Hey there sports fans, Al here with the latest;

Blue the Bulldog. 16”x20” scratchboard 2023. Alan Bennett

It’s been a little while since I had a chance to post a blog, but I’ve also been working on Photos as well as selling retail shirts a couple of times a week, which is been a really fun time, currently, I have a "Love Machine" print that I need to get printed for a person who had wanted to get the original before the show it was supposed to premiere in.  I’m gonna be talking to Brian in pearl printing next week, specifically this Monday morning, and see if I can also get a set up for a couple of other prints to be made as well. Blue the Bulldog T-shirt and the sticker seem to be selling well but I’m not sure how well a Blue the Bulldog print will work. I’m gonna hold off on that one for right now, my piece of artwork for my friend, Lynnie Peterson called "Equal Opportunity" with Sadie Starkiss, being the hero of the peace instead of being the hapless heroine that she’s been depicted as a while will come to pass. But now leaves me with a quandary. How do I make her more of an action-oriented heroine, along with Heavy Metal any of the other characters? I did throw in a spot as an ode to Johnny Vega with the symbol on her belt, so she may be part of that particular universe to some degree.

But I’ve been having fun working on the commissions, and we have some more commissions, but as it always turns out commissions are a one-time kind of thing lots of people talk about them, but only ever if you ever pay for them. It’s also a problem that I ran into. Is that all run and do an actual image before the people pay for them I’m very just get very excited about working on a new piece of artwork for somebody, but then they always fail as far as payments go. It’s something I need to get a hold of the pieces are good but not regularly in my wheelhouse but we’ll see I’ll just continue to keep working on my space pieces, my heroes, my villains, my robots, and keep cranking piece after piece after piece but I’ll tell you this, though, every single one of them is gonna be fun and.

The Last Month of the Year

Hey there, sports fans. Al here with the latest;

Well, it’s October (Now December) or at least late October, now getting close to the month of the end of October and Halloween—my favorite time of the year. There is nothing wrong with November mind you.

Also, I should mention that prints have been made and now not only but also T-shirts as well! UPDATE: AND on top of the prints and t-shirts, I have been working on a smaller idea with stickers! Just a fun little way to get things out there.

“Juice Box” T-shirt design.

I’ve been putting together swag bags for some people who bought products from me. It’s a great time, and hopefully, I’ll be able to get my investment back as quickly as possible.

Not to bore you with the absolutes of business, but returns are always an excellent little supplement when you’re putting a lot of money out to make yourself look good.

Anyway, I’m looking to see if I can add another option to the website for clothing and other materials to be bought, so hopefully, I can be able to actually start supplementing my artwork a little bit better than just standard commissions.

As far as commissions are concerned, I have two more in the works. I have one that I just started, another enterprise piece, and after that, I have another solo piece that’ll be mentioned later on. It’s going to be a unique-looking piece. I can say this much.

So there you go.

And this kid is out of here.
