Mr. Chicken is now on t-shirts! :D

Yup, the chicken is spreading his wings!!! Right now is the "experiment" phase to see what kind of chicken merchandise people are interested in. (And also which images). Here are a few t-shirts I now have available via my etsy shop, mrchicken.etsy.com. I recently acquired more shirts with a wider variety of images, as well-- (Mona Lisa Chicken, The Scream, Blue Guitar Player, Vitruvian, etc...), but I still need to photograph them! I plan on doing a photoshoot this weekend if all goes according to plan, so those should be available soon as well! (they can currently be purchased in my studio). On a side note-- taking these pics was a blast!

Coming to a t-shirt near you!

The time has come-- Mr. Chicken is now on t-shirts! (courtesy of zazzle.com :) I am starting with a few images, but will definitely add more! I'm thinking baby onesies as well, and perhaps some doggie clothes!

Mr. Chicken Scores a Hole in One!!!!

So I've been breaking from format a bit as of late...(the past couple of months)...it started with the chicken collages incorporating photos and my chicken art....now I'm also collaging my "other art" with my chicken art! (and that's how this piece came about!)

Previously each chicken was part of a series, each being and artist's trading card with an accompanying story. This is the "A" series. I will continue to do that, but my wild and crazy brain is forcing me to expand beyond that! (Hence the collages, and soon to be other sized chicken paintings :) Just can't help myself! (I hope ya all enjoy the freakiness)! :D

Tyson Chicken!!!

It's not just what's for dinner :)...and it works on many levels...

Chicken in a Hot Pocket!!!

...but I don't wanna be in a hot pocket...

Mr. Chicken Goes to Disney Land!!!

Little does Mickey know, the Mouseketeers (cleverly disguised as lambs), were only the appetizer... Hannibal Chicken also has an insatiable hunger for all barn yard animals, including big-eared vermin in fanciful costumery...

RIP Cubby, Annette, and Mickey... :(

Mr. Chicken Watches NASCAR With The Two Coreys! :D

Mr. Chicken Paints Happy LIttle Trees...#14A

Upon discovering his newfound love of trees, Mr. Chicken decides to pay an homage. He therefore pulls out the paints, does his hair in the style of lush shrubbery, and airs a highly successful painting show which obtains a cult-like status...In the artful world of Mr. Chicken there are no accidents-- only happy little mistakes, excitable perms, and happy little trees. Paint tree Chicken san, wash brush..

Mr. Chicken is a Tree Huggin Hippie...#13A

After his recent aquisition of a bonzai tree, Mr. Chicken feels inspired to commune with nature. As a result, he decides to head to the nearest rainbow gathering, where he consumes mass quantities of granola, digs holes in which to deficate, and also does not bathe for over a week. In addition, he forms a special bond with a tree he now refers to as "Momma."

OK, This is Just FUNNY!!!!

Karate Chicken...#12A

Today Chicken-san travels back to 1984-- a special time in our nations history, featuring feathered bangs and spectacular bands like Bananarama...Here Chicken-san prepares to dethrone the testosterone driven Cobra Kai-- a quaint little group of martial artists with a fondness for pimple cream and showing no mercy. However, Chicken-san will not be squished like grape. Chicken-san is best around. BONZAI!!!!! (Paint fence Chicken-san...sand floor)....

Yuppers :) This is another artist's trading card, created using gouache on watercolor paper. Can ya tell I'm a child of the 80's? Go Ralph Macchio! :D

After a long and adventurous weekend, it is time for Mr. Chicken to take a nice warm bubble bath with his special friend-- Rubber Ducky!!! Not only he is cute, yellow, and chubby... he makes bath time lots of fun! WAK WAk!...

