This piece was somewhat experimental, as I used different methods to plan and process the art. The first sketch was drawn much smaller in my sketchbook with a normal #2 pencil. I used a projector to transfer it to an 11x14 canvas, but after spending a couple of hours painting, I put the canvas aside and decided to switch to colored pencil, so I started over with an 11x14 piece of bristol. I spent <i>another </i>hour coloring that, then decided that the juxtaposition would frame better on 11x17, so I started all over with the projector on a new piece of larger bristol and created the final piece you see here.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2bfDzauQ7OWnzsM_hr3FYv97hXtyswg7mmYAcc8wnOOb90LHeafFzBGkji2Wz6np5447C2W1n4FmFJNTLfizei9M7_1PXwGhrIqCfHoQUkc88d88wPMaNFg_dSsniVCNodpYmUI603xHzvX7r7BMeJxA0Lx3HpH4znQalG9dzywQtnhI1SJNN_N7idQ/s1890/gator2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1890" data-original-width="1512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2bfDzauQ7OWnzsM_hr3FYv97hXtyswg7mmYAcc8wnOOb90LHeafFzBGkji2Wz6np5447C2W1n4FmFJNTLfizei9M7_1PXwGhrIqCfHoQUkc88d88wPMaNFg_dSsniVCNodpYmUI603xHzvX7r7BMeJxA0Lx3HpH4znQalG9dzywQtnhI1SJNN_N7idQ/s320/gator2.jpg" width="256" /></a><br /><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The sky, water, and bed area below were done in shapes and forms borrowed from my earlier Coffee Girls series, while the flamingo and alligator were colored in ways I've been using more recently.

Some of that fear could be innate, but I believe most of it stems from a lack of information. Makers of movies and television, creators of Halloween décor, and general mythology form our fears of arachnids. Some spiders do pose serious threats, but most are truly harmless and, moreover, extremely beneficial to the world as a whole.</p><p>Did you know, for example, that male Black Widow Spiders carry no toxins, and that bites from the female are rarely fatal? Sure, you still don't want one to bite you, but just staying away from these creatures is enough. They won't chase you down and attack you.</p><p>Black Widow Spider<br />4"x6" ink, graphite, and red pencil on paper<br />Available at <a href="http://useeverycolor.com">useeverycolor.com</a></p><p>God bless,<br />Bryan</p>Bryan Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16276687187927644591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745511506079970540.post-1263871960647391492023-02-21T12:54:00.002-07:002023-02-21T12:54:43.212-07:00Black House Spider Ink Drawing<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcmtssn3o3EwqsH-8BzdEKzeH3TKsEmmESCDr3XOUgjUrAEllxPC0oNQej5HUTRshl4eo2zl_cN9fykXod0P5es2HKHGpqAZI2YLkLkydYnbNZH92niCq7d_QaxVz-p3NSJ39ZvWfom23VgoMR_IB0BPgvg1xpxV0vgYIJLzPyeJ4C0P0xRZbEqcT-Q/s1800/blackhousespider.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcmtssn3o3EwqsH-8BzdEKzeH3TKsEmmESCDr3XOUgjUrAEllxPC0oNQej5HUTRshl4eo2zl_cN9fykXod0P5es2HKHGpqAZI2YLkLkydYnbNZH92niCq7d_QaxVz-p3NSJ39ZvWfom23VgoMR_IB0BPgvg1xpxV0vgYIJLzPyeJ4C0P0xRZbEqcT-Q/s320/blackhousespider.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">In the continuing preparation for this year's <a href="http://www.reptilebreedersexpo.com/" target="_blank">National Reptile Breeders' Expo</a> in Daytona, Florida, I've created this <b>Black House Spider</b> drawing. The original work is 4"x6" ink on paper, and is available now. I'm not requiring anyone to wait for the show in August, because if the originals for this show sell out online, I will offer prints of them at the Expo. The requirement of this show state that the <i>only</i> art allowed must feature reptiles, arachnids, and amphibians (it's really a reptile convention), so I'm stocking up as fast as I can. There are some original works that I'm saving to reveal at the Expo, but this Black House Spider is ready for a home today.

