.002 - Little More Crafty

Here is a little bit more of a crafty entry.  Hopefully more art stuff will be placed up soon.  I made many different types of things.  I crochet and knit, along with practically every style of art.  The only thing I can think of that I haven't done yet is metal work, and I'll soon have a class in the at school.  I love to try new things, so I'm sorry if that annoys you.  

I made these for my best friend.  They are fingerless gloves, it has a thumb hole on each glove to secure them in place along with 3 brass buttons on each glove.  They are my school colours.
  


My friend Trevor wanted a gray and dark red scarf for Christmas so I made this.  It came out exactly like what he wanted.  It is crocheted.


I also this month bought a few neck ties from the local Goodwill, I came up a Card/ID holder.  For just a few dollars this was a great craft.

.001 - 1st Commission & Monsters

 A few months back I was commissioned to paint a mailbox.  Within the past week they picked it up, making me $65 richer (excluding the $20 for supplies)  Both sides are exactly the same painted in acrylic paint.  (Each side includes a woodland cabin with a hammer and anvil in the front yard)  The main focus of the design was what the costumer ordered then modified to make a better composition.  This photo was taken before the sealer had been placed on. 


Early December I came across Stefan G. Bucher.  He is 35 years old based in California.  He is known for his "Daily Monsters" and other such ink drawings.  Many of his works can be found on YouTube.  Inspired by his work I created a series of my own monsters.  Here are just 2 of my 5 full drawings.  (I was not able to scan in the last 3 as of yet)
