Proud to announce, now available… Stuck Bad!!! A cover verion of the album Duck Stab (by The Residents) by The Darkening Scale! I did the cover art and package design for this piece. Duck Stab is a classic and The Darkening Scale does a top notch version, so be sure to check it out! Don’t forget, I also did the art for Darkening Scale’s The Entomology Of Sound and Sonic Archaeology, which you should also pick up while you’re at it if you haven’t already
Almost finished with my next zine Bird Dreams – Feast. It’s the second in the Bird Dreams zine series, and I’m excited to release it soon because my first one proved to be quite popular. You can still pick that one up at my Etsy shop. Also, having some fun doing some smaller paintings (5″ X 8″ roughly). Check them out!
If you haven’t been following me on Instagram, you may have missed some new pieces I’ve been making….
Had some fun using instrument strings to add some pizazz to this little painting…
And then there’s this little watercolor painting of a bird eating berries…
that’s it for now, I’m very much looking forward to 2019. There will be collabs with most of my usual friends and also I’m excited to finish some larger artworks that I’ve been working on lately!
I was having so much fun with taking pictures of my painted rock assemblages, I decided to make a zine out of it! It’s called Stone Face Gang #1. Available on Etsy for now I’ll put it up on eBay too soon for those who prefer to buy there.
It’s the usual length I like to do – 20pages (including cover). Since it is so ink heavy, this time around I decided to get it professionally printed. It’s on nice 80lb text weight glossy paper.
I also made got some prints of these images, just in case you would rather display the images than have them in a zine. You can get them as 20 – 8.5″ X 5.5″ individual prints or 9 – 8.5″ X 11″ paired prints (plus 8.5″ X 5.5″ front and back cover). Since the prints are sort of one sided (the backside is a standard back for all the prints), it took twice the printing/paper as the zine so that’s why it’s more expensive.
If you’ve been following me on Instagram you may know that I’ve occasionally been doing some assemblages. I started doing them because I wanted to post cool stuff on Instagram, but my usual paintings take a lot of time, so I had to try something a little different. I’m really liking doing them and have even branched out into making stop motions animations of them. Here’s one I recently made into a little music video and put it on my Youtube Channel:
Also, here’s a couple of the pictures of assemblages I’ve done (Check out my Instagram to see more):
Recently finished a painting of a Scrub jay and it’s secret stash of peanuts. He’s found that the best place to hide his nuts are places where nobody wants to go anyway, a couple of old skulls.
I used a couple of old skulls I found in the desert and my scrub jay friends as reference for this one.
Having fun doing outer space paintings, here’s my newest one!
It’s a gouache painting on 16″ X 20″ Illustration board.
Finished a new outer space themed artwork. It features a group of wandering space beings make their way the night sky! It’s done in gouache paint and is about 15″ x 19″. Still taking a break from actively selling artwork so there are no links on where to buy. If you want to make an offer (through my contact form or Instagram), I might be willing to consider it… keep in mind this piece took somewhere around a couple of weeks or so of full time work to complete. Don’t want to make an offer but still interested? Let me know and I’ll add you to the dibs list for it (a list I made to keep track of the artworks I have and who’s interested, and in what order I was contacted by interested parties, so that I can contact them back when I get back to actively selling things).
 
I finished a quail painting in watercolor recently. Largest watercolor I’ve ever done I think! It’s 22″ x 30″.
I have a family of quail living in my backyard who I see every day so I feel like this piece just had to be done. Quail are amazing, they can walk and peck at the ground straight out of the egg!!! Mom and Pop are are always close to keep watch and shuffle the chicks into the bushes when they sense any danger, but I still get to see them a lot since I put out seeds for the birds and have a birdbath appropriate for the ground birds. 🙂 🙂 Anywho, so yeah… here’s some pics of my quail inspired piece! 🙂
And some inspiration photos I took of the quail that live in my yard. 🙂
I finished painting the Washtub Bass that my honey built! Really pleased with how it turned out. Looks great and it even plays pretty well too. Here’s some pics!
and a before pic…
We recently painted the outside of our house and had a bunch of extra paint sample chips laying around. I found I like using the name of the color as the inspiration for a little drawing so I’ve been doing a few of them a week. Follow me on Instagram if you want to see more of them, I’ve still got a pile of paint samples so I’ll likely be doing more.

