Description
Probably a logical extension of fooling with all these tiny pieces of clayboard--these are even tinier than the woodpecker and owl, being only 2 x 2 and 2 x 1, mounted on a 4 x 6 canvas. The canvas has a deep edge--2 inches itself--so the sides are painted in a continuation of the abstract pattern and the whole piece has a nifty depth as it sticks out from the wall.I'm pleased by where these are going...just have to keep following the trail of breadcrumbs until I get somewhere...
The original is SOLD. Prints are available through Red Wombat Studio at [link]

do you ever do any gallery showings? In an actual building, not on DA.

I've done one or two. They're hard to get for my style--too weird, too commercial, whatever--so not so many.

That's amazing! You have an incredible eye for textures and composition. May I ask what you used to mount the clayboard to the canvas?

It's Liquitex super heavy gel--good stuff for collages.

I love how this is composed, especially with the way the piece with the iguana is divided into thirds. The textures and colors are excellent.

Awesome! I love the energy in this piece! I just purchased some artboard that was on sale, myself. Here's to experimenting!
Great creativity you have, and I'm not surprized it sold..it's just too quirky and wonderful to not have gone so fast.

love those colors + how you mixed realism with a more... cartoony? style with the bold outlines.

Love it. As an iguana owner, it's very hard to capture their attitude in a photo or painting. Great job. The green pops against the red background, and the yellow compliments the lighter green tones in the skin.

That's really nice. I also like how the background lines up with the spines on the iguana. It gives it a good flow.

Very nice! I have an 8-year-old iguana, and he approves (I can tell because he opened one eye, and then shut it again *cough*). He's sleeping on his pillow right now...in his tree. He is one spoiled lizard!
Yeah, random. Anyways, love the colors.

This is really cool. In person I bet it's even more interesting because it sticks out of the wall.
