Blue Marlin and Yellow Fin Tuna Painting

Spanning the length of June through November, and 6 feet by three feet of canvas space, the Blue Marlin painting is complete. This is the largest painting I've ever finished (I've worked on some collaborative wall murals but my parts were small) and I learned so much about what I can do with brushes and paints.

This piece was a commission, but through an agreement with the client, prints are available. There are options from glossy 5x7s to extremely limited edition, full-size canvases.  View all of your options at UseEveryColor.com

God bless,

Stalking the Banks - Jaguar painting by Bryan Collins

 

"Stalking the Banks" - 18”x24”x1.5” acrylic on canvas - Bryan Collins

Be it football or the zoo, Jacksonville, Florida has a connection to jaguars. This piece is inspired by that connection, as well as my love for all creatures that roam this earth.

This piece is intended to remind us of the beauty that exists on our planet, and that we as humans must remember our role as we share this earth with other living creatures. We are all God's creation, and as appointed caretakers, humans have a responsibility that many of us neglect.

Comes with a signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity, and an artist statement and bio.

This is one of my largest paintings to date.

This painting can be personally hand delivered to your home/office within 45 miles of Saint Augustine, Florida. Worldwide shipping is also available.

Ball Python Drawing

Last year (2023) I started this ball python drawing for the National Reptile Breeder's Expo in Daytona, Florida. Time got away from me, and it wasn't completed in time for the show. Naturally, it ended up on the back burner, and was almost forgotten about. While organizing my studio, I came across the unfinished work and put aside the other pieces I was making to get this one completed.

I've had a few pet snakes over the years, including a ball python, as well as many other reptiles. With over 7,500 color morphs of ball pythons alone, there's no shortage of art inspiration in them.

Drawing a Fantasy Dragon Video by Bryan Collins

It's been a while, but I've just released a new video where I show you the progress of drawing the book cover art for my third novel, Reckless Endeavor. In the video I also share a few tips for making art full-time. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and questions for future videos. Check it out at https://youtu.be/SfelBzuutRs?feature=shared

Reckless Endeavor (A Tale From Tiltwater 3) Cover Art

 

The wait is almost over! Reckless Endeavor, the third book in the Tale From Tiltwater series, is finished and off to printing, with the eBook release happening March 8th, which is opening day of Collective Con in Jacksonville. God willing, the paperbacks will also be available that same weekend at the convention.

This installment completes the story (for now) and has twists and turns and events more bizarre that I had anticipated. Your reviews and comments about Sewn Together and Fallen Elder have been beyond anything I could hope for, and I believe Reckless Endeavor will not let you down.

If you can't make it to Collective Con, you can pre-order Reckless Endeavor now at UseEveryColor.com

God bless,
Bryan
