Sharpie Doodles - January 2024

I always give myself a mental break and shut down my art making station from the end of December through January. I didn’t want to get too rusty during this time, so I broke out the Sharpies and did an occasional doodle to keep the creative juices flowing. It’s always super daunting to me to ink without a pencil sketch in place. You really have to commit to the line.

These are up now in my online shop and shipping in the US is included.

Entering the third dimension

Hey, what do we have here? New work on the horizon! I’ve been busy getting back into sculpting and resin casting and I’m pretty stoked to have a few new pieces releasing on Tuesday, July18th in the Kill Taupe online shop.

First, I’ll be releasing my first resin toy since 2014, the Mustachioed Bear! Each bear is hand painted and sits on a unique woodland base.

I’ve had a lot of fun mixing my pop art style with rustic elements lately and it’s a trend I want to explore more with my work in the future. I made that pretty rad cigar box piece for the Ferndale Pride benefit show last month and I’ve incorporated another type of box for my latest original sculpture “Taste Your Tears”. The piece features a trio of sculpted bear heads nestled among faux foliage inside a vintage Kraft Cheese box. This one of a kind piece hits the shop tomorrow!

“Last, but not least”, is something every cliché writer would say and it’s something I’m saying right now because I have one more thing to yammer about. It’s a new magnet. And it’s glittery. And there’s a skull involved. AND it comes in three colorways.

Sign of the Times Mini-Painting Series

The times, they are a changing. So many things to engage with on a daily basis! These bears are breaking out their sharpies and poster board to express themselves. Behold their inner thoughts!

This batch of 18 minis is a blind boxed series. That means you won’t know which bear you get until you unwrap it at home. Each mini is an edition of 1 and won’t appear in future batches.