The client spent some time living in Colorado and now resides in Florida where he's part owner of a rock climbing gym. The prevalence of bears in both states, and the climbing connection to Colorado and the gym, and his overall vibe led me toward this idea.</p><p>Here's the strange part. When I delivered the painting to the client, his reaction was hard to read at first. He seemed to love the art, but there was something else in his face that I couldn't' decipher. He struggled for words, then said, "Want to know what's crazy? My Native American spirit animal is a bear, and my wife and I were just saying if we have a son we want to name him Bear!" He was blown away that I chose an animal that was so important to his family. After sleepless nights hoping he would like the art, I rested easily, knowing he would treasure the painting.</p><p><br/></p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CnNoY5Jrjqe/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style=" background:#FFF;

The character who goes by the name No Face is arguably the most interesting and important character in the film, as he teaches us a lesson of gluttony, while also teaching others a lesson of greed. I drew No Face without a reference photo, to offer a completely new example of the character. As a tea drinker, I also added a cup for No Face, since he enjoyed some tea in the movie, and also included gold nuggets falling from his hand.</p><p>The original work is 5"x7" colored pencil and watercolor on Strathmore Toned Tan paper.<br />Prints and originals are available at <a href="http://useeverycolor.com">useeverycolor.com</a></p><p>God bless,<br />Bryan</p>Bryan Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16276687187927644591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745511506079970540.post-6858989169842792122022-11-08T11:32:00.002-07:002022-11-08T11:32:23.371-07:00Hammerhead Shark Mixed Media Illustration<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7fj8Ss1ko5DadgG6iRuTZm2UixC5l_1kzyR72bZdlKptjF0TuVPlwSWpZ769m22C-mQy1FASr-c_MZ1Se_gZeKMTinuWkPYiA7QhAde5O4ys2wyi_F0Pbn3Ouimu7faEDA8gzLRQ615Iduh2raU4FyWg2p5whwD9ySsWJCNpocUBM7c31wI_FbODng/s800/hammerhead.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hammerhead Shark by Bryan Collins" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7fj8Ss1ko5DadgG6iRuTZm2UixC5l_1kzyR72bZdlKptjF0TuVPlwSWpZ769m22C-mQy1FASr-c_MZ1Se_gZeKMTinuWkPYiA7QhAde5O4ys2wyi_F0Pbn3Ouimu7faEDA8gzLRQ615Iduh2raU4FyWg2p5whwD9ySsWJCNpocUBM7c31wI_FbODng/w320-h256/hammerhead.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>You probably already know that one of my favorite art themes is nautical or sea life. Strangely enough I have only made a couple of shark drawings, and with a few upcoming animal-themed events I plan on exhibiting at, it seemed a great time to add a shark to the collection of available artwork. One of my personal favorites is the <i>hammerhead shark</i>, due to it's strange and unique head shape.</p><p>Did you know that hammerhead sharks use that wide head to trap stingrays to the ocean floor so they can eat them? Hammerheads have very few predators, but other sharks and humans are the majority. Horrifically, over a <b>100 million sharks</b> are killed each year. I myself am a fisherman and seafood lover, and believe both can be enjoyed responsibly.</p><p>When you support Bryan Collins Art, you're also helping to support various wildlife organizations such as the <a href="https://wildlifeflorida.org/" target="_blank">Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida</a>, <a href="https://www.whitney.ufl.edu/conservation--sea-turtle-hospital/" target="_blank">The Sea Turtle Hospital at Whitney Labs</a>, the <a href="https://hboifoundation.org/" target="_blank">Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute Foundation</a>, and others.

