today. Hope it gets to Brooklyn in one piece, and by that I mean I hope to learn how to speak poltergeist by midnight.

Here's a few more sketches to the tune of Science Project Gone Wrong!!

Reggie and Old Car

Here are two of my latest commission works, the car for my boss (its a xmas present for his father-in-law, who built the car) and the dog for a woman named Judy who bid on and won a certificate for one of my watercolor pet portraits at a silent auction at the youth museum in Mesa earlier this year. All proceeds went to the museum, and it felt good to do that, giving a little back and all, you know, for the kids. Its funny, it was the second miniature schnauzer I've painted on commission this year, the first one was named Archie, and this one was Reggie. like those chaps from Riverdale.The car was a bit of a challenge. I've never painted a realistic car before, not really my style at all. But I was content with what I put on the paper, gave myself a dose of realism, which everyone could use once in awhile.

Roots of the Turnip

This was painted this summer while talking on the phone for most of the night with my old pal Matt P. Its very, very deep. Very.

Pain...take one.

Here's a painting I did for a heavy metal band here in Tempe, but they didnt want it. It wasn't painful enough for them, apparently, or just too cartoony. I dont know, but I like it, and am glad I get to keep it. I dont normally paint in ultra-violence, but when I do its surprisingly very therapeutic, gets some of the angries out.

Seenoevil Hearnoevil @#$%noevil

This is an acrylic painting, my own little inappropriate twist on the "no evil" monkeys. It's somewheres around 4"x 9".

Sketchbook Project

Here are a few of the drawings I've put in my sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project Tour: 2011.
Heres their site:
I thank my sister-in-law Leanna for informing me of such a cool project. I just hope I can finish it by the Jan 15th deadline.Havent run out of ideas yet, so thats good. The theme I picked for my book is "science project gone wrong".

Claymation

Here's a couple of claymation tests I created to refamiliarize myself with the grand art of stop-motion. I plan to make some that are much better soon, but I still like these ones. They hold a certain amount of charm, short and sweet.
