Hard To Be Vain

New painting of Nicki Kin [guitarist for Vains of Jenna]. It was a birthday gift for him. :)




It's 6x6", oil on steel.


The background is a steel plate that was heated to have iridescent tones of blue, pink, and orange. The colors are actual permanent changes in the metal. I love how it sparkles and glows when the light hits it at just the right angle.


Lots more metal paintings coming up!


You can find pictures past metal stuff here and here

Heavy Metal Picks



Heavy Metal Picks are hand crafted metal guitar pick necklaces. Each one starts out as plain copper or steel sheet, is formed into a pick, then goes through a heating process to create bright, iridescent colors. It's always a surprise to see how they turn out.


The Classic Picks feature just the colorful metal effects, but they can also be embellished with crystals, metal studs, or custom printed designs.
