new splinterface painting

Hi. This is a splinterface caricature painting i made as a commission. It's a crazy boy named Valin. The violet eyes in the pic and the painting are intentional, a kind of devilish eyes and smile look.


Lots of original art is available in my Etsy store. My Etsy store can be found here:

2 new splinterface paintings

Hi. Here are two new splinterface paintings. The top one I call Blonde Bandit. I like how the mask turned out. The second one I call Beatdown Bobby. He's taken a pretty good beating but he's still smiling. Maybe the other guy looks worse than him. He reminds me of the guys in Fight Club. These two faces were originally stacked parts of a double face but I didn't like it much. So I cut them apart and repainted them. I like them a lot better now.

Christmas Presents


Hi. Here are two Christmas presents I made for my mom and brother. This first one was for my brother. It's called a jig doll or limberjack. It's a dancing folk art type doll. You stick a dowel rod in his back and sit him on a long board and make him dance. I think they started in Ireland and they dance an Irish Jig so they're called jig dolls there. They're also called limberjacks. You can see them in action on YouTube if you search jigdoll or limberjack. My brother bought the blank doll and I painted it.

Here's a link showing one dancing:

This painting below was for my mom. It's her dog, Tiny, wearing an Ohio State Buckeyes sweater. I included a couple pics of Tiny to show her tongue. Her tongue hangs out constantly and is that long.
