Commissioned Artwork

Paint-pouring pickguards isn't my only creative obsession. I also have an affinity for 2-dimensional woodwork - especially fine, detailed work that usually employs hand-tools to obtain results (although I'd really love a scroll-saw to help with this sometimes).

In October, 2020, I was commissioned to make a wall-art piece for someone who loves the New York Giants. After working with the client on a design, I set out to work. The piece started from raw wood, and progressed through sanding, painting (using paint-pour techniques, of course), and resin.

​Rough design - far from the finished piece!

​The top piece. Hand-cut to best deal with the fine work.

Second color on the football.

The main football.

Both pieces were paint-poured, even though the NY was solid-colored.

Finished top piece before painting the outer edges white and applying resin.

Finished piece. Not meant to be "perfect", but meant to be a one-of-a-kind work of art. The NY was actually mounted so it is raised from the football.
