HOLD YOUR OWN

Painted with spray paint and acrylics this latest piece "Hold Your Own" features another of those drippy no faced characters getting to grips with some style.. 

It's important to have your own, and once you've got it you should probably hold on to it before it gets taken by someone else..

Measuring 50 x 19 cm on a chunky 3cm deep stretched canvas..Finished with a coat of clear lacquer, this signed original is now up for grabs in the store.. If you'd like to own this piece or see some other original stuff that's currently available, click this link thingy HERE!! 

THE PROLIFIC ..

Another amount of hours spent making wet colored stuff dry resulted in another painting being completed in the middle of the night...The Prolific....This 16x20 inch piece was painted onto a reclaimed wooden board with spray paint and acrylics..A signed original that's currently up for grabs from my store HERE ..

THE THIRD VERSION.. NEW RESIN MASKEDMAN FIGURE

Over the last few months in the background of the desk of makings, I've been slowly doing stuff to create the third version of my character in resin,this guy.... the Maskedman.. 

Standing 7.5 inches tall this third version has 5 points of magnetic articulation allowing their feets, arms and heads to be turned and positioned. Each one has been hand finished with additional sculpting and given one of those mini Maaadcans to control..Painted with acrylics and finished with several coats of clear lacquer, the first finished four come with a matching color scheme mini canvas to hang behind the piece or stand on the easel supplied.

If you'd like to own one of these four figures they'll be available from my Big Cartel store this Thursday 11th May at 7:00pm (UK time.)

MASKEDMAN FRAMED ORIGINALS

A small number of these Maskedman originals are now in the store after coming back from the framers looking nice!. All of them are unique, signed and feature that guy I've been putting up for years. Painted onto hard board with spray paint and acrylics before clear coating and finally framing.

All of them are different sizes so prices of these pieces vary from as little as £45 up to £60 plus postage. Head over to my ebay store to check them out in more detail.. HERE..

THINKING CAPS..

Several late nights of smudging white and black paint around with a hairy stick a few weeks ago resulted in this painting being painted..Full of textures and drips, this 1 meter by 80cm canvas was started without any real plan and quickly turned into something that was going to take a long time. After recently painting up some custom spray cans where the characters had drippy paint faces, I decided to explore this idea a little more..This was almost abandoned a few times during it's process, as it took a while for it to take shape and more than once paint dried the wrong shade of grey or a drip didn't run right and annoyed my cat. 

As with every painting, hours were spent in deep concentration and things got learnt!. When focused and "in the zone" it feels like your minds somewhere else for a while, even though it's busy trying to make paint dry in all the right places and remember how it did it.. Once certain things were figured out this piece eventually became more fun to work on and I'll definitely try out this style of painting again.

Below are some close ups to give an idea of the details and textures built up during the making of this controlled mess..

Amazingly (for me) this painting has already sold and it's nice to know it's gone to a good home, in good company where there's already some of my work :) 

GOT PRINTS?..  

 After receiving some interest in this piece after posting pictures on my social media, I promised a few people that there would be a print option.. The first A3 test prints came out well which I picked up yesterday, so... 

If you'd like a signed copy of "Thinking Caps" there are some now available from the store. HERE..  Printed on quality, thick,  heavyweight, archival slightly textured paper ( which looks more like an original piece than a glossy poster print ).. Size A3 , signed and numbered.. limited to 50 pieces worldwide..

THE HEARTIST..

Another new painting recently finished of that guy The Maskedman getting bitten by one of those MaaadCans. It's fine though, his Mickey Mouse gloves are ironically bite proof and as the can and his heart are connected, he must have told the can to bite himself!

Painted across two 20 x 16 inch canvasses with spray paint and acrylics, this piece is now available from the store HERE..

Rockin a Sponge Bob mask...new canvas..

 With a head full of ideas and styles sharp enough to kick out a lit candle, this painting of my masked character wearing a Sponge Bob mask with a crown, has recently been finished and made available in the store..

Painted with acrylics and spray paint, this was the free styled result of several late nights which has been signed and finished with a clear coat lacquer..

To take a closer look please head over to the STORE.

FOR LIFE.. NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS..MORE MAAADCANS..

It's been a busy few weeks with the run up to Christmas as orders of custom name cans are being sent out on a regular basis along with a few resin customs and the odd print..Some of those MaaadCans I've been posting about have been sent around the world lately..(it's mad to think they could be out there probably wrapped with a bow under a tree already)

I've been enjoying making these pieces and after tracking down some real looking eyes and teeth to incorporate into the sculpts, I've recently finished these 5 and put them in my store...
