Swine Flu Pancake

Thanks for the kind words from the poesters at Poe-Red, which also hosts my longest-running fan forum.  Other forums can be found at Something Awful and ILXOR.

Minnesota Harpist & Vocalist Chris Ward Performs 'The Ash Grove' In Concert

Governor Tim Pawlenty Balancing A Pancake On His Nose

An oil portrait of Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty balancing a pancake on his nose.

One of four new Minnesota themed portraits.  The others are Thom Mischke, Wally The Beerman, and KSTP's Rookie. Previous Minnesota pancake portraits include multiple paintings of both Norm Coleman and Al Franken, as well as Jesse Ventura, Twins player Joe Mauer, and The Polichicks.   I once painted a portrait of Fantasy Gifts owner Colleen Bertino with a jackrabbit dildo on top of her head.

The four most recent paintings are currently up for auction on Ebay.

Art Poster Discontinuation, And PETA Collaboration

I'll be discontinuing my art poster offer as of Sunday, May the 3rd, which will be the last day you can order a poster of the Obama Victory Unicorn painting, which also comes with a hand drawn Faithmouse cartoon. Thanks to everyone who has purchased a poster in the past.

The following weekend, in collaboration with PETA, I'll be offering my first limited edition giclée print series. Peta will be showing this painting at their official protest at the Kentucky Derby and will link to the print on their blog. A portion of the proceeds of the print sales will go to this very worthwhile organization.

Update 5/25/2009

I changed my mind, and the posters are available again. As before, each poster includes an original Faithmouse cartoon. Please click on the sidelinks to order. Also, you can now order any previous painting or cartoon as a poster; just email me separately with the info on which specific image you'd like to order.

Shower Nude Beckie And Rio Rita Alaine

Fan and collector Beckie came up with a nifty idea for a nude portrait; do it wet! I first attempted to paint this on the opposite side of the glass but forgot that I use water-soluble oils.



Here's a blast from the past; an unfinished portrait from my studio years at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas. Former Rio Rita Alaine hunted me down online and after a search I unearthed this forgotten portrait. I'll post the completed version sometime during the next week.

Mickey Rourke Versus The Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Mickey Rourke Versus The Bevery Hills Chihuahua. The most recent painting in the Gawker suggestion series.

This is the revised image. Wrong dog, of course. I assumed the 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua' was the same dog in the Disney posters. Too late to make that change, but in apology to the original Gawker suggestioneer I've added pancake and taco headwear.

This was painted as a way of saying thanks to the folks at Knoxblab, who have had nice things to say about my work in the past. Thanks!

A Painting Of Chantal Sebire For Holy Saturday

A new painting of Chantal Sebire which is currently on auction at Ebay.

I painted this while I was sick, and the end result isn't exactly what I was trying for, but as a painting I imagine it isn't all that bad. The auction ends later today (Holy Saturday, 2009.) Right now the current bid is $1 dollar with eleven hours to go-

Obama Defuses The North Korean Rocket, Pre

Barack Obama with the help of his unicorn Penelope defuse the North Korean rocket, in progress. I'll attach a flashlight to the end of Penelope's horn to help Obama see as he pulls the wires out of the rocket.

I have this, the next Gawker painting, and one other item nearly completed. I've sort of been waiting to feel better to work (diverticulitis) but the pharmacy gave me the wrong presciption in the wrong amount, and to compensate my doctor gave me an additional week's double-dose of antibiotics which not only make me sick, but hallucinate. So, let's paint.

The good news is, I've lost enough weight to pull into the equivalent recommended weight range for my height. It's sweet to be healthy!

Thank You, Zazzle

Thanks to Zazzle for almost immediately pulling this item-

If you come across anything of mine for sale on a site outside of Ebay, not sold by me, buyer beware. Just to let you know.

On the flipside, I encourage anyone who would like to post my work to forums, blogs, etc. to do so. You may use my artwork as avatars, you can even Photoshop my work-

I'm grateful for the exposure and for the people who enjoy my paintings.

Just please don't say my artwork is yours and try to sell it. I know things are tight, but, you know...
