Monsters Under My Bed.


Finished up a new small piece for a Bear&Bird Gallery "Monster's Under My Bed" group show. Over 200 works based on Childhood fears.

The piece I did is a “Landstrider” from a fantasy film directed by The Muppets co-creators Henson and Frank Oz. “Jim Henson has always been a huge inspiration to me,” Maxcy reveals. “He continually pushed the boundaries of creativity. But The Dark Crystal, one of his films from 1982, always creeped me out. It's pretty creepy when movies make creatures and puppets look realistic. This creature was called a Landstrider. Many of the characters in that film scared me when I was younger and to this day, I still have a hard time sitting through it.” - CityLink Magazine

Be sure to go to the show Oct 2nd @ Bear&Bird Gallery.

Gone Fishin'

Recently I was in Northern Florida. My buddy asked if I wanted to go fishing. I haven't gone fishing since I was about 15years old, but it sounded like a great idea! I dont like killing animals and I don't consider myself a redneck by any means, but waking-up at 9am to go out in some secluded wetlands was just amazing! No one around, just blue skies, fish, birds, dolphins, and other wildlife. It's nice to take a break from our busy lives for a minute.

We ended up catching four fish that day. I caught two spotted trout myself but let one go because he was too small & he told me he missed his mom.

"The End of the War"

Every now and then I get a new fun yet challenging commission. This one tops them all! A good friend of mine Matt Katsolis called me a month ago and commissioned an epic war painting. Basically an amazing idea that turned into more then anyone bargained for. Especially his wife, Jen.

This is the exact email I received for this piece:
"The mayor of sausage town at his podium speaking to his people in a jubilant manner declaring the end of the 26 year war against the pickle people. Yay peace in the land! Banners waving throughout. Copper (his dog) is the sausage president in a bad sausage costume."
Several emails later an entire event was planned around the surprise unveiling of this piece. Complete with sausage & pickle hor dourves'. the pictures speak for themselves...

The final piece, that will eventually become a 3 part series...

Family portrait.