Here’s another one of my larger bird artworks. Painted on 140lb watercolor paper with watercolor paint.
Working on some larger artworks and so far it’s bird themed (no surprise there, I’ve been doing a lot of birds in general lately). Thought I’d share a pic or two. I don’t usually do open canvas style artworks, but I wanted to experiment with it and see how it goes. I’m liking it a lot so far. Here’s one example of what I’ve been working on, a portrait of our backyard robin.
Recently decided to pick up an unfinished guitar and unfinished bass to paint! I gotta say, I’m really happy with how the guitar turned out. I painted it with casein paint, which has a matte finish and will become very durable after a few months. I don’t plan on varnishing it, that would make it too glossy and I really like that matte finish. I plan on painting the covers on the back flat black because I don’t like the way the ivory color stands out. Also there are a couple touch ups here and there but so excited to be pretty much done with it though and eager to get started on the bass. I’ll do that one differently with faster drying paint and a glossy clear coat to protect it… it will be a little more practical that way.
Seems to sound pretty good too, I’m going to get someone who plays guitar to do some nice riffs on it and make a video at some point!
Yes that’s right… I’ve got a pile of sweet things for ya! One of the things I’ve been working on is a new 9 card art card series which is going to be vegetable theme. In the process of making it though, I thought of these two images Sweet Corn and Sweet Potato, and thought they’d make for good greeting card images, so I decided to not include them in my art card series and do them as greeting cards instead.  I may do them as post cards eventually too.
I’ve made 2 different color variations of greeting cards for each image… and the original artworks are for sale too! Check them all out at my etsy store.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope your first few days of 2018 are going well. I realized I haven’t put anything new up for sale in a while so here’s a brand new new one.
“Well of Ink” is a 8.5″ X 11″ pen and ink drawing that I recently finished. This black and white piece has a lot of detail and it’s really got some great movement! Check it out on Etsy for more information and pictures.
This is a painting that did in 2014 and I totally forgot I still have! I found it while organizing and have now put it back up for sale. Check it out!
I still have postcards of this piece available as well.
Just wanted to tell ya’ll I’ve added some items to my etsy shop! First off, a couple of small originals I did with my new watercolors. They’ve both got some really vibrant colors going on. One is called Caterpillar Get Together, and the other one is Fire Roasted Jalapeno. I used an image of the watercolor jalapeno piece as the label on my husband’s newest mead! (Â https://www.facebook.com/BoondockMead ) I’ve also put together some sets of my postcards (for buying convenience and bulk discount)!
I’ve caught up on adding some older originals to my Etsy shop. My originals section went empty shortly after my Poxodd Day sale so I decided I should rummage around to see what else I have to offer. Found some things I forgot to transfer from my old shop, and added one painting from 2010 that’s never been previously available. New stuff coming soon, but I’ve been on vacay this last week and have been busy just working on making more new art lately.
I’ve got Transformation Into Coffee (2016) up:
and Gruesome Discovery (2013):
I’ve finished a new artwork! It’s called “The Perfect Stick” and features a bird species from poxoddland ( there is a similar bird in my Bird Dreams – Plumage zine ).
She’s found the perfect stick and now is looking for the perfect tree to built a nest. The artwork is a drawing with layered color, I used watered down gouache paint to do the colored work and a black ink for outlines and details.  I also thought this image would make for a really nice greeting card, so I made some hand made cards based on this image (I redid the image digitally to fit well as a card). There is only a very low quantity right now since this is the first time I’ve done greeting cards and I don’t know what the demand will be.
So come on in and visit my etsy shop to get them while you can!
Also… heads up my Birthday sale is coming up in less than a week! On September 5th, all things in my Etsy shop will be 38% off in honor of my age!
UPDATE: These items have been SOLD!!! I’m leaving the post up for a history archive. Apologies for any broken links.
I put two new drawings up on eBay today! They’re two snail drawings in black/silver ink with white paint gouache highlights on brown paper. Both are 8″ X 10″ artworks in 11″ X 14″ mats. Free priority shipping in the US! Have a looksee!
One is called “Going Nowhere Slowly“:
And the other is called “Going Somewhere Never”

This artwork I’ve created is called Moon’s Brightness. The bright eyed moon works tirelessly all night making wiggly shimmer shapes on the sea’s surface. Annoyed that it can’t get any sleep due to the bright light of the moon, the sea otter turns away.
UPDATE: This item has been SOLD!!! I’m leaving the post up for a history archive. Apologies for any broken links.
This artwork that I’ve recently finished is called Tasty Treasure,
and it features a bear chowin’ down on some delicious honeycomb it found in a log.

