Starter Art

Bear and Bird is having another show right now for new art collectors.  If you are in the mood to start up a little art collection here's a link to their shop and here's a link to their flickr stream from the show.  Sorry about the delayed post.

Lord Bill of the Banyan

3" x 5"

Ink and Watercolor

There's a long story behind Lord Bill of the Banyan, his left-handed guitar and the letter he is sending, but that's for another time.  Maybe.  Enjoy!

My Neighbor Totoro!

I finally got a chance to show my kiddos Totoro last weekend. Let's just say Totoro has now taken over our house. These are some of the Valentine's cards I made for them.

The cards are really tiny, about 1.5" by 2", perfect for hiding.

Statler & Waldorf

Here's a little watercolor I did for a friend:


Sorry about the lack of updates. Hopefully there will be more coming soon.

The King of Peanut Butter

Here is my piece for the upcoming "WHAT IF..." exhibit at Gallery Nucleus:

The King of Peanut Butter

Ink & Watercolor
3" x 5"

What if Peanut Butter needed a king? What if this little guy answered the call? But what if he got lost along the way? Just a few questions that led to this piece.

Hope to see you at the opening! Gonna be lots of cool people and artwork along with an awesome Muppet exhibit opening downstairs on the same night! You can click here for their website and more info.

New Bear and Bird Website!

A little while back Amanda from the Bear and Bird gallery asked if I would like to do some artwork for their new website. They have such a cool gallery and I have had so much fun doing artwork for them that there was no way I could say no!

(I tried to pay respect to some of the other really cool artwork people have done for the gallery in those little picture frames.)

Amanda only wanted a piece or two and she was totally cool with whatever ideas I came up with. I guess I went a little crazy.




My goal was to show the characters in fun situations and establish their friendship but still leave them open for other people to explore too. I guess it would be like giving little snapshots of their lives but still leaving the viewer wanting to see more.

It got to a point were I couldn't decide which ones to finish in color so I sent Amanda all of the roughs and let her pick her top four.





I also did a black and white stamp for them and before I sent all of the originals out I threw a little watercolor on it.



I had so much fun with this! I'm glad there were deadlines because I could have just kept going. So check out their new website when you get a chance!

Now I guess I should start working on my own banner...
