Wedding party gifts

It has been 3 years now since I got married and I am finally getting wedding party gifts done. I decided to do paintings for everyone in our wedding party. I'm roughly at halfway done with them. Here are some recent ones I just finished. All are acrylic on "newvas", 11x14 inches.

This one was done for Clayton who was my last minute groomsman. A valuable lesson was learned by this and I am glad he was able to hop into this role. and he got a free painting out of it....3 years later.

This painting was done for our maid of honor, Kristina. She is a very talented actress, dancer, etc. She also loves polka-dots.

This was done for one of our bridesmaids, Fallon. She likes turtles and the color purple....obviously.

This was done for Kacie, another bridesmaid. She LOVES the Nightmare Before Christmas. I don't usually do other people's work, but I figured I would do this with a bit of my style to it. I have it officially stating on the back that these characters were redone by me, so please don't sue me (I'm broke anyway).

A blast from my High School past for my best man, Gavin. A character I use to do as a goof. His name is I.M. Blank and is still a huge favorite of Gavin's. Some of the newvas even contains an article related to his profession (totally subconscious accident).

Now I have a few more to get going on. A couple I have no idea what I am doing yet. Hoping these are done before my 4th wedding anniversary.

REJECTED! REGROUP!

So, neither one of my proposals for the Art In Public Places were chosen for the Shock Art project! the word "Shock" is a little too fitting, but it works since I am shocked that the tiki one didn't get chosen, at least. Shocked to what I witnessed how voting was handled, or mishandled. Shocked to see my votes lessened after peeking through the slot of one of my proposals 2 days back to back (and votes sticking out of others that weren't before). Then again, I am not shocked (don't try to figure it out, you'll strain your brain cells). It is a very typical outcome. Plus side of this.....one is that a box I voted for WAS picked. Another is that I will be taking these rejected boxes and making them into some paintings. I will be looking into getting an etsy account and a pay pal account and go from there, as well as beef up my portfolio and see if I can get my stuff displayed at some coffee shops and such.


I guess my stuff just wasn't good enough to beat a unmixed rubix cube. But, hey, why don't I let you all be the judge. Here are my proposals (coming to a "newvas" near you....if you happen to see them in person at a coffee shop, or someone's house).

There you have it, what was once 2 possible spruce ups for electrical boxes, now rejected proposals. Please let mw know what you think of these. I tried to think of something that would make me want to park my car and take a picture of it cause it is so interesting. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

Wall murals anyone

So, I am a bit behind on pimping out myself to do wall murals. I have only did one in my time (a little over a year ago for my daughter). I ended up doing it in a very short amount of time and refrain from criticizing it personally cause I promised my Mom I wouldn't. My daughter still loves it and I am looking to add a few more things upon her request.






This mural was inspired by some purple and pink dot wall decals we got for my daughter's room.

Some space was left here and there for future add ons.

The mural was done in a time frame of 72 hours

Better look at the center dot. I am looking to add another animal on the right...maybe

What was possibly going to be the most painful and unliked part of the mural turned out to be one of my favorites. Could not deny my little princess a castle!

I am all for doing a mural for anyone at a fair price. Just contact me, or if you know of anyone looking for someone to do a mural, let me know.
