I decided to fly in the face of my side project, the one about the tiny teeth, and sink my chompers into something a bit different. Big teeth.

This was for the Super Awesome Art Challenge blog, the theme was Teeth.

In other teeth news, stuff is still rolling along at Some Tint Teeth so check it out if you want. I’ll probably post a little recap of the past few months one of these days….

There is a show coming up in a couple weeks at the MF Gallery in Brooklyn with a lovely Zombie theme. I am participating in the show, and this lovely bunch of the undead are my contribution:

Stale-Mates, 16″ x 8″, Acrylic on Canvas (click to make it bigger).

Well, not really the Commish.  Just a couple commissions.  One Mr. David Bowie.  And one Mr. (?) Carol (?) from Where the Wild Things Are.

This would be Bowie circa 1983. From that moonlight tour. He must have washed his white suit with his yellow socks or something…

I think this is more inspired by the monster in the book rather than the movie. I don’t know if the monster had a proper name in the book. Needless to say, he’s happy about something…

Oh, both are acrylic on basswood, if anyone cares.

I think I will post a recap of all the Some Tiny Teeth paintings for any given month, once that month is over. So here are all the paintings I did for April:

So there you have it. 7 paintings for April, all 5×5 acrylic on canvas.  31 for done for the year, 69 more to go.

I was staring at a couple sketchbooks I have sitting on my desk all the time. They don’t get much love, in lieu of a graph-paper notebook. However, the have a benefit of thick smooth paper. And sometimes I think I should paint in them. I did once long ago. This weekend, I decided to try painting in one again. For two purposes: to test out some new paint colors and to remind myself I should paint in these sketchbooks more often. So here you go:

If you have a true eagle eye you may think to yourself, ‘Wait a minute, this looks familiar!’ Well, it might, it was sort of painted before when I was trying out my golden opens.

I think I will post a recap of all the Some Tiny Teeth paintings for any given month, once that month is over. So here are all the paintings I did for March. Clicking them will take you to the other blog.

So there you have it. 9 paintings for March, all 5×5 acrylic on canvas.  24 for done for the year, 76 more to go.

Way back when, circa 2003(ish) when I was in the height of art school, I took many animation classes.  I have mostly ignored my animation training since.  But wouldn’t you know it, I ran across all the scans from my character animation class.  I lost the VHS with everything compiled on it, and the source files vanished into the ether, so I had not seen these things pretty much since 2003.  Well, it occurred to me with my shiny new flash I should be able to re-compile these bad boys and take a gander.  They made me giggle.  I thought I’d share.

First up, the project titled: Nice

I think the goal of this was to show two characters where one helps the other. The fella on the left is sad he only has 1 nipple. The wide fella on the right has 3 nipples, so he decides to share. All rejoice. Technical back-end, I busted out my long lost actionscript knowledge to make the movie pan slightly to the left. The effect is worthless and took me over an hour to figure out. It was totally worth it.

Secondly, the project titled: Fight

I think the goal of this was to show two characters where one does not help the other. Clearly there is an angry drunk man, and an annoying fella who never learned to dress himself asks the old man to whack him in the face. Everyone probably won.

SO there you have it, two animation things that have not seen the light of day in probably 7 years. I have a few others, that I might post if I can find the sound files that go along with them (these two are sound free).

I think I will post a recap of all the Some Tiny Teeth paintings for any given month, once that month is over. So here are all the paintings I did for February. Clicking them will take you to the other blog.

So there you have it. 7 paintings for February, all 5×5 acrylic on canvas.

If you were to hop into the sort-of-way-back-machine to October of 2009 you could witness the marriage of two of my very good friends, Chris H. and Lindsay (links over on the side there).  Now they have about a millions pets, so I decided I would paint their two dogs as them as a now very late wedding gift.  Here they are:

Atari/Chris on the left and Twinkus/Lindsay on the right.

And now for bigger versions!

Atari/Chris Acrylic on Basswood. approximately 5″x7″

Twinkus/Lindsay Acrylic on Basswood. approximately 5″x7″

This is for the Super Awesome Art Challenge blog.  It is a game where the goal is to feed the bird. I just got my copy of flash, and this is what I needed it for.
