]]> With a busy weekend behind me I was ready to share my latest sketches for the commission concept with the guy that is getting the mini munny. After i sent these on the original sketch was picked for moving forward with the sculpting. Should have Pt. 3 before long. Time to pick out a cool eye for the belly! I’m thinking artificial boar eye.

]]> I just added some mini Lego Zombie canvases to the store page. Each canvas is 4″ x 3″ and is $40 shipped.

I went through and uninstalled my shopping cart and just got it back up and running because it was really dragging. I will be adding the rest of the missing items that I have for sale over the next few days.

]]> Last week I was asked if I do commissions, and I thought that I really don’t promote how much I enjoy doing pieces specifically for someone. So I am going to do a series of posts (with the permission of the guy buying the piece) going through the process of buying a commission from me.

This is how I responded to his inquiry
“Thanks, I’m glad you like my work. I’m always up for taking on customs for folks. What platform toy would you want me to work with and which pieces of mine are you more fond of?

From here I usually try and get a better idea of what you like in customs (subject matter, colors, things like that). Then we agree on a price, I do up some sketches and send them your way. Then once you are happy with that I dive in.”

I found out that he really dug my Teddy Troop and likes elements of masks and the moon. Below is my first sketch.
Concept Sketch for Commission

Usually I check and see if there is a specific deadline that it needs to be done by. Between work, shows that I have going on and other projects, I want to ensure that I will be able to get things done in the timeframe they are looking for. I am going to do a few more sketches and see where it takes us.

Stay tuned for the next installment of Commission Process

]]> I wanted to make some small canvases that would be affordable pieces for the upcoming Art-B-Que festival in Avondale (just outside of Atlanta). I decided to do a series of Lego Zombie pieces. Each one is 4″ x 3″. These will go on sale at 10am at the festival on June 13th. If you’re in the area it should not be missed. You can now buy them here.

]]> I’ve started a small series of little Lego Zombie canvases (4″ x 3″). I wanted to have some pieces that were really affordable at the Art-B-Que festival coming up and thought it would be a good way to get some of my art into more homes. This is just the very beginning of these pieces. Hopefully I’ll make a lot of progress tonight after work. Stay tuned for updated pics in the next few days.

]]> I finished up “Under the Shroud of Darkness” last night for the upcoming Into the Darkness Show at 1:am San Francisco and took a couple of pictures before work today. I wish my buddy Drew could have shot it with his nice SLR camera but he’s over in Italay celebrating his honeymoon. So hopefully you’ll get the overall mood of the canvas.

If you’re in San Francisco be sure to check this out June 5th at the opening. I’ve booked a ticket there and would love to chat some people up.Under the Shroud of Darkness Detail from Detail from
