Progress pictures and finished product for a clock I made for a local comic book convention coming to Minneapolis in October. We got a table for Fallcon 2013 at the State Fair Grounds which means that it’s time to make some comic book themed stuff. First up is an idea I had for a Dick Grayson clock.
Before I was going to just have their faces like this (Robin and Nightwing) with like a dark edge, then I thought, “Hmmmmm… let’s be a bit more tragic.” So I painted the clock edge colorful, like the circus. Then I added “Flying Graysons” to the glass. At first it was completely filled in, but I wanted to fix the yellow so it was more even, so I started to wipe it off to try again after doing the red outline.
And then… this happened because I didn’t scrub hard enough with the glass cleaner.
I was going to keep wiping until it came off then my wifey was like, “No. Keep it like that.”
So I did.
And ta da, you have yourself an angsty Dick Grayson clock ^^
More craft progress can be found on our store Facebook. You can request commissions or make purchases on our Etsy.
So this is in the art show at CONvergence. My partner went yesterday to drop my stuff off :) The only thing not pictured (because she didn’t get a chance to take the picture since she had to get back to work) is a TMNT clock and a Wonder Woman clock. If you’re at the con this weekend, check out the table! There’s also business cards since I take custom orders and stuff. I have to say I really like the art show set up at CONvergence, it’s nice and spiffy looking.
Enjoy the con, everyone! I’ll be there on Sunday to pick up whatever doesn’t sell, most likely I’ll be in costume because I’m a geek like that :)
So I finished a Young Justice woodburned coaster set this evening :) The main cast from the first season. This set will be at this year’s Anime Detour in a month. It’s convention crunch time, so I’m woodburning things like crazy!
Of course, I do take commissions as well, so feel free to send me a note or check out my Etsy store.
Justice League: Doom
The voice of reason so often comes from the crazy ones
This part, just, they’re in the middle of a crisis and… I love the animated DC movies, because the humor comes when you least expect it :)
Finished just in time for our local comic book convention. Two of my favorite ladies in the Batman universe: Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. The side of the glass is painted with Ivy’s leaves, while the outside of the clock is painted like Harley’s outfit.
I had a lot of fun making this one. I don’t usually make things for a comic book convention (this is the first one I’ve had a table at), so I’m having a lot of fun with these. My dad is huge into comic books and I grew up in a house with lots of comics, so making this stuff is giving me this awesome feeling of nostalgia.
