New Painting!
I was going for Baby Yoda with the big eyes and ears, but I think instead I got something more like Margaret Keane's Big Eyes meets Pinky and the Brain. Still cute, but more evil. I like it. I have a few

The Holiday Trials.
Around Christmas time, there's a spike in articles about why it's not always a jolly time for everybody. At least half my friends shoot out reminders that you don't NEED to involve yourself in toxic family

New Painting! A Gift for a Child.
I help out with a little guy these days. It's one of the things that's been keeping me busy the last few months. Any of you readers out there who know young kids, is that many of them have a long fart-joke

New Painting! "Katie"
You're seeing it here first. It's a Christmas gift for Mikey's mother, whose dog is very very old now. Poor little love bug is in the twilight of her life with heart problems and only one tooth left in

Sold piece with a few touch-ups.
This piece is from my first series, back in 2013. Humanimals. I had people tell me which animal they wanted me to fuse them with, and I painted their portraits as that animal. I sold a few back then, and

Every year, for the past four years around this time, I dedicate myself to one "trade" painting commission. I generally make a post in a special interest group called PALZ on Facebook, which

New Painting! Rosie of Cleves.
Only a few weeks left for me to be working on this dog series. I'm really enjoying it, but I'm also really looking forward to moving onto the next project, my upcoming solo exhibition in April next year.

Sold! An incredible series of events.
For those who haven't read my past couple blog entries here, the past month has been a tumultuous mess of a major flood in my home, dealing with our landlords to fix the situation, and a string of bizarre

New Painting! "Furface; First You Get the Money"
This doggy model was given to me by a highschool friend and fellow alumnus. I think the pup here is a Yorkie. We (my friend and I) were pretty close in grade 9, and this would appeal to her sense of humour

New Painting! "Paws to Reflect"
I'm really happy with this. It's a recreation of an 1800's painting by an unnamed artist, but with a dog holding a stick instead of a noble with a gun. I've done this many times, borrow classic works to

Much uplifted since the flood, though there is still plenty of work to do, here's my newest. And some history. I'm a fan of What We Do in the Shadows. In this parody piece here, I've taken one of the famous

I keep promising a skunk romance, and I keep delivering other things instead! I swear it'll happen. I just keep changing my mind about the scenario for the skunk/dog piece. It has to be just right. But

The background is now, I'd say, three fifths completed, up from just blocked in the other day. I worked well into the night to get to this point. At least three movies and two episodes of "Idiotest"
