#12 OF 13



Here is one of the last illustrations for the artshow. i will be showing this piece on its path to being finished. with a final shot of it in the frame.


here is a scan from a small thumbnail that will be blown up to 8x10 and revisited with darker lead. I usually start with thumbs about 1" wide and so on tall. this helps me insure that the space will be interested from a great distance, now for me to make it interesting closeup.



Here is the second step. i have redrawn this over a scaled back 10% print out of my original thumbnail at a size close to 8x10. this also allows me to crop my thumbnail appropriately with
illustrator as to the size i am framing.


graphite on hotpress board 9x13 initial scan, will be followed with a tweaked version with the reds applied.

dye spray to age the image, unless i have the temptation to add anything else i will be posting an image of this in a frame soon

These are sold as a set of 3 - 4"x4" wood with wood heads drawn on with color pencil and super sealed ( one has a cigarette, one has a pipe and the other is an x smoker) not sure on the shipping, would say 20 to be safe - these will be super bubble wrapped as well shipped with fedex.

okay i have some art that has become quite the headache in the floor of the art room. So if you would like to have any of these just send me an offer and pay for shipping. These pieces are from my" Dandyland of failure" series in 2008. so they look way different then the direction i have been taking as of recent, but these guys are fun. i just don't have the room for them anymore. if you would please email me at dandysnaz@gmail.com just title the email garage sale or something to that matter so i can find it :D I will be taking down the pieces spoken for to make matters easier.

dont be shy, make me a offer, and pay for shipping. plus you will be funding my art budget! :D
btw, think reasonably cheap, not looking to get rich.

shipping is listed above as US shipping costs, if you happen to be out of the US please let me know so i can get you actual shipping costs.

thanks so much for looking, hope you get some art to hang on those walls!

2 MORE poop poops



I have 2 more to show from previous sketches a few posts back. my scanner is a little short and it has cut off a bit of the illustration on the top and bottom. i have tried my best of crop these as interesting as possible given the challenge. I did get a chance to come in and scan everything this weekend so I'm pretty excited to only have 2 finials to finish and 12 more frames to complete. then its off to putting these guys in a zine for the show. I talked to a friend today about ebay frames, woo, there are some really nice Victorian frames for super cheap. thanks for the info, i think i might shop around for frames next time before starting such a weirdly shaped format.

so wish me luck this weekend is frames weekend, if i have all my fingers Monday I'll post some pics!

Progress, beer and powertools....


Lilly with her halo of shame
most of the 13 pieces, still due 3, a cover design for the zine and stories to go along. wee the month has been going by fast.
bad evil jigsaw blade
progress to frames

Okay, well had a few crazy past weeks. Lilly my dog ate a nail in front of me we had to remove it surgically, now shes wearing a scar and a bad girl halo of loud annoying plastic. I have been trying to find a way that is cheap enough to do the framing of all the 13 pieces for the December art show that is quickly approaching. well i shopped around, had (framer) someone picked, then bam money to the dog doctor. So i can kind of thank Lilly in this ironic way, because i have actually come up with a plan to make pretty cool frames on the cheap. so i liberated my dog of a nail, she liberated me of my framing funds, as well as pushed me to create what i felt i couldn't previously (diy frames). so i guess double good comes of double bad. Here are a few picks that i have taken of my progress with the frames. the frames are around a 1.45 ft tall, with the window area to fit a 9x13 illustration. I think its time to stick in a movie and start concepting the final 3.
