Skeleton Boy with Eggs

I just finished this painting for a collector who requested a unique version of the "Skeleton with Bird" piece I made for the "It's ALIVE!!!" exhibit at Rendition Gallery. It's has been painted on pine, cut from the same board that I salvaged from a home improvement project. (My dad and I turned a window into a door in my house, the pine was for exterior trim.) I've actually been enjoying painting on the wood so much that I will most likely purchase more when I run out of what I have.

To prep the wood I cut a piece in the desired length. The width of the board is 3.5". This painting measures 6" top to bottom. I then use 150 grit sand paper to round the corners and soften the edges by hand. The surface to be painted gets a coat of gesso which dries for twenty-four hours, then a second coat to dry another twenty-four. After painting the piece with acrylics I gave it two coats of archival gloss varnish.

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.

Beast Buddies Mini Munny

My series of 100 custom Dunnys called Beast Buddies was a surprising success, and randomly packed into the 100 blind-boxes were 16 golden tickets. One of those tickets awarded it's collector with a free custom monster Mini Munny. The ticket was found and the custom Munny you see above was the prize.

My goal with this piece was to give a generally encompassing idea of what the Beast Buddies series was all about. Trying to create one piece that represents 100 pieces was a challenge and essentially impossible, so I focused on creating a multi-eyed monster that would fit in well with the concept that spread throughout the diverse span of customs that were all created as Beast Buddies.

Like all of the Beast Buddies, this pieces was painted with acrylics on vinyl. If you would like to inquire about having a piece commissioned for your collection, please email bryan@bacstudio.com to begin discussing your ideas.

Comments welcomed!

God bless,
