Boston Terrier Two

i'm home and i'm $350 less poor! vegas is sweet. now back to painting which is more financially risky than gambling.



i usually paint whole objects but i like how just showing his face makes this painting look bold.

Idea Drill and Vegas!

i'm leaving until friday to visit las vegas. woo! maybe i'll come back with more money to blow on free paintings. probably less. so wish me luck and i'll start painting again when i get back.



this is going to hang in an office in the research arm of an oil producer. he wanted something that was a play on people, drilling and thinking. i should have painted him a solar panel.

Fatbot

his primary function is being fat but he can also sweat and complain. he used to have a "do something" mode but it broke when his chassis expanded.

Rat Nerd

the guy that wanted this told me he's writing a comic strip about a smart but shy rat. sounded like a nerd to me.

Puppet

the requester said to do a marionette or puppet. i chose to make him a jester. i like his outfit. i'd wear it if i could find it somewhere. and in my size. it would go well with mismatched shoes.

Cowboy

yeeeee hawww! why he's listening to a black flag record, i don't know. why he has a big old mustache, because he's rootin tootin. though i can't tell if he's at a hootinany, hoedown. maybe its a thanksgiving shindig.

Elephant

my one friend thinks that if a word ends with the same letter(s) with which the word following it begins, the two words should become one word. the example she always uses is "the elephant" should be "thelephant".

darn it. i just forgot to post again. and i'm sure i've severely disappointed my mom cause i ruined her morning routine of reading my blog at work. sorry mom. but the next day you get double the fun!



i've done four electric guitars but this is my first acoustic.



the requester wanted a psychedelic background.

Oak Tree

i like the word oak. it seems more and more odd the longer you look at it.

3rd Elephant

i'm usually a fan of pink elephants but this guy looks good in blue.

Robocow in Space

a guy liked my robot painting and my planet painting and my cow painting. a perfect formula. now he likes his one painting thats three times as good. art and math combine to put a robot cow on saturn!

Second Zombie

i was surprised when i got my first zombie request but here's another one. i think i've had some before too that were also on a list of suggested subjects but i ended up choosing to do something different. i guess zombies are more popular that i thought. people like paintings that want to eat your brain.

Stars

usually i have one or two characters or objects in my paintings. usually.

Duck Number Four

quack quack quack quack

Blue Pup

the request was for a blue dog. i think i subconsciously made it kind of look like blue from blue's clues.

Bunny

i like this guy on blue. he looks like he's a little skittish. bunnies tend to be that way. i would be too if i constantly had to worry about being eaten.

Radiohead

speaking of ripping of my ideas (in the previous post), radiohead is now giving away their music and you can donate whatever amount of money you want to them. crap. just let it be known that i did it first!

Africa and Asia

i'm not lazy or busy right now. just forgetful.



this guy said a bonsai tree in a planter would look awesome in my style. i agree. he also said that it might be cool to rip off my idea and start giving away his drawings and collages. I DISAGREE.



a guy went to rwanda with his girlfriend so this painting will remind them of the trip i guess. i feel like i'm going to paint everything in the world with this project. now i've got all of this continent covered.

Superman

please no one sue me. though i don't know if i should worry cause i'm not making any money off of this FREE painting. i guess i could be sued for defamation of made up character because i turned superman into some namby pamby art. how cool would it be to go to court and see superman there? he'd probably look pretty ridiculous wearing primary colored spandex in a courtroom surrounded by people in suits.

7th Turtle

the 7th turtle i've painted. i kind of got a little attached to him for some reason. i was doing some final touch-ups before i put him in the envelope and i almost didn't want to mail him away. almost.

Scooter

i've heard that people in red cars are more likely to get pulled over. i wonder if thats the same for scooters.

Saber Toothed Tiger

an adorable violent scene. saber toothed tigers are sweet. if i was i tiger, i'd get dental work to give me giant fangs and then tell everyone i was the last saber tooth left.

Volvo

this is the 300th painting i've posted!!!

Pug

the slight tilt of his head is actually a part of the request. i thought that was so cute. my dog does this too when i talk to him. i heard it's an instinct that helps them hear better by directing their ears more towards the sound.

Pop Art Science

this is a caffeine molecule. nerd requests are sweet!

Lovebird

this guy is a fisher's lovebird. i have to show the picture that was sent to me with the request cause its so darn cool. this is actually a picture of the requesters pet, not some stock photo.
