After the last cuttlefish drawing I was asked to do another, this time to look like the "round owls" I've been drawing. It was a challenge, but I managed to get everything in its place.

New Pencil Drawings

I've been traveling the country lately by car, which means a good deal of time in hotels/motels, which means a good deal of time with a sketchbook. On top of that, I've done the Albuquerque Comic Expo and New West Fest in Fort Collins, CO so those weekend-long events also provide some decent time for sketching. Below are some of the pencil drawings I've come up with in the last month or two.







Here are a couple that I recently came across in my studio...

Blue Beanie Watercolor

Blue Beanie :: 5"x7" watercolor on watercolor paper :: Available

It's been about three years since I've done a watercolor painting. I've just been really wrapped up with acrylics lately and of course, customizing figures. It's summer time and I've been drinking a lot of water, especially since I've been out doing some hiking and mountain biking. Maybe this is why I started thinking about watercolor again?

If you like this painting, email bryan@bacstudio.com to make it yours.

Current ACEO Inventory

As I begin the scrambling to prepare for the upcoming Albuquerque Comic Expo I decided to take an inventory of how many limited edition ACEO (Art Cards Editions & Originals) I have on hand. As some of you know, I release trading card sized prints in editions of 20 and always release a new one when one sells out. For the Albuquerque Comic Expo I will be making an exception in case some sell out at the expo, and I will be releasing a few in advance.

First things first though, I want to give you the chance to pick up any of the existing trading card prints that still remain in case you can't make it to Albuquerque. Below you will see the image of any card currently available and the current number left of each one. I will try my best to update this post as the cards sell so this stays as current as possible.

The ACEO prints are just $3.95 each and are signed and numbered on the back. Each comes in a removable clear polypropylene sleeve and braced with foam board for protection. Once these are sold out, no more will be made. To order, just click the card(s) you like and you will be directed to the listing on Etsy.

Pine Squares Project 2

After giving my first four pine squares 24 hours to let the surface gesso dry, I have given each of them a few layers of background color and also painted the sides black. Last night I thought I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to paint on these first four squares. However, as I sat down and stared at them and picked them up one by one waiting for colors to come into my mind I had a completely different idea. I was recently inspired by a text book that I've actually had for a few years and I feel that this first set of painted pine will be a great substrate for the inspiration.

I am not sure if I will post any more pics of these until they are finished, so that I can reveal them all at once, but you never know if I may change my mind.

These pieces are NOT commissioned and will be available when they are complete. Please email bryan@bacstudio.com to inquire.

God bless,

Pine Squares Project

Now that we are getting settled in to our new house, a few home improvement projects are starting to take place. The first major upgrade to our house was cutting out a window and turning it into a door. My father and I tackled the endeavor in order to have easy access to the back yard. Once the door was in and trimmed, I had two long pieces of pine left over. One piece was about ten-feet long and one about eight-feet long. Rather than taking them to the landfill I decided to cut them up and turn them into art.

The first project for the upcycled wood is a set of four paintings that measure 3.5"x3.5" square. I cut the squares and sanded each one by hand to smooth out the edges and corners. Afterward, each piece got two coats of gesso. They are now sitting in my studio to dry for the next 24 hours. Stay tuned for more.

God bless,
Bryan A. Collins