UPDATE: This item has been SOLD. So it is no longer available on eBay, but you can still watch the YouTube Video.
I finished a new piece that is now available for bidding on, on eBay. It’s called “Catch of The Day” and it’s a great piece for fisherman and/or ocean lovers.
Here’s a link to the auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/192184620905
I also recorded my making of it and sped it up 4000% for a time lapse drawing video which I’ve uploaded to Youtube. The sounds for this video are ambient beach and harbor sounds… you may want to watch the video when in a meditative mood as it’s very relaxing… there is only the occasional boat honking. ;)! Also make sure to watch the video in HD otherwise the pen details will get lost. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DZd4td2S9g

I’ve accidentally stocked up on some drawings and things (I’ve made a lot of stuff, but I’ve been neglecting putting them up for sale). I’m going to try to sell some of these works on eBay in the coming couple of weeks. I’m starting off with a small drawing that is super cute! A spotted cub. Keep your eyes peeled if you like to buy my originals because I plan to release more shortly, but as always they’ll span quite a range of subject… so if you like this one… gettums onto the biddings on my eBay auction!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/192175807646

and maybe you should splurge on a limited edition version so you can look sharp at the next fancy event you attend!
I’ve finished a new original artwork! This is one we used for labels for my husbands hibiscus mead…. so it’s somewhat hibiscus themed. He’s trying to impress you with his pollen dance!
UPDATE: This item has been SOLD!!! I’m leaving the post up for a history archive. Apologies for any broken links.
We used this drawing I did to label one of my husbands meads (no you can’t have any, we don’t sell it, it’s just a hobby)….  So that’s why the particular flower combo. It’s a pungent beverage! At the tasting we had for it, people were torn about this particular mead flavor, some liked it… others not so much… but everybody loved the art.  Now you have a chance to own the art and love it on your wall!
Hi there all my R&TL and poxart fans! Now… for the price of a hambu or a couple of hodos, you can get a Renaldo & The Loaf – Gurdy Hurding sticker set!
I made them in both a black on clear version:
and a color on white version:
It’s a little bit cheaper to buy both.
I’m giving bulk discounts on these stickers because you know once you stick them to your filing cabinet (or whatever) that’s when you’ll realize you really would have rather had them on your camping trailer (or whatever). You’ll need some to stick on various things. Also you may want to buy some to save for future sticking… I don’t plan on doing a reprint.
Also a cool feature, these stickers are trading card size so they fit great in any sort of trading card display or holders.
At the moment you can also get them in a bundle with mini posters and save a few bucks.
Remember… Renaldo and Ted get a % of every sale! So show your appreciation and encouragement by buying and enjoying these fabulous items!
If you don’t have the album…. what’s wrong with you?! This is one of the best albums ever… buy the album and buy my matching merch.
Renaldo & The Loaf – Gurdy Hurding mini posters have arrived! 11″ X 14″ in size, they seem substantial, yet are modestly sized for displaying in smaller areas. I’m selling them as a set only, you get all 4 prints for $20+shipping!
They’re professionally printed on thick card stock and have a matte UV coating to protect the colors. Also they have an official stamp on the back. Add 4 sets of poster strips to your order and you’ll be ready to hang. Large Limited Edition posters you can get here.
You can also get the mini poster in a bundle with the stickers….
UPDATE: This item has been SOLD!!! I’m leaving the post up for a history archive. Apologies for any broken links.
New painted rock eBay auction!!!
I call it Star Inspector.
Check it out… ends Monday morning the 12th!
Alright, the day has arrived, Renaldo & The Loaf – Gurdy Hurding posters are now available for purchase.  You’ll want these to hang on your wall to remind you every day that there are wonderful things in the world. So get on it while you can!
Good news folks!
Renaldo & The Loaf – Gurdy Hurding Posters are Coming Soon to PoxShop!
I’m going to put them up for sale this Friday, 2nd of December.
I’ve made R&TL their own section in PoxShop, check it out here.
Since the posters I made are double sided, I figure people may want to buy more than one of each so both sides can be displayed simultaneously…. that’s why there will be a couple options for bulk deals.  Mix and match 2 or 4 posters and it will be cheaper than buying them individually.
I know what you’re thinking…. “posters are great… but I really want a T-shirt!” Well, that’s what I plan to do next.  So buy these posters to make it easier for me to fund the shirts, and well, because they’re beautiful posters and you need them.
😀
Don’t forget, R&TL will get a portion of each sale! So not only are you encouraging me to make more R&TL merch by buying posters, but you’re putting some cash into Renaldo & Teds pockets as well, which I’m sure will help them feel encouraged and appreciated.
If this first run sells well, I’ll likely do another run as well.
