Jumpin’ Jack Fish
Jumpin’ Jack Fish. About 11” tall, 9” wide. Acrylic paint on plywood. Has an eyebrow because why not?
New one. Very cartoonish.
New one. Has an aggressive eyebrow
Crabby crab
Seemed like it would be pretty easy to slice the tops off the eyeballs with a miter saw. In reality, it involved several of them flying through the air at high velocity before I figured out the right way to do it. I eventually figured it out and I think I have a good process now. Anyways, here’s a very grumpy crab.
Angler fish!
I bought some black, white and silver beads to use as danglers, and this was a perfect time to use a black and silver one because it coordinated with the stripes.
Augustus
Probably the last one of August, so I dub thee Augustus. 7”x13.5”.
Pretty big new one
Usually I do a pattern like this with posca marker. But the one I was going to use ran dry, so all the trapezoids are hand painted. I like how it turned out.
Dude stripes
Because he’s a dude with stripes.
New pufferfish
Made with rivets I stole from my Dad’s workshop. Thanks, Dad!
Meet Derp Dangler
Has a nice gloss gel coating. Pretty good.
Went to hard on the dots round 1…
Simpler and (I think) better now.
New Jumpin’ Fish
About 8.5”x11”
I love Kroger Alfredo sauce!
Because it tastes good? Yeah, it’s not bad. But the silver lids on the jars are great for fish eyes. I also tried out some new stuff on the stripes and I like how it turned out.
Whale upgrade.
Better eye, some blowhole enhancements. 32% more whaletastic now.
Sun #1
Fun but so much more work than I expected. Came up with a lot of other ideas while making this one. I think there will be more suns.
Parrot #1
I’ve done many toucans, but this is parrot #1. I think there will be more!
Another upgrade.
This one of as originally made in 2023. I love the painting so I didn’t want to mess with that. It just needed a few more bells and whistles, so I gave him braces and bedazzled his eye. It’s now more consistent with my current style.
Great Juan
when I hung this one up, I thought it was a great one. Then I remembered that I love puns, so I named it Great Juan.
Finished a couple days ago, forgot to blog.
Every once in a while I go through a mosaic phase. We’re entering one of those periods right now. Just ordered some more tiles! This is an easy way to add texture and a pop of color to a piece.
