It's been a little while since I've done a true update. Life has been bananas, let me tell you. I am now, finally, sitting in my new studio (furnished, no less!). I am pretty excited and very thankful to have a space dedicated solely to making things. I'm also thankful to all the people that have been in my life this year, to those who helped make some crazy life moments feel not so crazy, and to all of you who like and support what I do! I will be posting more about what I'm currently working on (it's a surprise!) once it's a little farther along. For now, and to cap off 2011, I leave you with a portrait that I just finished of my grandma and grandpa, and a few of the Maxeville Promo shots (more to come eventually). The promo shots were taken by my lovely coworker John Lubinsky at Eclipse Studios, so thanks a bunch to John for these!</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n8a2dgNz2mg/Tv9NB8EvpUI/AAAAAAAAAdw/TK85W5YYW2c/s1600/GramGramps%2BPortraitweb.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 261px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n8a2dgNz2mg/Tv9NB8EvpUI/AAAAAAAAAdw/TK85W5YYW2c/s320/GramGramps%2BPortraitweb.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692353149720831298" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yA-PVu_9MMk/Tv9NBTK3QQI/AAAAAAAAAdo/Sowc57hHmtg/s1600/office%2Bcat_3034flat.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yA-PVu_9MMk/Tv9NBTK3QQI/AAAAAAAAAdo/Sowc57hHmtg/s320/office%2Bcat_3034flat.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692353138740642050" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kUuQWNgmdo4/Tv9NBAToKBI/AAAAAAAAAdc/t8Pr9gzJbjk/s1600/office%2Bcat_3043flattype.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kUuQWNgmdo4/Tv9NBAToKBI/AAAAAAAAAdc/t8Pr9gzJbjk/s320/office%2Bcat_3043flattype.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692353133677127698" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ceuqCSEBJ3k/Tv9NA4DF1AI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/o1uKQTehYQs/s1600/office%2Bcat_3075plusflat.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ceuqCSEBJ3k/Tv9NA4DF1AI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/o1uKQTehYQs/s320/office%2Bcat_3075plusflat.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692353131460285442" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000ee;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-flL_-Ps3CKw/Tv9J8N6wsHI/AAAAAAAAAbw/YxhHRhKeZO0/s1600/GramGramps%2BPortraitweb.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8903015612258854272-5592191443905966127?l=maxesmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maxehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759350064837997567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903015612258854272.post-15724894742015086162011-10-25T16:27:00.000-07:002011-10-25T16:36:40.639-07:00<div>Hello, folks!

Unfortunately, like most people, I work with some cat-lergic folks. My solution is Simon the Office Cat (modeled off of my very own grumpy feline). He can be irritable when he doesn't get his coffee, and he's not a Monday person, but hey, at least he doesn't shed.</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cxEY27LSrEI/TgkrfzYMPaI/AAAAAAAAAaI/nqdTMx18v8Y/s1600/IMG_8001sm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cxEY27LSrEI/TgkrfzYMPaI/AAAAAAAAAaI/nqdTMx18v8Y/s320/IMG_8001sm.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623073435116387746" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z2A971AFE8Y/TgkrfgNNo0I/AAAAAAAAAaA/QWbVEsd3PEM/s1600/IMG_8000sm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z2A971AFE8Y/TgkrfgNNo0I/AAAAAAAAAaA/QWbVEsd3PEM/s320/IMG_8000sm.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623073429970068290" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F57CYPRJKXY/TgkrfVquzgI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/T-2uL8wnWY4/s1600/IMG_7999sn.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F57CYPRJKXY/TgkrfVquzgI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/T-2uL8wnWY4/s320/IMG_7999sn.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623073427141086722" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8903015612258854272-3202792483796068107?l=maxesmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maxehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759350064837997567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903015612258854272.post-25848531934585245072011-06-27T17:55:00.000-07:002011-06-27T18:06:49.159-07:00<div><div style="text-align: center; ">Here is the finished look for our good friend, Ramsey!

