Beast Buddies 5-8

These are the second set of 4 Beast Buddies. Clockwise from top left they are "Crete", "Mongolia", "Everglade", and "Larva". Each one measures 3" tall and was painted with acrylics. A couple of them have an acrylic gem attached to his/her head. Each of these little guys has already found a home, but I am making 100 Beast Buddies total so you still have time to adopt some of your own.

Beast Buddies are my series of 100 custom Dunny figurines. When you adopt Beast Buddies, they come to you neatly contained in a blind box. If you are unfamiliar with blind boxes, they are a mysterious way of packaging designer toys in which there may be need to conceal a prize. You don't know which toy you will get or if you will get a prize. In my Beast Buddies, 16 numbers have been randomly chosen to come with a Golden Ticket good for signed open edition prints, limited edition T-shirts, or a custom painted 4.5" Monster Munny.

If you are ready to adopt Beast Buddies, you can pick one up for just $45 at any of the websites below. In your box you will receive 1 custom painted one-of-a-kind original 3" Dunny, the original pencil drawing used to plan out your Beast Buddies, a bryandrinkscoffee.com sticker, and a short story about the concept of your Beast Buddies. If you are one of the fortunate 16, you will also have a Golden Ticket!

Mongolia - Beast Buddies custom Dunny

With over 3 million horses roaming the country of Mongolia, more horses than people in fact, my new team (formed after losing many on the Vinson Masiff and Tasmania trips) decided it was an expedition worth making to see if we could round one up for ourselves. Knowing the Beast Buddies version of a Mongolian horse could be detected by our sophisticated radar and tracking gadgets, along with a few carrots and apples, we headed out in confidence and came back with this beauty. Watch those teeth, though. She's a nibbler!

This one has found a home, but you can hunt down yours at www.bryancollins.bigcartel.com or at www.bryancollins.etsy.com

$1 ORIGINAL Drawing Auction on Myspace

Fellow artist Aaron Jasinski has inspired me to create a series of art paying homage to my other creative love: MUSIC. Since I was a full-time musician before becoming a full-time artist, my love for music should naturally be represented in my art. Jaskinski has been doing this for a while, and I decided I've been waiting too long.

I am auctioning this pencil drawing used to plan out the first painting. The drawing measures 8"x10" and is graphite on acid-free drawing paper. It has been sprayed with Prismacolor Fixative for protection. Bidding starts at just $1. Just go to www.myspace.com/godstattooguy and click the New $1 Original Drawing Auction blog. Bidding ends Thursday June 18th 2009. Have fun!

Six Originals UNDER $100

As some of you know, artists usually see about half of what a piece of art sells for in a gallery. On top of that, if the artist pays for a frame or matting, that comes out of his or her 50%. So, since I received the 6 pieces of work back from the gallery that had them, I am offering them at LESS THAN HALF PRICE of what they were at the gallery.

Please don't misunderstand me, I am not taking a stab at any art galleries. I love the galleries that represent my work but when I get something back I think YOU should reap the benefits!

Each of these pieces is priced at just $95. They are unframed so you can choose a 5"x7" frame in your own taste, or mat them to fit something larger.

TO PURCHASE - Just send me a message with the title of the piece(s) you want and be sure to include your email in the message. I will send you a Paypal invoice (which you can pay by credit card even if you don't have a Paypal account) and I will mail the piece to you via USPS 2-3 day Priority mail immediately. Otherwise, you can go to <a href=http://www.bryancollins.etsy.com>www.bryancollins.etsy.com</a> and make your purchase there.
