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!

Anchored Heart Shirts

The "Anchored Heart" tees are about to start shipping and I am giving away the original blue-pencil sketch used to create this design to one person who orders the shirt before Feb 28th. Each shirt ordered enters your name into a random drawing, so order three shirts and your name goes in three times. Consider giving these as gifts to increase your odds of winning. The shirts are printed on light heather grey cotton/polyester blend unisex tees and are just $15 until Feb 28. They will be $18 thereafter. These are very limited edition shirts with only 100 total being made, so sizes are limited to about 20 or so each. Don't delay, order today - www.bryancollins.bigcartel.com

Coffee Girl in Progress

Although I closed my series of "Coffee Girls", I did agree to accept a commission for one. It will be an 8"x10" colored pencil piece. Here is the initial idea sketched out in blue drawing pencil.

I went to my local Hobby Lobby to get some illustration board for this piece. It was my first time in the Saint Augustine store. The family is still getting settled in to our new place and finding our way around. When I lived in Gainesville, FL I made frequent trips to St Augustine, but usually just hung around St. George Street and then over to Villano Beach. Now that I live here I will need to figure out where to purchase all of my art supplies. I must admit, I will always have a very large place in my heart for Colorado, but it sure is nice to cruise over to the beach whenever I want. It's only about 15 minutes away.

I will post more pics of this Coffee Girl in progress as I move along with it. Coffee Girl merch and prints are available at www.bryancollins.etsy.com
God bless,
Bryan

Her Tears Are Stars

It's been a crazy few weeks with the Albuquerque Comic Expo, still getting settled in to our new house, painting live in downtown Fort Collins every weekend for Streetmosphere, and working on commissions. I know it may seem weird to take a break from art by making more art, but sometimes that's exactly what I do. Every once in a while I need to do something that is just for the sake of making art, and that's what this piece is.



I call this one "Her Tears Are Stars" and it is 5"x7" colored pencil on illustration board. It's been a while since I've made anything in the psychedelic style, so that was really the only theme I had in mind.



There is more information about this piece HERE.

Thoughts and comments welcomed.

God bless,
Bryan A. Collins
