A few readers may remember the tiny monster paintings I did on scrabble tiles for a gallery show at Lulubell back in February. I had so much fun with them that I did a bunch more. Here are 6 of them along with the letter that appears on the back. You may notice that the “I” is upside down on the green fellow. Whoops.

Acrylic on Scrabble Tile

It has been way too long since I’ve posted here. So I’ll be posting just about every day this week to catch up on what I’ve been up to the past few months.

Let’s begin with something I did for fun just this past week. I wanted to play with text and readability. Hopefully the words aren’t too jumbled!

8 Spiders = 64 Legs and Infinite Fright!

Hello All,

MiniGrand, a group gallery show of tiny paintings (7″ and under), opens this Saturday at Lulubell Toy Bodega in Tucson. It’s located at 35 E Toole #1 and the opening in from 6 to 9 pm. There are over 20 artists involved and a ton of tiny works.

Here’s my contribution to the show- Monster Parade, Acrylic on Scrabble Tiles.

If you’re in Tucson, I hope to see you there. If you don’t live in Tucson but want one of the monsters, they’re $25 each. Just contact the gallery at (520)622-5858.

Here’s another Christmas tree ornament made up of painted scrabble tiles. This one has three little monsters doing various Christmas-themed activities- tangled in lights, cutting out paper snowmen, and eating a present.

I’m having fun doing these ridiculous little things.

My wife and I went to a tree trimming party this past weekend. The goal was to bring an object that you had either created or found that could be turned into an ornament. I painted a Santa Claus on 5 scrabble tiles that spelled out Santa across the back.
