A rainy day is an invitation to get your goof on

It was a downpour day and I didn't feel like getting into my larger paintings only to be slowed down by drying time so I worked on some smaller things inside the house. First I carved a funky face stamp then I started playing around with collaging the stamped image into ACEOs. On any other day I could have gone in an entirely different direction with this stamp - called it starchild or mystic dreamer. But I wasn't in that kind of mood today. Instead, I named him Dude.
And then I made this ACEO and listed it on Etsy. It's called Dude Says Yes and this is what I wrote in the listing. "Dude is a new handcarved stamp I made - he's a pretty cool dude. I'm working on a mini series of original ACEOs featuring the Dude stamp and in this one, he's agreeing with you. Which is a plus."

This next one is called Dude Just Looked Straight Into the Sun - Dude, you can't do that!

Dude's about to get into all kinds of situations. I'm thinking of possible themes such as:

Dude Just Stole Your Loafers (first typo was "Loathers" hmmm, wonder what my psyche was trying to tell me with that one?)
Dude Says Surf It Out
Dude Wants a Falafel
Dude Can't Catch a Break
