Bottle Cap Monster NECKLACES!

I finally managed to find a few spare hours last night to sit down and paint again! Man, I hate it when I go so long without doing artwork, it's almost like a vitamin deficiency or something, I can feel it gnawing on me inside when I am not doing enough creative work!

In an attempt to make my crazy little Bottle Cap Monsters a bit more practical, I decided to try creating a Bottle Cap Monster Necklace. This is the premier BCM necklace, with good old Jack Skellington- this one was by request for my good friend Travis Jones. Travis is a serious collector of Nightmare Before Christmas stuff, and he has been subltly hinting for a long time that he wanted a Jack Skellington BCM, so at long last I sat down and created one for him.

Painting Jack was actually tougher than I anticipated- he looks deceptively simple to paint, but there is a lot of stuff going on that makes it hard to make him look right. It was a fun challenge, and I enjoyed the process. More of these to come soon!

Glow of the Laboratory

Been a crazy couple of past weeks for me. Took a break from painting after Monsterpalooza, but that could only last so long- so I decided to crank out a larger scale acrylic painting, and this was the result. Painted on masonite board. I have a feeling there will be lots more to come soon. I am also getting started on a larger airbrush illo of Creature from the Black Lagoon. Man, Universal monsters are too much fun to paint!

Oh, by the way- this painting is for sale if anyone is interested. Contact me and I will let you know the price and paypal info.

Monsterpaooza... The show is over!

I had such a great time at Monsterpalooza! Met tons of great people, and had a blast getting to know them all. This is me with Frank, who bought my painting of...well- Frank! Thanks Frank, I hope Frankenstein is looking good on the wall of your home!

Bub Zombie from Day of the Dead -BCM

I was a senior in high school when Day of the Dead hit movie theaters, so I had to convince my uncle to take me to see this. Definitely one of the best movie experiences I ever had while growing up! To pay homage to those awesome Romero zombie films, here is Bub from Day of the Dead.

General Ursus - BCM

Planet of the Apes was always one of my favorite movies, so I had to pay tribute to that series with one of my Bottle Cap Monsters. So here is General Ursus from Beneath the Planet of the Apes.
This one will be available for purchase at my table at Monsterpalooza in Burbank, CA on May 29th.