This is the latest in my Mr. Chicken series :) They are artist trading cards painted on watercolor paper using gouache. The last 2 were custom orders involving excessive amounts of drunken revelry-- fun stuff!!!! ... after all the good times I figured he might need a bath... And you know a bath would not be complete without a rubber ducky! :)

Vitruvian Chicken...#8A

After taking a wee sample of his magical time traveling elixir, Mr. Chicken finds himself in the the High Renaissance...Here he meets a curious fellow who insists on his close friends calling him "Leo," and can't help but notice Mr. Chicken's "ideal" proportions. After much cajoling and a few bottles of elderberry wine, Leo convinces Mr. Chicken to pose for his next drawing, which has now gone down in history as......Vitruvian Chicken....

Mr. Chicken Plays With His Beaker...#7A

Yes, it is true...I have been neglecting Mr. Chicken..:O...But no More!!! :)...Here is the latest in the adventures of Mr. Chicken :)....

After spending a day and a half in bed with the hangover from hell, Mr. Chicken is back in the game. To prevent such a God-awful plague in the future, he decides to get in touch with his inner Mr. Wizard, and concoct the perfect chemical cure for a hangover...Alas, he does not find it...He does however, come up with a magical elixir which allows him to travel back in time....

(I've had the next one #8A in my head for about 2 months-- I really need to get it down on paper soon :)...hint: he travels back to the 1500's...:)...(I think it's the 1500's anyway :)-- I'll have to check history to be sure!

And for the accomanying video-- it's in the science neighborhood :) I almost went with a Back to the Furture video-- but that's another Mr Chicken adventure! :) Ah, happy childhood memories-- another flick from the 80's I used to watch when I was a wee little thing! :)

Karaoke Chicken....

After a few hour of heavy drinking, Mr. Chicken is more than just mildly inebriated...He's completely bombed....So, he heads to the bathroom, pukes a few times...and then heads for the stage. Here he gives us his best Pat Benatar...which is in fact, very... very bad....yes, love is a battlefield people...love...is a battlefield...

"Karaoke Chicken" is an original gouache painting, created on 140 lb, cold pressed watercolor paper. It measures 2.5 by 3.5 inches making it an ACEO, (or artist's trading card). He is number 6A in the series :)

Stay tuned for more adventures in the life of....MR. CHICKEN!!!!!!

Mr. Chicken Has His Beer....

After narrowly escaping death from a chicken hungry shark, it is time for Mr. Chicken to unwind...He therefore decides to head down to the fanciful red light district, to his favorite saloon. Here he indulges in a wee bit of tastey suds, which he will most likely follow with Jagermeister, Irish Whiskey, Campari, and then perhaps some Absinthe....If we are lucky, it may be karaoke night.... :D

This is number 5A in my Mr. Chicken series! :D...Nothing like some after work drunken debauchery :D...stay tuned for more adventures in the life of Mr. Chicken..... :P

Mr. Chicken Goes Scuba Diving...

Today Mr. Chicken explores the seas of exotic Oregon, as some kind of..."Pirate ship"....has been roaming around the coast since about 1985....Rumor has it there is some loot that could save Mr. Chicken's little town....Wait, what's that there behind him....

This is #4A in my Mr. Chicken series....(there will be a "B" series.....the mysterious forces that be will enable this down the road... he he he!!!!!) This one in particular was inpired by partially by my love for The Goonies :) When I was in 3rd grade-- a VERY long time ago, I had this phase where I would watch that movie about 3 times per week....I remember once I rewound the entire movie by hand (held my finger on the rewind buttom) because I didn't know how to operate the VCR correctly :) It was worth it--nothing like The Truffle Shuffle on a Sunday afternoon... :P ...maybe Mr. Chicken should try the Truffle Shuffle.....

Frampton Chicken Comes Alive....

Tonight Mr. Chicken goes back in time, and works undercover as Pete Frampton...The mission is of utmost necessity, as he must defend the stage against a hostile infiltration of anti-Frampton chickens...

This is the latest installment in the life of Mr. Chicken :) I have so many more ideas for this-- wish there was more time in the day! ....I really wish I could figure out how to put music on this blog, so some Frampton Music would just start blaring when the page opens :)

Yes, Frampton is still alive :) he he he!!!!
