Art inspired by biology, created by a biologist
This is my beautiful fiance, Tamaryn’s pup (and soon mine too!), Bandit, AKA Bandyman. It’s an 8″x10″
(See Tamaryn as a a fairy in my artwork here)
Drawn with a mechanical drafting pencil.
Please note: I WILL DO PET PORTRAIT COMMISSIONS.
During my fiance’s last visit to Pittsburgh, I took a bunch of photo’s of her in a clover field. This image popped into my head and I just had to make it. Her photograph was inserted into a fully modeled 3D digital enviroment in Blender, with post-processing in GIMP.
I made two versions: one in vivid color and one with a more old-timey feel.
This is my design for a dragonfly hanging armoire. It is all hand-cut from poplar wood, hand-painted glass eyes, mesh wings for hanging earrings, 8 hooks for rings, 10 hooks for necklaces, and 5 troughs for studs and rings.
I also designed an owl jewelry holder, which is also available for purchase.
I recently designed this earring hanger for my fiance. It was all hand-carved wood (luckily I now have a jigsaw), the eyes were hand-painted glass, and the wings have mesh for hanging earrings, and the hanging trough is for studs and rings. There are 10 hooks for necklaces.
I have also designed a different owl jewelry holder/hanging armoire that is for sale and a dragonfly one that is sold.
One day I randomly decided to make my lady a couple pieces of jewelry out of wire and beads. I made two pendants. This was the first time I’d ever made anything out of wire.
