New Kickin’ Crab
These are harder than they look. Lots of stress on my shoulders, but I am willing to temporarily suffer so the crabs can permanently triumph.
Pufferfish
A rare closed-mouth creation.
Tiny tail…upgraded!
This guy has been begging for an upgraded tail for a while and I finally got it done yesterday.
Blue Wize
The final fish of the recent yellow-green tangent. About 7.5” x 9”. A very piercing blue eye on this one.
Went through a yellow-green phase this week.
Which is the BEST color for tar gel dots because they yellow over time and you don’t see it on a yellow-green background. It’s about 7”x7”. I’m pleased with this one.
Kung Fu Starfish II: the green one
Ron Clementine
The voice inside my head named this one Ron Clementine. About 9” tall, 7” wide. This one is plywood which is usually pretty easy to cut and paint. However, as any plywood enthusiast knows, sometimes it has voids (open spaces between layers) and sometimes those end up in the worst places. So long story short, Ron Clementine has a lot of wood filler and glue holding him together. But he ended up great!
New one in classic colors
First seahorse in a while
I like it.
New Toucan
Another remix
This one wasn’t terrible but I thought it could be better. In the end, I’m glad I upgraded it.
Classic triple blue color combo.
Black Belt Crab
A haiku about black belt crab:
Behold Black Belt Crab,
Kicking through the air he flies,
Eyebrows curved inwards
Shiny happy starfish
Real self explanatory on this one.
Loose Lee Baste
On a sailfish. But this one lacks real-world survival skills and would surely perish if thrown in the ocean. Better suited for a nice cozy wall in the home of someone with great taste in art.
Disco Starfish
To be honest, I think I should have leaned into the disco vibes more. Good thing I can make infinity more starfishes.
New frontal fish
New one. In case you’re wondering, I don’t have a pattern for these. I sketch each one out on wood, pray everything will fit correctly, and cut them out. Usually it doesn’t and I have to adjust. This one took a lot of tweaking but I like how it ended up.
Owl #1
Switching things up a bit
Blue Frontal Fish
Probably the hardest things to cut out but relatively easy to paint.
