Stencils!


In addition to painting traditional “portraits” of your favorite toys, I’ve recently been dabbling in hand-cutting and printing stencils. What a challenge! I feel like I’m using the exact opposite side of my brain than I normally use to make art, and it seems to be good for me. I started with my new favorite motif, the classic Fisher-Price record player. I love to paint the toy turntable in particular because it draws upon my love of vintage toys while giving a nod to my long side-career as a dj. After experimenting with printing my record player stencil with airbrush, acrylic paint, and spray paint, I’ve moved on to some Little People figures, starting with the King and Queen from the classic Fisher-Price castle playset. I’m pricing my stencil pieces extremely affordably and keeping my etsy shop stocked with them as much as possible — they are moving fast, much to my delight! You can get directly to the stencil section of my shop here. I’d love to hear your ideas for future stencil projects!






Bowling Pin Pig

pigctp 8″x10″ acrylic, 2009. This pig is from our AMERICAN baby bowling set, the one with recognizable animals. I was discussing the wackiness of our Australian set with my sister today, and she figured that it was constructed by Indonesian child sweat-shops working with whatever random fabrics were available (hence red and blue monkey-type animal, and something that might be a blue rhino). Or, we’re boring.
