With the Holidays over and the start of the new year I am excited to keep working on current projects and challenge myself with new projects. I'm also hoping that art sales will pick up soon. I feel hopeful since one of my pin up pop art paintings sold last night. I did end up picking up all of my owls from the gallery. None of them sold unfortunately. I started on a couple of new paintings and started making some jackalope pendant necklaces. Here are some photos.

I just started this one yesterday. I am almost finished with it.

This one I finished last week.

And here are some photos of the jackalope pendant necklaces.

Until next time...

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and spent the day with family, friends, or a special someone. Val's family had an early Christmas and invited me to spend it with her family. It was lovely. Christmas day, I conned Val into helping me paint my house. Hah! Thanks Val! I've been working on Mobiles recently. I finished 3. One was for my Pops' grandson, Avery, the other one will go online for sale, and the other one was a Hoodoo Voodoo Dream Catcher I made for Val for Christmas. Here are some photos...

                                         Mobile for Avery. Paper Sail Boats and Clouds.

Shabby Chic Mobile. Paper Sail Boats, Silk Flowers, and White Birds. (This one will go online for sale)

Hoodoo Voodoo Dream Catcher Mobile for Val. Feathers, Alligator Teeth, Beads, Felt Heart, Chicken foot made from Sclupey.

Have a Happy New Year everyone! Looking forward to it and some new projects coming up.

Until next time...

Yours,

Been working on some new items. Here are the beginnings of a Shabby Chic Baby Mobile.  I just started this the day before yesterday. It just needs to have all the components attached. Also, my Pops has commissioned me to make a little baby boy mobile for his grandson Avery. I'll post progress pictures when I get started on it. Here are a few of the one I have been working on.

Big dove. Made from lace from an old dress.

Small dove. Made from the same material.

Silk flower made by Valeri Kimbro. I'm attaching about 3 of these to the mobile.

White washed tree branches to suspend the objects from.

Sail boat. Made from a cereal box, lace, buttons, and a paper and lace sail.

Sail boat 2.

Sail boat 3.

Pops also commissioned me to make a small bouquet of paper flowers for his Mom's neighbor.

Until next time...

It's been awhile since I lasted posted. I keep saying I'm going to be more consistent, but I never am. Since my last blog post I've been to Philadelphia and back. It was nice to be out of Colorado a bit and meet some new people and see new places. Right when I got back it was time to work again! I had to quickly finish 2 more large owls for an upcoming art gallery showing and the opening was this past Friday the 7th. There were a ton of other amazing artists showing their work as well. So many people showed up. It was wonderful. Also, my friend Val has been cracking the whip and forced me to finish 3 paintings this past weekend. I just wanted to nap....hah! It feels good to get some things accomplished. Here are some photos.

The Pirate Owl and the Mayor Owl were part of the show.

The Aviator Owl, Gothic Owl, and Hobo Owl were part of the show too.

These were the series of paintings I was working on this past weekend. Pop art Pinup. Just need to finish one more and then onto the next project.

Thank you to everyone who showed up to the opening! If anyone missed it you can still catch it the 14th, 21st, and 28th of this month at the Modbo/S.P.Q.R.

The opening at Safron went well, it seems I haven't really posted a whole lot since I mentioned it. Valeri killed it and sold quite a few pieces! I am messing around with some new ideas and new mediums of art. Here are a few pictures.

Little mice! Their arms and legs are bendable. I am in the process of making a short little animated film with them :)

I'm in the process of finishing these and then turning them into limited addition prints. 

The last blog post I did showed the beginnings of this painting but I got mad at it, threw it outside, splashed water on it, scratched out the eyes, and then I liked it again. This is going to be part of a series I am working on as well. More details to come...

Until next time...

Since I posted last...I royally fucked up the painting of my friend I was working on. I'm working on salvaging it. Here is what it looked like before I decided to ruin it...

Good news though....I sold my first painting! This one is going to it's new home later today.

Along with it being the first painting I've sold, it's also the first painting I've finished in about 6 years. It is 2 feet by 4 feet.

Working on  another painting at the moment. Still trying to figure out my style...

Until next time...

Haven't updated in a week or so because I have been busy and things are just going to get busier! The pirate owl is finished and his name is Jacopo :) Thanks Mike Sakas! One of my lil nugget owls will be residing in Bangkok soon! 

Jacopo is already at the store, Safron in Manitou Springs if anyone wants to go and visit him. He is being sold for $250.00. If you buy one from me directly they are $150. I am happy they are being displayed in such a lovely store.

Also, I , along with the talented Valeri Kimbro, will be Safron's featured artists next month. They will be having their Friday art walk on October the 19th. I will have about 10 owls displayed there.

Here are couple of photos of the owl I am currently working on:

I'll post some photos of the Aviator Owl I'm working on as well soon.

Until next time...
