A blog featuring the artwork of ACP, shop updates and the behind the scenes antics of Management and the Intern!

Late night in the studio putting together future Dragon sets when all of a sudden this happens…. And I love it lol I tell ya, it reminds me of Timothy Olyphant in the movie Girl Next Door. When he comes up with a film idea and says, “How do I get these ideas? It’s like…

I got a few blank Rotty Rigos from Ghostfox Toys a while back and finally finished them today. They are in the shop. Only three I’ll ever do. I’m moving away from customizing other people’s designs and focusing on my original work.

I keep saying this but now it’s definitely true. Retiring from Dragons for a bit. I have a couple custom orders. And I plan to do some sets for Designer Con hopefully in November. But otherwise it’s time to take a break and focus on other projects.

I can’t tell you how great a morning it has been. Last night I had the most brilliant idea just strike me for an upcoming wild west piece I’m planning for Designer Con, to go along with my wooden Saloon Girl series. So I began the day piecing things together and creating this character I…

Finished up this blingy version of Daphne & Hootie and added it to the shop.

“Layers In the Dust” 10×10 This is my submission for a group show here locally. I finished it right at the deadline after having started the whole thing several weeks ago. I tried something very different on this particular piece. It’s four layers of different acrylic paintings. Each done in a fluid style and left…

These are the very last three of the SpongeBob SquarePants Patrick figures I’ll be painting up. They are in the shop now and do come with their original packaging.

These guys are in the shop now! Edition of 4.

I got a bunch of messages after posting our first Rainbow Patrick custom painted figure. I have three more I’m starting to paint this weekend. I plan to finish them all to release at the same time. If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram you’ll have plenty of notice before they enter the shop.