That's right-Multiple Alternative Realities Convention. It was the Columbusian nerd paradise. Yeah...I'm not going to deny that I had to stop by the Starbase booth and oogle the Doctor Who toys (don't judge me!) Anyway, it was a fun time. I got to hang out with my pal, Laura from <a href="http://rivetgallery.blogspot.com/">Rivet Gallery</a> and be around toys all day, and what's better than that? Here are some shots of our set up for those of you who missed it.</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XR-NKk1YuBw/TfGCSeN7d7I/AAAAAAAAAYg/UyrezR8JiyY/s1600/IMG_8037.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XR-NKk1YuBw/TfGCSeN7d7I/AAAAAAAAAYg/UyrezR8JiyY/s320/IMG_8037.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616413464168462258" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p5Ck_LDf6DM/TfGBzXCQ5HI/AAAAAAAAAYY/2s3yvMVYBOY/s1600/IMG_8027.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p5Ck_LDf6DM/TfGBzXCQ5HI/AAAAAAAAAYY/2s3yvMVYBOY/s320/IMG_8027.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616412929664541810" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F6MXgsdhS5Y/TfGByzGPY-I/AAAAAAAAAYQ/aJ7-wKP0vAc/s1600/IMG_8026.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F6MXgsdhS5Y/TfGByzGPY-I/AAAAAAAAAYQ/aJ7-wKP0vAc/s320/IMG_8026.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616412920017544162" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zFKqoPfIohk/TfGBybMyhvI/AAAAAAAAAYI/m8L3T5dM8l0/s1600/IMG_8022.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zFKqoPfIohk/TfGBybMyhvI/AAAAAAAAAYI/m8L3T5dM8l0/s320/IMG_8022.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616412913602561778" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yvnvoEGVtsQ/TfGBx11BgVI/AAAAAAAAAYA/elCPTF_olig/s1600/IMG_8020.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yvnvoEGVtsQ/TfGBx11BgVI/AAAAAAAAAYA/elCPTF_olig/s320/IMG_8020.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616412903570768210" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SLzaywPdOg0/TfGBxnGblMI/AAAAAAAAAX4/inB3qfFEOkc/s1600/IMG_8016.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SLzaywPdOg0/TfGBxnGblMI/AAAAAAAAAX4/inB3qfFEOkc/s1600/IMG_8016.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SLzaywPdOg0/TfGBxnGblMI/AAAAAAAAAX4/inB3qfFEOkc/s320/IMG_8016.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616412899617248450" /></a><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8903015612258854272-7094987813050649840?l=maxesmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maxehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759350064837997567noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903015612258854272.post-88276055271461255182011-05-14T11:37:00.001-07:002011-05-14T11:42:05.229-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">FINALLY!

These are his debut glamour shots, so be kind (he's shy). Eventually he will have his cape too, but right now it's at the cleaners. In other news, the new <a href="http://www.maxesmith.com/">website</a> is in the works! Thanks to the coding help of m'dear friend <a href="http://www.johnolsondesign.com/index.html">John Olson</a>, the new site will be up and running here in the next few weeks! This is basically how the site will look, but things need to be resized and tweaked and such. Anyway, hope you guys like it!</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HvEOxTjcbdI/TccsJCtzttI/AAAAAAAAAWk/LgvbY8lnl-s/s1600/IMG_7919sm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HvEOxTjcbdI/TccsJCtzttI/AAAAAAAAAWk/LgvbY8lnl-s/s320/IMG_7919sm.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604496795145320146" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xjWMjYGMRnQ/TccsI5-zzLI/AAAAAAAAAWc/Wzn9p1bBTGE/s1600/IMG_7914sm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xjWMjYGMRnQ/TccsI5-zzLI/AAAAAAAAAWc/Wzn9p1bBTGE/s320/IMG_7914sm.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604496792800709810" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xjWMjYGMRnQ/TccsI5-zzLI/AAAAAAAAAWc/Wzn9p1bBTGE/s1600/IMG_7914sm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vMLW4GHjmn4/TccsIlLnfFI/AAAAAAAAAWU/KD4shA519To/s1600/IMG_7916sm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vMLW4GHjmn4/TccsIlLnfFI/AAAAAAAAAWU/KD4shA519To/s320/IMG_7916sm.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604496787217284178" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vdSVP585iDE/TccsIY7BTpI/AAAAAAAAAWM/0S8enLGo_fA/s1600/IMG_7920sm.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vdSVP585iDE/TccsIY7BTpI/AAAAAAAAAWM/0S8enLGo_fA/s320/IMG_7920sm.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604496783926447762" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zo4QP1NQ-1M/TccsH1ydIiI/AAAAAAAAAWE/POZtbglqVBg/s1600/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-05-08%2Bat%2B7.47.15%2BPM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 261px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Zo4QP1NQ-1M/TccsH1ydIiI/AAAAAAAAAWE/POZtbglqVBg/s320/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-05-08%2Bat%2B7.47.15%2BPM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604496774495281698" /></a><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8903015612258854272-6936187378801470832?l=maxesmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Maxehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00759350064837997567noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903015612258854272.post-10886674491737332842011-04-23T14:21:00.000-07:002011-05-14T04:52:30.646-07:00<div style="text-align: center;">Here are some shots from the art sale last weekend. Once again, thanks to everyone who came out to support Maxeville! It's much appreciated, and has encouraged me to get the web store updated with some new stuff, but first the website is getting a complete overhaul (so it may take a while)! As of right now, the basic design of the site has been finished, so now the "fun" part of making it web ready can begin.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;

I haven't been on blogger in quite sometime...due to forgetting my username and password. No matter though, because I have triumphantly figured them out! That, and I've been busy. In any case, I'm going to be playing a bit of catch up, and featuring some highlights of toys and perhaps some art made in the recent past (maybe some that are not so recent as well). I'll be starting with the oldest and ending with the newest. Hope you enjoy!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">I'll start now with my book that you can find on Lulu.com called Creevils!: From A to Zed</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">This is an ABC book featuring some of my little monsters called Creevils (which stands for cute, round, and somewhat evil (or often mistaken as evil-whichever you like).
