Bob's Burgers

I had a creative block today... so I decided to draw Bob's Burger's, stumpy-fied!

Little Sly Cooper

Little Sly Cooper @ The Happy Camper Orphanage

I made this sculpt for Dev, years ago...  I finally got around to painting him!
He now sits in our planter in the kitchen.

DEAD
Paperclay, wire, cell paint and wood

I made a plush version of this guy a few years back... decided it would be fun to make in paperclay!
I coated him in matte varnish and hit the intestines and blood with a glossy varnish to make it look more JUICY!

Jacques the starfish

Otis the worm

These are two sculpts from our game Solitaire Blitz! I made them for my two friends (Jason: game designer genius and Jordan: animator extraordinaire)

stumpy skulls

These were a few test skulls. I tried to paint them to look like bone. I originally wanted to make them pendants/necklaces. But maybe magnets? Some friends suggested pins or hairclips! (great idea!)
What do you think?

"Privacy Please!"
Paperclay, acrylic paint, gravel and shrink plastic

This is another paper clay dude. He is about 2 inches tall.
I found some "gravel" for dioramas at a craft store - thought it would make perfect kitty litter!

Oh, and the book he is reading is "Success for Dummies".

Shitty Tings

"Shitty Tings"
4 1/4" (from top of the ear to the base)

This is one of my first Paperclay sculpts! I'm having fun with it.. so more to come!

Stumpytown Spice Labels!

Thank you to those who purchased my Stumpytown Spice Labels at the Emerald City Comic Con this year! I apologize (since I ran out of stock) but, I now have them back!
Available now, in my Etsy Shop. Thank you for waiting!

Me & Dev, Stumpyfied.

I made a stumpy of myself for my Stumpytown Facebook Page, so of course I had to make one of Dev! (complete with broken, scratched up glasses!)

For scale: I am slightly larger than my iPhone.

Stumpytown has a Facebook Page!

Hey Friends!
I finally created a Facebook page for Stumpytown.
Please stop by and visit sometime! I'd love the company.

Hey everybody!
I have a few new things on Etsy!
More to come.

I also wanted to say THANK YOU, to those of you who came to visit Stumpytown at this year's Emerald City Comic Con! It was a fantastic show and I can't wait until next year.  I sold out of my Spice labels, but am in the process of getting more ordered -I will posting those up on Etsy in a couple of weeks.

Andre The Giant on Velvet!

This is my contribution to LTD Gallery's current group show

Velvet Legends of Wrestling!

Andre the Giant
16" x 16"
Acrylic on velvet

Tonight is the Opening Night! I couldn't make it out (because of an unfortunate water heater disaster in the Madan household), but I've heard (and saw from friends pics) it was a packed house!

A BIG THANKS to Eliot Mechanism for curating and to James Monosmith for inviting us all into his fantastic Gallery. The show is up until Feb. 24th!!!

Velvet Legends of Wrestling Art show!

LTD. Art Gallery

Come join us, if you are in the area!

Alfred.

Our friends, Jordan and Lindsay, had the difficult task of saying goodbye to their dear 'son' Alfred last month. He was such a special dog... a gentle giant.  He will be missed.

...in memory of Alfred...

Chokadillo!

Our friend Rich (who is an insanely talented artist) commissioned me to make a plush artichoke and armadillo for Halle. I was so excited when I found the perfect suede velvet! 

I thought it would be funny if the little dude was hiding (as a surprise) inside the choke.

This is how it turned out - they call it Chokadillo!

Stumpy Votive Candles

I made these votives for my friend Amber - of her adorable cats Stella and Pepper. This was the first time working with water slide decals. I think they turned out ok!
