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

I’ve hit a kind of ‘painters block’ of late with my muse. But I’ve had some release this week that I will credit with prepping for the birth of my son. The nursery theme is going to be Calvin and Hobbes. The plan initially was paint all the walls in murals. Build in a tree…

I have to make room for baby boy arriving in April. So I’m discounting art like crazy 🙂 All available paintings and art toys are anywhere from 35-75% off. The shop won’t reflect the discounts. And some stuff hasn’t made it in there yet. So if you see something here in the for sale gallery…

Can’t seem to relax at all today. Busted out this little 8×8 canvas this morning titled “Filled With Sadness” . The black will tighten up quite a bit as it dries in the California sunshine. Management is supervising Sunday style… Gave me some time to finish up a mini wood panel painting of a boxer…

I had decided a few days ago since all my custom orders were complete and everything for Christmas had been shipped that I would finally sit back and relax. I think I officially relaxed for a total of 24 hours before feeling the need the paint again. Oddly enough, the only time the baby inside…

Last shop update for 2018… “Newsted” the rainbow chameleon “When She is Fulfilled” 12×16 “Cocky Heartbreak” 10×20 Free shipping in the U.S. It’s been a helluva week and I’m calling 2018 done artistically. See you in the new year with plenty of color to come.

Added the last round of hand painted colorful abstract geode pendants for the year in the shop now! Each is $45 with free domestic shipping. And comes in a gift box.

People have been asking me for years if I would paint ornaments for the holidays. And finally, I got some time to work on a few. Twelve individual ornaments went up in the shop this morning. A couple are still available. But I also put up a custom option for people who want to order…

Dcon 2018 is officially over! And my booth partner Mr. Mars Studios and I killed it! We were both slightly intimidated walking into the new Anaheim venue, which was absolutely enormous compared to the old venue in Pasadena. With the help of a great display and just a whole ton of color, we were able…

Finished and headed to the shop this week, along with several other paintings and designer toys.

Decided pretty late in the game to build a display specifically for my fire breathing dragons. Because I apparently like creating more work for myself when I’m battling the tail end of morning sickness… I got a few wooden castles. And after much deliberation on color choice, decided on a Castle Grayskull green look. Not…

Customized a Wandering Misfits Ink Slinger by Brandt Peters. I’ve always wanted to work on this platform being a huge fan of Brandt and Kathie. But I wanted to really do it up right. Very happy with how this Honey Slinger came out. He will make the trip to Designer Con booth 843.

Just finishing up the last few pieces for Designer Con, Anaheim this week. Including a couple wood, resin and mixed media Monochrome Jokers. Stop by booth 843. Only two available.
