Daniel Deathroll


 Meet Daniel Deathroll!  Daniel is my third of three 3D monocle men made for my show at Blend Bar, and my personal favorite.  I love everything about this piece, especially his name (made up by the brilliant love of my life who had endless good names/titles for me to steal).  What makes Daniel especially special is his teeth.  They are real alligator teeth, which were not the easiest to paint around.  I'm so happy with the colors on this guy and just adore the frame.  Hate to sound full of myself haha but he is just one of my top personal favorites at the moment.  I was both happy and sad to see him sell on the opening night!

Patrick Pinkpants


Meet Patrick Pinkpants!  Patrick is my second of three monocle men for my show at Blend Bar.  Originally planned to be a head shot only, but i loved the idea of that tiny little body and thin dinky legs poking out the bottom.  I love the colors on this guy and the frame just completed him.

Bobby Bamboobelly



Meet Bobby Bamboobelly!  Bobby is one of three new 3D portraits of handsome young men made for my show at Blend Bar.  I love the idea of doing head shots of some Kritters with silly little faces, made officially fancy by adding some monocles.  Bobby is slightly based off one of my favorite Kritter paintings, Sugartooth from 2010.  I was given this frame by my sister, which looks so much like bamboo that naturally i had to paint a panda to put in it. It's a shiny(ish) silver frame so i made all of Bobby's accessories silver: his bowtie, monocle, and chain.  Had a blast sculpting and painting that dumb derpy face and was excited to find he sold after the opening at Blend.

BAC Girls


One of my newest series!  Blend Bar & Bistro in Hamilton, NJ invited me to display my art for 2 months in their awesome space.  I started this series specifically for the occasion and just loved painting them.  Had fun with the ideas and look forward to creating new BAC girls to continue the series.  They will be on display until June 28th in the bar, hopefully with some new ones before my time's up.  The middle wine girl "Victoria Vineyard" is already sold, but the two other lovely ladies are still up for sale. 

The opening party at Blend was April 30, and tons of family and friends came out to support despite the monsoon (not exaggerating!) outside.  Literally puddles/lakes up to your ankles outside!  I'm so touched by all those who came by (and those who wanted to but couldn't).  You all mean the world to me and i can't express how grateful i am to be surrounded by so many supportive people in my life :)  There will be a closing party on June 28th, hope to see you there!
