Joey the Bird, In Progress

…is having that “I’m Big Bird” feeling. Maybe he should try using Zest.

Ruby the bird

… loves almonds and long walks on the beach.

She’s pretty much done (and I even signed it). But I’m sure I’ll do a little bit more before the sale… I’m just like that.

I’m thinking that I’m going to price this one at least $60 (since I spent about 5-6 hours on it) but maybe $80 (if i can manage to find a nice and cheap frame, perhaps). The only reason I don’t want to charge more is because it’s on some of that canvas board crap… I’ve had it laying around for several years (because I hate it and feel like you can’t achieve anything with quality on it), probably with two different paintings on it before this one. It’s kind of warped, and that’s why I think it needs a frame. I have a few, but I’d like to be able to find two of the same frame for both birds (in case I can sell ‘em both at once).

What do you guys think?

He’s been prepped, and now I have to figure out what color to paint him.
Oh, and that’s his lady friend. She’s going to be featured in the next painting.

Business Card

This is the design for my new business cards/stickers.
What do you think?
Constructive criticism is welcome.

New Painting

Jay/Afro Bob is complete

He’s finally done!

Painted Pendants

Getting Published

I suppose that “published” is more appropriate. I did an illustration for my Mom’s work. They’re opening an new asthma care center, and, as far as I can tell, this will appear in an awareness brochure.

Robot pendants

Last night I started making these robot necklaces in hopes of having SOMETHING to sell for June or July or whenever. It took me a few hours to make both of these. Next they will receive some paint and then a sealer. Whatcha think?

Additionally, I’m trying to talk myself into buying this camera.

Red doll

My most recent photo manipulation. It turned out okay. I think it still needs a little tweaking. I like how the lips turned out. I had to completely redraw those.

Tonight I will try too take some more current pictures of Jay for your viewing pleasure
