Sold & Personal Paintings / Projects

      Hyenow! Since the last few posts have been "for sale" stuff, I'd like to post sold stuff. I've done a lot of paintings and projects that I haven't showcased so here it goes:

Bowie
This one isn't a sold painting but it's my dog. In a previous post I did an acrylic pour on another plaque. I got those two plaques at a goodwill. I wanted to paint my favorite pup.

Chicago Bears - Wall Mounted Bottle Opener
This was present I gave my brother, Casey, for Christmas a year to two ago. I had an idea to make something and I thought my brothers would appreciate it.

Tennessee Titans - Wall Mounted Bottle Opener
I made this one for my brother, Sean, for Christmas. 

Cursor - Wooden Pixel Art
I sold this one not too long ago to a guy in Brooklyn. Nice guy, I think he said he was going to hang it up in his startup company.

Electric Lilies - Blue 

Electric Lilies - White
I did three of  these paintings but I messed up and touched the third one. That's one thing a hate about myself is the "too much" gene. If I do a painting and I don't like it, I start to keep messing around with it and it goes no where and I just wasted paint and time. Anyway I was proud of these two paintings. I used the string pull technique and I like doing those. The next time I do a painting, I'll try and do a silhouette / string pull floral painting. I sold one of these to my sis-in-law Ashley.

Falcon Rising - Acrylic Pour / Silhouette painting on a vinyl record
As you can tell, I'm a big Star Wars fan and I did the Millennium Falcon. I tried to find the correct colors to use. (Tan and yellow for the sandy exterior, green for the blasters, red for some detail exterior). It came out great and someone recently bought it.

Galaga Ship - Wooden Pixel Art
A simple ship, a good little painting for the game room.

Jimi Hendrix - Acrylic Pour / Silhouette painting
I'm not sure if I've posted this one before but whatever. This one I added glow in the dark paint for all the white parts and the green and pink are glow in the dark too. I had this hanging in my bedroom over my lamp so when I went to bed, I turned off the light and Jimi lit up. I kinda miss seeing it.

Red Lilies - Acrylic Pour painting on vinyl record

Red Lilies  -Acrylic Pour painting on canvas
Honestly, the canvas was a flook. I started doing the string pull and I had enough paint to do another one and I had a used canvas left. My best work is the one on vinyl (I think). I sold both of those to a lady on eBay and she sent me a message that was so nice, I sent her a bonus gift. It was probably the nicest thing someone has said about my paintings. Also, I like to draw doodles on the back of each of the paintings I do so if you have one, you might want to check it out, idk. Also I sign them all.

Water World - Acrylic Pour painting
I gave this one to my Niece because my mom mentioned that she liked it.

     Well that's all for now. Tune in next time. Later peeps. Should I keep typing the beginning and ending like that? idk


















Star Wars - Battlefront 2 Cover Art

      Heynow! In the past, I played Battlefront 2 for a long time. Now it's THPS 1+2 time but I wanted to share the different cover art that I've printed out and put in the case.

Crait

Death Star II 
My personal favorite because I'm an OT guy

Geonosis

Kashyyyk

Kessel


     Bye for now. Later peeps




New Logos

      Heynow! For a while now I've been saving the hot sauce packets from KFC & Taco Bell and I decided to put them all in an empty Tabasco bottle. I cleaned up the bottle and added a new label called "Hot Packets!"




     I think I did a pretty good job of a little project but it tastes pretty good, especially on pizza. I'm a hot sauce boy for life. Later peeps

Wooden Pixel Art - NEW HEART COLLECTION

      Heynow! I've also been doing some wooden pixel art pieces. Here are a few of them in my Etsy Shop:

At the end of this post, I'll tell you what's coming up and what to expect.







 The New Heart Collection

Recently, someone messaged me on Etsy to do a commission of a heart. So I did some research and found a heart that they liked. Then I decided "since she wants one, maybe other people might want one" so I made multiple.

Red Heart

stacked

 I'm leaving the blanks so that when someone wants a heart, they can pick a color for me to fill in. I'll also add an option if they want a resin finish. This will be in my Etsy shop very soon. Later peeps.


Acrylic Pour Paintings on Vinyl Records (Upcycle)

      Heynow! I've done a lot of pours now on vinyl records and it's a good area to paint. It's pretty cheap for a boxset of four records for $2. Then again you do need to add a frame to hold it together. Here are some paintings that are still available in my Etsy Shop:

Previously untitled, I decided to add layers of different color pours and take off the painters tape to show the best parts of each pour. There are three different color layers on there.

This was one of the first pours on vinyl. I also tried to use silicone oil to have the affect of cells in rows. The colors remind me of Indian corn (red, yellow, & purple).

Lava Rose
This a new one, I haven't posted it on Esty yet but I need to take some more photos of this one. I used painters tape and a stencil for this one. A lot of times I'll apply painters tape to the record, draw out the stencil and then use a utility knife to take off the inside stencil. Apply the pour, wait for it to dry and then peel off the rest of the tape. Applying a resin finish is more expensive but worth it. It makes it pop and show off the colors more.

A silhouette of Leia again but on vinyl. It's a subtle silhouette but once you see it in person, you can tell a difference. I really like this one.

 
I really liked these colors. It reminds me of the 90's solo cups with the same name.

Winter Daisy
Another new one that hasn't been posted yet on my Etsy shop. I used glow in the dark green paint in the middle. For the pour I used: red, orange, white, and yellow but the red really dominated this piece.


That's all the vinyl record acrylic pours that I've done lately. Check out the wooden pixel art pieces. Later peeps.