<p>Hey Pokémon fans! Still working my way through all of the Eeveelutions, I've completed Leafeon. The original work is colored pencil on <a href="https://www.strathmoreartist.com/" target="_blank">Strathmore</a> Toned Tan paper. This one adds to the already completed Umbreon, Espeon, and Vaporeon. If you'd like prints (or originals) of any of these, or any other Pokémon, click <a href="https://www.useeverycolor.com/shop/prints/pop-art/pokemon" target="_blank">HERE</a> for my website!</p><p>If you're in the NE Florida region, you can usually catch me at the <a href="https://riversideartsmarket.org/" target="_blank">Riverside Arts Market</a> in Jacksonville with tons of prints, shirts, stickers, etc. It's every Saturday from 10am-3pm under the Fuller Warren Bridge. See you there!</p><p>Bryan</p>Bryan Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16276687187927644591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745511506079970540.post-60303118879980424732022-09-13T09:01:00.002-06:002022-09-13T09:01:44.090-06:00Snorlax Drawing by Bryan Collins<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs_ffNGbTmMzj2SOkAJk2m5LTz_RYNSdcLqNyVkMvgpapgQvG0qAkpMXTy_Rk-w99A54wKtUR7qAOck8oglc9J6e9GQnpoBrq1LTpFdO3gUVUxDr2NTJGyoKKqHt4a8r6xfYEZLQeG2yolWpUZbfRqBrMvY6zqKqXqNSHrq6ZvDqqYBqtYXvTHEl3HVQ/s1000/snorlax.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs_ffNGbTmMzj2SOkAJk2m5LTz_RYNSdcLqNyVkMvgpapgQvG0qAkpMXTy_Rk-w99A54wKtUR7qAOck8oglc9J6e9GQnpoBrq1LTpFdO3gUVUxDr2NTJGyoKKqHt4a8r6xfYEZLQeG2yolWpUZbfRqBrMvY6zqKqXqNSHrq6ZvDqqYBqtYXvTHEl3HVQ/s320/snorlax.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>Thanks to the cool folks at the <b>Woké Poké</b> shop in Saint Augustine, FL I have a reason to make new Pokémon art on a regular basis. They have ALL of my Pokémon prints for sale in the store, as well as a few originals. If you're into the Pokémon trading card game, definitely go there! There are tables set up all around, and there's always someone playing or waiting for a challenger. The store does buy-sell-trade too, so bring your extras and pick up some rare and powerful cards to add to your deck. While you're there, check out this original Snorlax drawing on display, and tell them Bryan sent you.</p><p><a href="http://facebook.com/TheWokePoke/">facebook.com/TheWokePoke/</a></p><p><a href="http://useeverycolor.com">useeverycolor.com</a></p>Bryan Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16276687187927644591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745511506079970540.post-52316801018656357222022-09-06T13:17:00.000-06:002022-09-06T13:17:05.336-06:00New Fuzzy Monster Painting<p><br /></p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/ChV5pD-LuEY/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);

I found the unfinished work during a minor studio cleaning, and since we're approaching Halloween, I felt like it was a good time to break it out and finish giving it life. The finished art is 5"x7" acrylic on cradled basswood panel with painted sides, varnished surface, and fitted with hardware on the back for hanging.

They're available in two size, 8x10 and 5x7, and come in two different paper options for you as well. Any size or paper option is hand signed.</p><p>The original work is 8"x10" colored pencil on tan paper, matted to 11"x14" and is sold. More Pokemon are on the way, but first, I'm putting the finishing touches on the second installment of the <a href="http://www.books2read.com/sewntogether" target="_blank">Tale From Tiltwater</a> series of fantasy novels. Book one has been getting wonderful reviews on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1393091857?tag=books2read02-20">Amazon</a> and <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53490358-sewn-together" target="_blank">Goodreads</a>, so you don't have to take my word for it. Go ahead and give book one a try, and if you've already read it, please consider leaving an honest review. That will help others find the book, and help me be able to write many more!</p><p>As always, thank you for your continued support. I am grateful for you all.</p><p>Bryan</p> <script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>Bryan Collinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16276687187927644591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745511506079970540.post-26409650658325662272021-03-03T07:37:00.003-07:002021-03-03T07:37:50.386-07:00First New Art Pieces Of 2021<center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CJrjLFTrH37/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);

I've been creating new art, new products that feature my art, and traveling for various reasons, both good and bad. As we enter the month of March in 2021, I have five new pieces to share with you. Honestly, five pieces in two months is more than my usual, but I did start one of them a while back. More on that in a moment. First up is this Underwater Skull with Flame Angelfish. You probably know my love for all things aquatic, and I've been contemplating a couple of underwater pieces that I've not yet been ready to tackle, so I started with this 5"x7" acrylic painting to begin exploring ways I might move forward on the larger pieces. You can check my Etsy shop to see if the original is still available <a href="http://www.bryancollins.etsy.com" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXQFl-rgln/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);

(There are two unofficial pieces that were created for a commercial collector, and are numbered separately.) It's also the piece that I mentioned earlier, which I started painting a while back. Since I finished it in 2021, it's included in this set of new art. At 16"x20", this is the largest Funky Fish painting ever offered publicly and is available in my Etsy shop if you're so inclined. There are prints available in three sizes as well. <a href="http://www.bryancollins.etsy.com" target="_blank">Shop my Etsy.</a><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CK7gC4aLalR/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);

This piece was created with colored pencil and watercolor on gray paper, and measures 5"x7".

All of my Pokémon friends have been asking for more, so I chose to add to my Eeveelutions, as I currently only offer prints of Eevee and Umbreon. At the time of writing this blog post, I just finished Vaporeon last night, so if you check now, you may find the original still available, but either way, I listed prints immediately due to a high demand. The original is 5"x7" colored pencil on tan paper, just like 99% of my other Pokémon drawings. Grab one for yourself <a href="http://www.bryancollins.etsy.com" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<div><br /></div><div>My next in-person show is <b>Collective Con</b> in Jacksonville, FL March 12-14.
