Wizard Of Oz

"If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh why can't I?"

"Off to see the Wizard!"

Skyfall

I love James Bond movies! Skyfall was no exception! The beginning sequence was great and this stunt was so fantastic. That, on top of title sequences, inspired me to do this quick illustration.

Monster Movie Legends

To Celebrate Halloween I give a nod to the great actors who's performances brought monsters to the silver screen.

Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Lon Chaney Jr. were actors who breathed life in some of the most recognizable monsters.

Film icons as their HORRIFYING ALTER EGOS!!! Boo-ah-ha-haa! BOOO-AH-HA-HAAAA!!! BOOOOO-AHHH-HAAA-HAAAAAA!!!! ^_^

The Ninja Show

Before I even had a chance to put my brushes down from the Gnome Show I was asked to participate in a Ninja show!

The Gnome Show

It's been a while since I've posted! These two pieces were done for a "Gnome Show" brought to you by Elroy Art Space back in January! "Gnome Brau Hefe-weisse" is the first painting I did in 2012! "Gnome Roasters" was a fun follow up that I sold as a digital print. Both are available as limited edition digital prints and the original "Gnome Brau Hefe-weisse" painting is still for sale!

"Penalty Kick 2010" World Cup Commemorative

This year was busy and provided a variety of work. One job brought me to Colorado Springs for two weeks where I did this commissioned painting. Match Services, based in Zurich, Switzerland, offers IT support and coordinates communication between the stadiums for World Cup. They set up shop in Colorado Springs and hired me to do some painting for their new offices. Here are some "behind the scenes" photos on top of the finished product.

Scootiki

This years Tiki show put on by "Elroy Art" Agency was a group show hybrid of tiki and scooter culture. Below are my contributions to the show. They didn't get hung because they sold online before the opening day! The buyer was going to be in Portland before the show and wanted to pick them up. Oh, well! The one right below this post is inspired by the Evel Knievel colors.
