Hi Rik,
I first saw one of your smash cans at the ATL FolkFest back in 05. and went nuts, loved the detail, the layering, the humor and hidden little treasures. I was too broke to buy one, and have kicked myself ever since.

Any chance you will have any on etsy or e-bay soon?

Or can paint on a redi-whip can I found crushed like a pancake a couple years back?

Thanks, Nancy

Hi Rik,

Great piece indeed. But the colorscheme is a bit too dark. I mean, the text is too hard to read (at least to my eyes).

I miss your old design, but that’s typical emotions when a talented designer redesigns his sites. :(
Moving forward, I’m impressed again. Nice work.

I do have the same struggle. It becomes difficult to not let your style that you developed become mechanical and almost “easy.” Always a struggle and a good challenge to keep the work emotional and personal.

I know what you are talking about. I’ve been painting for a while and I had become bored with all my subject matter. I recently changed everything up completely to a lighter more fun style. I’ve been doing fun little characters with bright colors and they have been a joy to paint.

The problem though is I lose interest quickly. one of my characters (http://ryanallen.info/art/meep1.jpg) became popular and every piece of him sells right away. I still have about 15 people wanting to buy more pieces with him in it but I’m hesitant to make more. I’ve kind of moved on to other little characters. I should paint what the people want to buy but it just doesn’t work that way.
