Well she doesn’t feel totally finished yet. I want to do some detailing on the face for sure. And I go back and forth on whether I like how simple the bottom half is. But it was a nice diversion delving into this piece for several hours after spending what seems like the last few…

Finally finished the last of the 5in honey set. Just some touch up work and it will join me at Designer Con this November.

Clearing my head and trying to make sense of everything from the past few weeks on this canvas. I’ve been bogged down trying to finish customs. And I needed this moment to just paint.

We made this 6 inch ceramic beauty to help with the medical bills at Carolina Boxer Rescue. If you’ve been following me for any length of time now, you know I rarely do the more natural colors. I wanted to make this extra special. CBR is running all the details of the fundraiser so I…

Our next fundraiser will be supporting the Team Leo Animal Rescue (or @Leopuppymillsurvivor as they are known on social media. Give em a follow). They only take in senior and wheelchair bound dogs. Initially, we promised these figures to Charlies Foundation and R&R Boxer Rescue. But both rescues requested we help Team Leo first (even…

One down and only eight more to paint…. This last edition of Frog Princes complete with “love cages” is underway. I’m retiring the figure after this. Most likely, this set of nine will come with me to Designer Con in November. Any that don’t find a home will go immediately into the shop.

After an exciting evening last night, where a tree fell on my house (no one was hurt thankfully), and I stayed up late while workers with chain saws took care of things….I finally got things semi non chaotic enough to finish one of nine Honey Pitties. Each one has different flower eyes and is hand…

If you recall, I painted my first Banana Man last year just before Designer Con. After deciding to pass on a booth because of covid last year, I put the rest of the 8 figure edition aside to paint later. Well, I’m finally back at it. Here is the second Banana Man. I just love…
