Although it doesn't tend to show, my favorite subjects to paint are animals with a fantasy or surreal spin to them.
Meet Mr. Jackalope, with non-traditional kudu horns instead of the usual pronghorn-style horns.

I painted this as a gift for a friend that made me the most INCREDIBLE hand-made sketch book. The thing feels like there is magic inside, like the contents are recipes for spells and magic potions. Tehee.

Yet another feather painting! This one was actually done to display in an art gallery, but it is now back safely in my home.

Painted on two peacock wing feathers that have been glued together, and painted on with acrylic paints.

I just adore dogs, I find that they enrich life. In fact, all pets enrich life.

These are a couple I painted for people, customs.
All were painted with acrylics, on white bristol.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! =D

I am also blown away. I am curious though, do you use like a glue to stiffen the feathers first or just paint on the feathers au natural?

I use a clear matte fixative spray before and after the painting. It helps to stiffen the feather up a bit, and just generally protects it.

Thank you everyone! I'm totally flattered that not, but two of my pieces were chosen for Best of 2012!

People seem to love the feathers, so here's another. Actually painted 4 today.

This was a custom, hence the name.

Painted on a real peacock wing feather, with acrylics!

These are GORGEOUS.

I just came back from a 3-week long vacay in Hawaii, wish I had seen this before I left! Love your colour combos, but even better, the pattern combos!

That's awesome! I love the design and the uniqueness to it!

I have a HUGE stash of leather scraps and I'm struggling with ideas with what to make with it all. I've made quite a few purses and bags for myself and my family, but its all the smaller pieces that need to be used up. I'll have to try something like this!
You've just inspired me!

Very interesting!

I immediately thought of the Hydnellum peckii fungus upon seeing the thumbnail. Also known as the Bleeding Tooth Fungus. The redness of the inside makes it look remarkably like that fungus.

I LOVE THESE.

Holy crap. I wish I was able to do this style, looks so much fun and just so freaking appealing. Amazing job!
