I promised that I would share the doll that sparked a mass commission fest for me. I did it as a gift because my friend Evan is a great small business owner, loves what he does and inspired me to take my love of art and work toward opening a brick and mortar store in Vancouver. While life has me tied down right now, I'm in the serious planning stages for this venture. Anyway, Evan is a great guy and has been commissioning me like crazy. I can't complain!
So here he is:
 |
| I don't have any photos of his rough sketches, but here's his final body part layout before I started painting. |
 |
| Painted and cut and ready to be assembled! |
 |
| Paper chosen, body assembled and doggies applied! |
 |
| Final. |
 |
| Another angle before they go in a frame. |
 |
| Here he is with his pups in their frame. |
We (I say "we" in the sense of my fiance and I) are attempting to make shadowboxes by hand for this next commission I'm working on. I think making them ourselves is a great way to keep everything handmade and lets us work together. He's excited about working with his hands, which then makes me more excited to work. I love partnerships!
