Pop Art & Vinyl Records

I haven't updated in a long time because I have been very busy. Doing what, you ask? Trying to make money, of course! I've been selling off my record collection on e-bay and just recently I opened up a store and decided to also start selling some of my original pop art paintings. They've been going pretty well, so I've been busy painting more. Here's a sample of my work:





















My store is called Cheshire Cat Records. I wanted to just call it The Cheshire Cat, but that was already taken. Like the Rolling Stones told me, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need."

Some of the paintings shown here have already been sold, some are currently up for sale. I'm still painting and putting up at least one a day (for right now) so be sure to check back. I do a lot of Marilyn Monroe portraits, as those seem to sell the fastest and right now I've been getting into the spirit of Halloween by painting Edward Scissorhands, Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, etc etc. Hopefully it won't be so long before I update again, and hopefully you'll like what you see here and buy some of my art.

Fake Plastic Girl

I was stumbling through the internet the other night when I came upon MorphThing. After getting bored with their selection, I uploaded a picture of a Barbie head. I was so creeped out by how I looked as a Barbie, that I decided to see what some celebrities would look like properly immortalized in plastic.* I will now share these with you.




*I realize that several of these people have been made into dolls before, but I also realize that those dolls are usually really crappy and never resemble the person they are supposed to.
