Love that Creature Mike! But why on Earth would you NOT want to paint the Creature again?! He's so cool-looking!

[Scatter]

Mike, is that a commission?? Very cool Creech!

[Illoman]

Yes, Scatter a member of the UMA now owns it. Moonshadow, the Creech is an absolute pain in the arse to paint, due to all the details. I like to get everything "right" when I do a character portrait, and he has too much "everything". 

[Cuts R Us]

Thanks Cuts! Your work makes me cringe thinking of all those sharp points!;)  Have you ever done anything like a mirror ball?

Ink, we've never done a mirror ball, but we've done a mirror bust. A piece we made for the Keep-a-Breast organization using mirror and black glass applied to a body cast. We added motors so the tassels spin when the belly button is pressed:

Must be  very gratifying to know your work is going to hang as a focal point in some MonsterKid's collection. Personally, I still covet the Red Drac you painted.

Maybe if you didn't paint the Creature so well, people wouldn't ask you to do one.   

I don't believe that UMA member owns it quite yet, but I personally know he is looking forward to receiving it.

One of my latest. Portrait of Sara Karloff. This is a slightly earlier version than the final one. I beg the owner's indulgence. 16"x20" oils on canvas board.

My other latest. Portrait of Ray Harryhausen, 16"x20" oils on canvas board.

You are so wonderfully talented, Illoman! I am always so warmed by the beauty of your work. As soon as I can get my world in order, I am hoping to take you up on your artist special before it is too late and you are too busy!    I have to get my priorities lined up and set aside a place of honor for one of your paintings, sir.
