30 in Thirty Full Color Book Available!!

NOW FOR SALE!!!

Support independent publishing: buy this book on Lulu.

My latest full color art book. This one is a collection of 30 paintings that I did in 30 days as a challenge for the Blank Space Gallery here in Seattle. The 30+ paintings and illustrations of monsters and other creatures here in this book are full sized reproductions of the original paintings. The book itself is full color, 70 pages perfect bound, and measures 8.5" x 11".

Ever since the completion of the paintings I wanted to make a catalogue of the whole set of paintings. All based of off creatures that I created originally for my daily comic (Lair of the Psychic Creature) I planned all thirty paintings to be seen together. And... since half of the original paintings have been sold, they'll NEVER be seen together EVER AGAIN! So catch them while you can here in this paperback collection.

I would like to think these colorful acrylic paintings should entertain anyone with a childlike appreciation of creatures and monsters as well as children.

Two New Paintings!!

So I came up with a couple of new paintings over the last few months for some friends of mine. The first one was requested by Elizabeth. She was a huge supporter and fan of the 30/30 paintings I did for the December show. So having owned one of those she wanted another based off of the comic with the Tickle Squid.

This other one was requested by a very enthusiastic fan of mine Amanda. She was moving into a new place and wanted some of my art for her walls. She's a very intense girl and I couldn't refuse. So I came up with this piece. The board that it was painted on had the background pattern already painted on it by my good friend Jilf. He donated a lot of supplies and extra materials when he left Seattle for Minnesota. So I told him I put all of it to good use.

30 paintings in 30 days

So I've consolidated all the paintings that I've done for the Forgotten Works Challenge into this one blog entry. All the titles of the pieces lead to the comic that each one is based off of from the Lair of the Psychic Creature.

I turned in my painting yesterday on time and that means that I'll be in the grand big show in December. It opens on th 6th and runs for that month. There's a preview show opening this Thursday the 1st of November. That show will basically give people an idea of what each contributing artist does outside the Challenge and/or give a preview of what's in store for viewers in December.

There's a catch to the show in December. It's totally for the folks who crave instant gratification. If you see the show, like something, have the money ($40 no more, no less), you get to take it home with you right then and there. So the show will change throughout the month. However this means that if you want to see the whole show... you need to go to the opening. And if you like any of the pieces, you can't hesitate!!! You have to buy it, because it might not be there when you turn your back.

Don't get too worried though, because I have plans to create a catalogue of the pieces via Lulu.com. I'm hoping to have it layed out and ready for the opening. This will have nothing to do with the hosts of the show and will only be available through me.

On with the art!!
