New Card Design for Bottle Cap Monsters

Trying out a new format for my Bottle Cap Monsters. This one was designed for the Dark Night of the Scarecrow Bottle Cap Monster I recently painted. The Bottle Cap will be glued on the top of the coffin area, and I will sign the bottom.

Dark Night of the Scarecrow BCM #2

Just finished painting this one. Going to try a new format with this one, instead of gluing the cap to the standard cardboard coffin, I will be designing a 4x6 background to glue it on. I think it will make the Bottle Cap Monsters a little more practical, and at least easier to frame and hang on a wall. This one was a commissioned piece, and it sounds like it will be used as birthday present. I always try to make every bottle cap a little bit different, even if I have painted the same character before, so I moved the focus a little closer to Bubba's face this time. I am very happy with the way this one turned out, and looking forward to seeing it on the 4x6 photo once I get it finished.

Return to the Crypt of Bottle Cap Monsters!

I have been painting a few more Bottle Cap Monsters recently- Here are Deadpool, Jack Skellington as Sandy Claws, and The Shock Monster. All of these are spoken for. These are all hand painted with acrylic paint inside a bottle cap. You can see a step-by-step tutorial on how to paint these at my new website TOON ACADEMY. Visit http://www.toonacademy.com

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!

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.

Metaluna Mutant - BCM

From the sci-fi legend that is "This Island Earth" it's the Metaluna Mutant! This guy has always been one of my favorite monsters, gotta love those nasty veins and that giant brain for a head. Great stuff!!

KING KONG - BCM

From the 1933 classic film, it's none other than the mighty KING KONG. The original 1933 version is still my favorite by far. Kong is one mean monster, I love the scene when he crushes a person and grinds them into the dirt like he is putting out a cigarette. Classic stuff that! This, along with many other bottle cap monsters will be available for sale at my table at Monsterpalooza in Burbank, CA starting May 29th! Hope to see you there!!
