Rapunzel! Updated!

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Original Post (See Below for Update):
Hello All,

I recently finished a huge 6 foot by 18 inch painting of Rapunzel’s Tower. In my version, Rapunzel is a scrappy red-head that’s just short of some hair so the prince can’t quite reach. Maybe next year he’ll be able to save her! Click any of the images below for really big versions so you can see more of the details.


This image was the result of more experimenting- painting oils over sealed gouache on watercolor paper. I’m pretty happy with how this process is progressing and I’m excited to see where it will go in the future. Feel free to contact me if you have questions about how I’m doing it.

I’ve also updated the Kids and Young Adult Gallery to the left to include them also.

Update: I’ve gotten some requests for a larger version of the image. Here’s a link to a huge version that’s about 800 kb.

Two Random New Things

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Hello All!

My wife bought me a Munny Tree Ornament this past Christmas. For those that don’t know, Munnys are customizable blank vinyl toys. You can get more information about them at the KidRobot website. For mine, since it was a Christmas gift, I decided to create a version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I finally got a chance to complete it and it’s below.

The nose is a glass bead created by my friend Elaine.

Secondly, I forgot to post the skateboard that I painted a few months ago! It’s for sale at my etsy shop so many of you may have already seen it. If not, it is posted below.

Also, for future reference, I have posted both of these projects in the Miscellaneous Gallery to the left.

Thanks for reading!
