Adopt-a-Monster #2

Adoption is open on this umbrella toting potato monster. His wings are still growing so he uses his umbrella to slow his descent as he leaps from table tops and the backs of couches. His overall measurement is 5"x7" and he is made of archival ink and professional colored pencil. You can adopt him today at www.bryancollins.etsy.com

Mystery Monster 06 Video

One half of the June 28th Mystery Monsters are colored! I recorded the 6th of 12 being made and posted it on my YouTube channel in time-lapse. This is a little more than four hours of coloring condensed into just over 6 minutes.

This and eleven other original monster drawings will be released on June 28th, 2013. See this post for more details.

12 Mystery Monsters on June 28th

The time is near. On June 28th, 2013 I am releasing a dozen mystery monsters with madness on their minds. Each original monster is full-colored pencil on 2.5"x3.5" (baseball card size) illustration board and come in an archival acrylic frame. Each colored monster comes with an original blue sketch of a different monster, so you get two unique original drawings together at one time. The blue sketches are being randomly matched with the colored monsters, then packaged up and sealed. After that, no one will know which monsters are in which pack. You will receive a randomly pulled package, making them mystery monsters! They will be priced at just $75 for two drawings (one colored and framed and one blue sketch on bristol), two monster pin back buttons, and a bookmark! No limit per person, but no advance orders or holds are being accepted this time. Make sure you mark your calenders for June 28th!

Mini Purple Monster Painting

I have a lot of unfinished work in my studio, some of which dates back multiple years. This piece was started about two years ago when I did a little series of small monster paintings on re-purposed wood. I decided to put aside a couple of hours to get this particular one finished. Now this original painting can be yours for just $50 by going to the listing in my shop HERE.

Passive Aggressive Munny

Good vs. Evil has been the conundrum debated among theologians, philosophers, and laymen alike since the beginning of mankind. I was commissioned to create a custom mini-Munny based on this theme, and produced this creature I am calling "Passive Aggressive". You may notice that there is some minor sculpt work on this one. I've only sculpted on three custom figures up till now, but I am beginning to slowly integrate more 3D elements into my customs. If you are interested in commissioning a unique figure, contact me HERE.

Foomi Sea Monster

 

This Sea Monster is the first Kidrobot Foomi I've had the pleasure of customizing. I was given the request of creating a multi-eyed sea creature on the Foomi figure. He stands a little over four inches tall and was painted with acrylics. If you are interested in having me customize a figure for you, please email me at bryancollinsart@gmail.com or see the easy-order customs in my Etsy Shop.

Modification to Daily Drawings

Yesterday I completed my 84th daily drawing. This has been a fun and challenging few months of completing one small drawing each day. At this point I am going to modify the daily drawing format to more of a "what I worked on today" type of thing. The difference will be that the daily drawings will not always be a completed piece in addition to my other daily work, but a look at what progress I made during the day with whatever it may be that I am engaging in. I have a few shows coming up this summer that will consume my time and I need to knock out a great deal of new paintings. I am also a couple-dozen deep on custom art-toy commissions. So, day by day, I will be sharing one photo of whatever I worked on during that day. Sometimes it will be completed work, sometimes it will be work in progress, but there will still be at least one post per day.

This will start once I get settled in to the new place in Florida. I will need the next week or so to finish packing up and make the drive out there from Colorado.

In the meantime, this is the piece I was working on today. It's called "It's Cozy Up Here" and is being shipped out with another piece to G40 in Richmond, VA. More info on G40 at www.artwhino.com

Coldest Dunny in the world!

This is a sketch for a custom 3" Dunny that I just completed, but I won't post pics of the painted piece until the collector receives it in the mail. Why is it the coldest in the world? Well, since this Dunny is #2 in my series of Beast Buddies, he needed to be named after a region or place. I painted him in glacier blue, so I did some quick research to find the coldest mountain in the world, which is Vinson Massif in Antarctica. Named after the mountain, this is the coldest Dunny in the world.

If you want a surprise blind-box Beast Buddies Dunny for yourself, get them at www.bryandrinkscoffee.com in the SHOP, or at Etsy.

Dunny BEAST BUDDIES are here!

Beast Buddies are here!

It took an entire team of monster hunters to wrangle these little guys and get them packed into their boxes, but it's finally done! While dressing our wounds we discovered these little guys can guzzle an entire cup of coffee in one sip if you look away, so guard yours with care.

Inside each box you will find a 3" custom vinyl Dunny, hand painted with acrylics and clear coated with a glossy shine. You also get the original pencil drawing concept used to plan out your Beast Buddies (includes the name of your Buddy), and a bryandrinkscoffee.com sticker. Each one of my Beast Buddies is an original and is a mystery until you open it. Hunt down as many as you like!



Why are Beast Buddies mysteriously packaged like this? One reason is that we don't know which ones we will come across on our hunts. They are elusive little monsters! Another reason is that once they are captured, we can't risk them getting loose, so the box gets sealed right away. The third reason is that surprises and just so much fun.



*PLEASE NOTE - The Dunny you see in the photos is just an example of Beast Buddies. That little guy is named "Appalachia" and he has already found a home. Your Beast Buddies will be the same shape and size, but no two Beast Buddies are identical in design or color. Each one is as unique as you are!

Get your Beast Buddies at www.bryancollins.cartfly.com or at www.bryancollins.etsy.com
