bit and run - originals! Now available!

bit and run - originals are now available in my store!

Hey everyone! I had so much fun doing "bit and run" last year; in many ways I got as much enjoyment out of exploring Nintendo in that manner as actually playing the games. I just thought how much fun it'd be do something again for GoNintendo. I decided to take some time and make something that people could actually have a part of rather than just look at online.

bit and run - originals is a collection of 50 Nintendo inspired original drawings. These are not prints, each is an original piece of art. Some of them are like portraits, other just simple moments, or little comics in and of themselves. The drawings are on Rives BFK, a very nice, heavy watercolor paper and are matted for a total size of 5" x 7" (the drawing measures 4 x 6 inches.)

Again, it's been too long since I got to draw and play in a world inspired by Nintendo and I guess this is the form my enthusiasm took this time. I hope you guys enjoy the result!

Just a reminder that bit and run - originals, a brand new set of 50 original drawings, will go up on my store March 4th, this Friday (well, late Thursday night, early Friday morning.)

If you like you can catch up on the two sets of "bit and run" comics I released last year.

Alice - teacups

I recently had several people ask me about the teacup sets from my Alice show. Originally I only made these available at my shows or conventions but after figuring out a way to ship them carefully I decided to put them on my shop.

I posted eight sets of cups and saucers this afternoon (with five remaining as of right now) so if you like take a look following the link below over to my shop and see if you don't need a cup and saucer upon which I drew some pictures.

Art Blocks

I had the privilege to be included in the incredible line up of artists donating work to Art Blocks for Ghana. They recently had the first of their shows in NYC.

Presented for your consideration is the invitation and some pictures of the event. To see more visit their site as well as Facebook page.

(And my piece is the top left corner square on the back of the card.)

(You can see my piece [alarmingly] right in the spotlight on the left, top row.)

Unfortunately for me I wasn't able to make it to the opening but nonetheless I'm very glad to have been among those asked to contribute.

Here are the stages of my piece.

These pictures are the highlights of the different stages, to see it all check out my collection of Art Block posts from November.

bit and run - originals

In my free time between other personal and client work I've been putting together this new project I'm calling bit and run - originals. They will be a collection of Nintendo inspired drawings. Some of them are like portraits, other just simple moments, or little comics in and of themselves. The drawings are on Rives BFK a very nice, heavy watercolor paper and will be matted 5" x 7" -- much like my "bit and run" drawing giveaway back in October.

All of the drawings will be $50 each and will be posted on my shop in time for next week, Friday March 4th (going up sometime late Thursday night / early Friday morning just like in the olden days with the "bit and run" comics.)

It's been too long since I got to draw and play in a world inspired by Nintendo and I guess this is the form my enthusiasm has taken this time. I hope you guys will enjoy the result!

I'll see you next Friday with bit and run - originals!

Here's my piece for the charity picture book project by the Tools for Schools Africa Foundation. My friend Mike Boldt is a co-organizer on the project and he's pulled together some pretty great stuff for this book.
