I know I’ve been quiet as of late but I’ve been working on a bunch of projects that have been keeping me pretty busy. One of them was to completely re do my website! And here it is!

OK HERE’S THE DEAL! I will do a painted portrait commission of a single character of whoever you want and you can pay whatever you want. Yes, that’s right. You decide what you think one of these amazingly amazing paintings are worth! But I’m only going to do five for the time being. So if you want one, email me at travaleATgmailDOTcom

The paintings will be roughly 4×6 inches, acryla gouache on birch panels and you will get a high res scan of your commission. If you would like to buy the physical painting once it’s finished we can work out shipping costs from Canada to wherever you are and you can send another payment. All payments must be made through paypal and the initial payment for the commission must be paid in full upfront. Feel free to email me if you have any questions! Yeah!

Wanted to hold another contest for a while now to say thanks to everyone for following my blog/tumblr/twitter/etc! I really appreciate the feedback from you all. I promise to continue making things and I hope that you will keep looking at them!

So here’s the deal for this contest: You can enter by leaving a comment on this blog post or liking this post on my tumblr. Make sure I can get in contact with you if you win via email! Contest open to everyone anywhere in the world but one entry per person please! Pretty easy, right? You can enter till Wednesday June 6 12:01 am E.S.T. Then I’ll hold a random draw to select the winner.

What the winner gets: A custom puppet of your choosing that I will make and mail to you! It can be an original character of your own, a celebrity, a character from a tv show, whatever you want! I’ll put my own creative spin on it and make it just for you. You just have to be able to supply me with some reference for me to base the puppet off of.

I think that’s it! Good luck to everyone!

Slashfilm posted up a sneak peek of the upcoming ‘Six Seasons And A Movie’ happening towards the end of next month and it included my piece for the show, “His name was Alex”. So I figured it was safe to share some photos of it! Hope you guys like it!

The actor who plays Starburns, Dino Stamatopoulos has been involved in quite a few stop motion projects such as Moral Orel and Frankenhole, wrote Community’s stop motion episode, and co founded a stop mo studio, Starburns Industries! So I thought it would be fitting to immortalize his character in puppet form. Had a lot of fun making this!

The show runs June 23-24 presented by PixelDrip Gallery at Monk Space in L.A. Check out more info here! It’s going to be an amazing show, hope you can make it out!

Now that tcaf is done and summer break is officially here I’ve had time to finish this collaboration I’ve been working on with my pal m.harris! She designed this plague doctor and sent me the model sheets (which you can see on her tumblr!) and then I attempted to make it into a puppet! Overall I am super proud of the work I did on this guy. I feel like I learned a ton and am really excited to try some new things on my next one!

Edit to add some of the work in progress photos I took along the way!
