Hey! Hey! Hey!...

This is my piece for the Cartoon Madness 5: Lunchbox Show at the Alcove Gallery. Each artist was given a blank metal lunchbox and thermos to design, this was an opportunity I couldn't resist. I have a small metal lunchbox collection and have always been a huge fan of them. It was always a thrill every year around late August when all the new lunchboxes would show up in stores, such a tough decision which one would carry around my PB & J and Caprisun for the school year. Then around 1985 due to kids hitting each other with them (and plastic ones were much cheaper to produce) the reign of metal lunchbox ended, ironically enough with the super violent R-rated movie Rambo themed box being the last produced.

One theme that would pop on lunchboxes during the late 70's early 80's was ones based on TV sitcoms (I.E. The Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, Happy Days, etc...). One of my favorite shows growing up was "What's Happening!!" (which I own all 3 seasons on DVD), I always wanted a lunchbox based on the show but sadly one was never made, so this was a perfect opportunity to create my own...


The show opens tonight April 10 from 7 to 12 am and will be up til May 9th, if you live in the Atlanta area be sure to stop by. Check out the link for more info...www.alcovearts.com

Mini-taur Custom Qee for show at Rivet Gallery

In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a creature with the head of a bull on the body of a man. He dwelt at the center of the Cretan Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction. And now he's available in mini form...


This is my piece for the Toy2R 15th Anniversary Qee Show at Rivet Gallery in Columbus, OH. I never really did any toy customizing before so this was a bit of change for me then the usual digital pieces I do.

25% of the sale proceeds from these custom Baby Qee figures will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House. If your in the area the opening reception will take place on Saturday, April 3 from 7-10pm. Check out the link below to see all the cool pieces artists contributed...
