Behold! The BIONIC WARS have begun!
An ode to my favorite show as a kid, The Six Million Dollar Man.
I have envisioned it here as if it were pitched in a Star Wars fashion.Researched on the web and painted in Photoshop, the piece contains elements of The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman combined in a Star Wars theme as a reminder of a time when giant movie pitches had not yet taken hold, the glorious 70's!

God bless E-Bay. It revolves around a Ronin and his adventures in 17/18 century(?) Europe. All kinds of great battles and characters and plenty of WereWolves!

A few more ceramic shots. The punch bowl is one of my favorites but painting the dancing figures on such an odd shape was a task. Its kind of the center piece for the "BONEZEE" collection. The "Love Is A .45" Platter was a fun one. It was actually shot 5 times with a .45 and did not shatter! At that point I figured might as well see if it could handle the kiln. Got lucky!
And of course, good Ol' EDDIE!!

For about 4 years I worked as head Painter for a ceramics Co. It was a fun laid back job and they were kind enough to let me produce my own work in their shop. Most of these pieces where done with underglaze on greenware, which is very fragile until the firing stage but allows for a more painterly style. Most of the pieces painted on are pre formed but a few are my own creations.

Well, I guess this is my first "BeeLog".
Had to find out just what the hell it was first before I actually "made" one. But ya gotta keep up with the times ya know?
Hopefully I can use this as a place to show off my Art and not whine about stuff. My Art, by the way, is not for the timid. At one point, when it was "cool", I even called it "In Your Face Art" ( I know, but I like quotations) just to get the point across. So, with that said, you probably shouldn't be looking if you are under 18, squeamish about Sex, Religion, and maybe a dash of violence now and then. I assure you tho, its all done in "Good" "clean" fun. So if its to your taste, then ENJOY!
