Woofmutt Stuff & Junk Like That...The Gallery (That sounds fancy!)

Panel (2002)
Wood and paint.

The first primitive thing I made. The point was to make it look like a piece from an old bar or restaurant.

Towel Holder (2002)
Wood and paint.

The second primitive I ever made. Again the intent was to make it look like an older piece.

Log Head (2002)
Wood.

Made from a piece of log I found on the street.

Tikitronic once started a thread of my stuff but a lot of the image links are dead in it. And also because of violation of signed agreements and reproduction rights there were legal issues and lawsuits, and a subsequent profile of me in Ornery Bastard Quarterly where I really came off lookin' like jerk. (Though the photos were very flattering.)

Or something like that.

Anyway, here's my NEW! thread. Deal with it.

Thanks to everyone who has posted images of Woofmutt Stuff & Junk Like That. If you own a piece of mine that's not in the above gallery I'd appreciate an image of it. Either send it to me or post it below. (I will also add it to the gallery so that people who just want to look at pictures/can't read don't have to bother with a lotta words.)

Thanks for starting a new thread. It's always frustrating when you want to look at art and all the pics links are dead. Your work is terrific.
I look forward to seeing more.

For the record: The lettering was a decal made by Stiki Tiki. I just did the rope work. (Those are special bondage knots taught to me by a wandering Canadian lass.)

I finally got around to grabbing some decent pics of an old piece. The Green Monkey was done for my friend Cookie's home "lounge" The Green Monkey Room.*****

These days I don't put fezzes on stuff and really really try to avoid using cigarettes because both are too easy a prop to reach for when making an image or object. Though it'd be amusing there'd be no real skill or challenge in putting a fez and a cigarette on a fire hydrant. (Maybe a little challenge with the cigarette...Where exactly is a fire hydrant's mouth?)

But these are just cartoon pop decorative pieces so why the hell should I even give a damn?

Good argument. I was obviously over thinking the issue. Fezzes and cigarettes for everyone!

I'm off to dress up the fire hydrant on the corner.

***** The lounge is named for some green ceramic monkeys I put in there. It has an upscale lowbrow tropical vibe. Tiki mugs live there.

In other not so news...
Here's some paper stuff I recently got scanned. These sorts of things I do while watching TV or while I should be doing other stuff. Some of it's half assed, some of it's pert near fully assed. The stuff here is some of the Tiki type stuff and others that could be wedged in at the edge of the tiki bar. I have a pile of other images over on the Facebook.

Some envelopes which I drawed on a couple years ago. (I like drawing big teeth tikis and get all giddy and light headed when I hear bitching about big teeth tikis.)

These were addressed and never sent for lack of something to put into them. (I think I'll fill 'em with potpourri and finally get them in the mail.)

A couple postcards which will soon sail for exotic mailboxes...

Speaking of things NOT Tiki, here's some skulls. Admittedly skulls are typical and easy and have been overdone since Year 1. But I've been drawing them since I was a kid because it's fun to draw skulls! These drawings are a year and a few more years old and are 8 1/2x11.
