Inanimate Objects

Batgirl & Harley Quinn Painting

Several months ago I decided my studio was in need of some redecorating. This primarily involved the removal of several figures and shelves, as the sheer number of figures became overwhelming. (They’ve since been properly archived.) Of course, their removal left a large space on the walls. What I really (read more...)

Calendar 2013

It’s Year 4 of the Inanimate Objects calendar! This year’s is the most exciting yet, as I was fortunate enough to collaborate with some of the best Harley Quinn cosplayers in the observable universe: Tara Strand, Laura Magnusson, and DesiRee Preston. They’re all creative souls overflowing with talent. Thanks for (read more...)

Calendar 2012

In what has become an annual tradition (is three times a tradition yet?), I present the Inanimate Objects 2012 calendar! The 2012 edition features photos of some of my favorite customs. This one wasa lot of fun to make. If I can’t make customs for everyone, I hope some of (read more...)

Calendar 2011

Last year’s calendar was such a big hit, I felt obligated to continue what may turn into a tradition. The 2011 Calendar features art of the DC ladies as rendered by the mighty Bruce Timm! Please bear in mind that some of the source material for these images was less-than-stellar, (read more...)

Calendar 2010

I recently bound my entire DC animated comics collection as a series of hardcover books. (I recommend this to everyone!) Before doing so, I scanned in all the covers. The first big project I used the covers for was a 2010 calendar. Every year I seem to have a harder (read more...)

Black Canary Digital Art

As much as I enjoy a true painting, I’ve wanted to develop my vector-based drawing skills for some time. I figured I’d just dive right into the deep end of the pool and tackle Dinah’s crazy hair! The entire image was created in Illustrator. I did my best to capture (read more...)

Violist

Sometimes, you really have to go out of your way to impress a girl. Here at Inanimate Objects, that can be a long way out there, but it’s usually worth the effort. What you see here is another “real person” custom, this time of a professional musician in her concert (read more...)

Tonia & Cason

Boy meets girl. Boy makes custom figure of girl. Next thing boy knows, he’s getting married and making more custom figures of girl. The amazing finally happened. Cason and Tonia got hitched. To commemorate this astounding event, I knew no one but myself could make the figures for the cake. (read more...)

Richard & Chris

I was honored to be asked to create the cake topper figures of my friends Richard and Chris for their wedding last September. It was a delightful service on a gorgeous day at Fair Park in Dallas. One of the most pleasant weddings I’ve attended. Both figures are based on (read more...)

Richard (Zeus Comics)

Anyone who collects comics or toys in the Dallas area knows about Zeus Comics and Toys. I’ve been to comic shops around the globe, and Zeus is unlike any other. It’s clean, well lit, and generally has an upscale feel to it lacking in most other shops. Most importantly, the (read more...)
