The Gummi Bear Dragons. Edition of 3. Surprise drop in the shop today. People ask all the time how I come up with my different dragons. And most of the time it’s honestly just by accident or because I’m putting off doing actual commissions work. This was definitely the latter. I should have been plugging…

So in 2020 I offered up custom valentines day cards for order, and boy, that escalated quickly! They sold out in a couple days and I was up to my eyeballs in tiny watercolor paintings on heart shaped cardstock. And this was in the middle of having the Intern not sleeping through the night. So…

The Love Pitties will end up being an edition of 4 uniquely painted customized Danger Dogs (Tenacious Toys). Each a variant marbled paint swirl, iridescent heart eyes with rhinestone collars and glass heart. They will be in the Etsy shop January 15th at 8am PST. Which is the same day we open up the custom…

I came across this piece a week ago. It debuted at my very first Five Points show in 2017. I had already packed up my inventory for the show with a couple days to spare. Rather than sit around and be nervous, I got to work on what would eventually become ‘Honey’. Finishing the day…

A break in the weather yesterday along with an opportunity for a babysitter allowed me to get going on a few more Love Pitties for the end of this month. First round of paint swirls have been applied. And these guys are getting there rhinestone collars and heart eyes/nose detailing finished up today. Still not…

And they come in…

Getting a few Love Pitties ready to come out later this month in anticipation of Valentine’s day. Not sure how many but each will be uniquely painted with a red heart and come in custom packaging.

As soon as I saw this photo from a client of her recently passed boxer dog, I knew immediately what I wanted to do to memorialize him… The warmth of that photo…the love that just radiates….could only be captured in a matchbook painting. Took me two whole days to complete. And credit to artist Michael…

Ok, so with 2021 I am going to try and post upcoming news monthly so people know what to expect. Especially in terms of our boxer fundraising stuff. So here we go with January… Custom 5×7 watercolor commissions have opened starting now till January 4th or until the spots have all filled, with options of…

Finished up this 10×10 canvas. If you read my previous post, this is the canvas I used to fling paint at “Dripping Jacks”. I used some vitrail for the black looping. Dry brush for added color and then scraped with a palette knife to give it a weathered/beaten look. The final touch was some gold…

This painting took so many twists and turns in the course of maybe two hours… A couple nights ago I had this idea of something new to try painting wise. I was tired of the rainbow drip fluid painting I’ve been doing for some time now, though mostly in 3d form. So when I had…

Our last post of 2020 is simply Thank You. I appreciate each and every one of you that have been a part of our journey. The first year we started combining art with boxer rescue was 2014. And we help raised $1580 total that year. I remember thinking, “that’s great! I want to beat that…
