Sally – Nightmare Before Christmas

this one was a commissioned piece, and I think it came out rather well! the recipient was thrilled, which is the best outcome possible!

not sure why I felt the need to put a Moe’s Bagel sticker near the painting for the finished product photo, but there it is. they make killer bagels and are a must-eat stop if you find yourself in Boulder, CO

A Horse is a Horse

painted this guy (or gal, I’m not picky) for my aunt and uncle who own a horse farm! this was my first foray into working with rounded canvases…such fun! I have ideas for some other work on round ones now!

this painting gave me anxiety because it went on a merry looped tour of their state because I addressed it incorrectly…hooboy.

Venom – Christmas Gift

painted this dude for my buddy Donda, who’s gone quite deep into the Venom-verse and Fandom – his eyes glow in the dark, but I wasn’t able to get a good picture of that. Also, it’s ok…you can be jealous of my totally adult Star Wars bedsheets.

Baby Bates – woodburning gift

this was a gift for my (then unborn) little cousin! her parents are both Navy, so the symbols and colors I chose for this wood burning reflect that!

Roar Omega Roar Part 2

I wanted a ROR jacket – and since there’s nothing official from the Monsters INC universe in my size, I had to improvise

 

Funky Little Number

had the privilege of seeing Here Come The Mummies for the second time a few months ago, and felt the need to jazz up the ol’ vest with a new addition…this one says FUNKY IN THE WEST in reference to their song Fenk Shui and the line “Funky to the East, Funky to the West”

Here Come the Mummies – part the second

this is HCTM’s “Hungry Anubis” hand signal for good luck – I added colors myself (original image is just black and white) and had previously tea and coffee dyed a bunch of canvas to look old and worn just to have on hand

Here Come the Mummies – part the first

recently, I’ve started to like this amazing band more and more – finally got to see them in concert and experience their antics…anywho, these were images on tee-shirts they had run out of my size in, so I turned them into patches (for personal use only, no profit being made from the things that are not mine)
