This little guy is a commissioned 3-inch Dunny (actually more like 2.75 inches in real measurement). I was lucky enough to have a free brief, so I made several different sketches & the client chose this concept. The text on his back is from an old dictionary, & includes the chemical formula for synthetic ultramarine. The little trident is made of polymer clay and a “stick” jewelry finding I picked up at the flea market. I rolled gold leaf onto the green polymer clay before cutting the fork, & painted the back of the brass handle with diluted green paint so that the metal resisted it a bit. I thought it was quite interesting how similar the two textures turned out in the end. That’s why I love Nature’s chaos!

Vegetotem (Detail of larger painting)
Yet another detail from Dreaming. The entire painting is 30″ x 24″; this part is about 6″ x 3″. You can see more tidbits from the painting here. I’ll be putting prints of the whole thing up in my Etsy shop soon. :-)
In case you were wondering, SPX was fantastic. It was my first con & I had no idea what a tumult of sensory overload it would be! So many amazing people, such a high concentration of creativity! It was a little dizzy-making at times, but a great experience overall. I’d definitely recommend a visit if you ever have the chance.
Fresh Peas (Detail of larger painting)
Another snippet from the aforementioned painting; you can see a bit more on my new Flickr profile banner. (And Oddments followers may remember their digital genesis as The Triplets of Peaville.)
Acrylic on scanned maps on canvas. Total size 30″ x 24″; size of detail, ~8″ x 10.5″
Dreaming (Detail of larger painting)
This is another detail from the same painting as my previous post. Hybrids have always been an obsession of mine, especially zoophytes & even zoorobotanical specimens!
PoppyCock Custom Dunny: Acrylic, text collage & found objects on vinyl toy
This is an older piece but new to this site– it’s a custom Dunny I did a few years back. I’m about to do another commission so I was thinking of this one & figured I’d share it! {SOLD}
