Schllama Painting

My book cover is done. This is for the upcoming group art show at Pink Ghost, Book It!

Must do Plushies!!!!

It's been a while since I've made a good hearty plush. My goodness, January at the Carnival art show, was the last time. It feels like forever to me. Is not so much that I don't have the inspiration, because I do. I have so many ideas in my head. I have 2 shows coming soon, so I'm hoping to me done with my current dissertation project and get started with my plush characters. I'm also crossing my fingers. I just applied for Plush You! LA which is something that I would love to be part off. Specially now that I have so much non related plush stuff going on.

Since I don't have a cute plush image. I will leave you with what I found on the other side of a Domino's pizza box. It actually made me laugh out loud.

Serene Monsters for Small Stuff 3

6 x 6 canvas, ready to hang.

This weekend I gave Serene Monster the final touch, made the background lighter, added a bit of shadow, made the monsters eyes and gave it an UV coating. I was thinking on giving it a gloss coating but I always have problems with that spray and I really wasn't in the mood to mess the painting up. So UV spray it is.

The painting will be part of the show Small Stuff 3 @ Bear and Bird gallery. Show opens Nov. 22 and unlike other shows this time when you buy it you can take it home on the spot. I'm planning on getting there early to see all the pieces and buy some before they are gone.
