Over the past year I have (surprisingly!) had a growing interest in my “Remnants Of The American Frontier Series”. Considering the attention it has received, I have decided to create a website/blog that is completely dedicated to the development of my western art, and interacting with those specifically interested in this type of artwork.

I will now update all western art /related work on that site, so be sure to check it out! Thank you to all those who have expressed interest in my work, purchased prints, and took the time to chat with me about it!

The new website is now open with a total of 12 pieces of artwork to view, with prints available for sale in the web store!

Oh, still more updates and new projects coming to “createdbycdrichardson” soon*!

New Year, New Projects

Wow! Hard to believe it is already 2010. There have been some exciting things happening over the past month! I recently had an interview with “Cowboys and Indians Magazine”, Discussing my “Remnants of the American frontier” series. The article will appear in the April issue. 

I have yet to mention this before, but when I need to take a break from the visual side of art, I turn to the audio side. Over the past few years I have been working on somewhat of a  “music project”. I feel the tracks are nearing the first stage of completion and over the course of the year I am planning to add a “music” section to the blog.

Lastly, “The Painted Horse ”Another from the Remnants series. I think the second(ish) piece I did for the series.

This piece is is the sequel to “A Jawbone In Return”. It could be the prequel. I just don’t know. Same style as the Jawbone piece, Just with feathers. Expect to see a longhorn in the near future.

Hard to believe that it is already December! Here is another image from the “Remnants” series. I feel that this is one of the pieces that I really nailed the digital/traditional hybrid style that I had be trying to achieve. There was a lot of the printing/painting/scanning/printing/painting/scanning going on while creating this piece. I am rather happy with it.

Oh, I am currently researching canvas printing options, I should have a few pieces for sale soon! Anybody Intrested?

More dinosaur sketches…..

Ok. Another Piece for the “Remnants” collection. I have always thought this piece could work well as a poster or book cover. It just seems to have that kind of  feel about it.  It was not what I had originally planned to do either. This does happen from time to time.

Truly, an exquisite biological specimen that’s not completly biological. The use of found insect parts form an exoskeleton that hides its engineered insides. An alkaline powered amalgamation of functioning pocket watch componets, tar paper, and porcelian doll parts.

I am in the Halloween spirit indeed! Here is another one from “The Museum of the Mad…” One of my personal favorites from the series to be honest. Sir Gustav Von Cancertonus. He suffers from a mental disorder in which he feels he was born with inadequate lower limbs. He has disassociated feelings towards humans and feels closer alongside the crustacean family. He underwent an unorthodox procedure to correct his perceived shortcomings.

Well, this is an oldie but a goodie. Since it is so close to Halloween I figured I might as well post it!Stay tunned for a few more images from my previous series called, “The Museum of the Mad, The Macabre and The Marvelous”.

Well, I am still sketching dinosaurs it looks like. Considering that I title these posts “Dinosaur Field Studies”, I hope someday that I apply this “anatomical knowledge” to something productive!
