Jelly & Turtle Custom Bass

Jelly & Turtle Custom Bass

Posted on by Poxodd

Did a painting for my husband’s custom bass a while ago. He made the bass from parts, and I painted the painting on heavy watercolor paper and mounted it to the bass.

The painting is gouache paint sprayed with quite a few coats of Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic coating, and then waxed with Dorland’s Wax Medium (to reduce sheen and prevent acrylic tackiness problems). Mounted the paper to the bass with Golden Acrylic Soft Gel.

Painted it probably a year ago or so and the finish has held up well to regular usage.

Hey check this out! A new Renaldo & The Loaf – Gurdy Hurding Vinyl from Secret Records is now available! Isn’t it gorgeous?

It’s always an honor doing things for Renaldo and The Loaf and I am really happy I got to do some new art for this piece. The packaging design came together quite well and the colored vinyl looks fabulous. Best of all there’s also new music on Side D, so make sure to pick this one up! Check out renaldoloaf.com and their FB official group for more info on RaTL in general.

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.

Bird Bass Finished

Bird Bass Finished

I recently finished painting a bird head on a bass!  I followed the contours of the instrument closely when it came to the design which resulted in a pretty wacky looking bird head… and I like it very much like it that way :).   The next painted instrument to finish will be the washtub bass which I’m painting a owl head on.
