I painted a caricature of my wife on the cast as the educator (she wasn’t the castee.) You can read more about the painting of this cast here. The KAB team is full of awesome people who will tell you all about breast cancer prevention and much more. Please be sure to tell them I sent you!

     

  • Keep A Breast Cast #6- “Art” Frida Kahlo

    I painted my 6th and final cast for Keep A Breast’s Mantra Series this weekend at The Woodbury Fall Arts Fest (The FAF). My wife and I had a booth at The FAF where we sold my original drawings, prints of my illustrations, Erin’s jewelry & vintage goods, and Keep A Breast’s famous ‘I <3 Boobies’ bracelets and stickers! We let people vote on The FAF’s Facebook page for the subject of this ART themed cast and Frida Kahlo appropriately won. Frida is, after all, a major inspiration of the fonder of KAB, Shaney Jo! The cast was raffled off at the end of the fest to Tara Wood of Collingswood, NJ.

  • Keep A Breast Cast #1- Dumb & Dumber

    The first cast I did for Keep A Breast took me a while to come up with the right theme. I originally wanted to paint something deep or meaningful, but nothing inspired me. I was going to paint dinosaurs all over it as I love painting dinosaurs, but that still didn’t seem right to me. So then I concluded that it has to be a caricature or caricatures since that is really what I enjoy doing the most. My brain storm was “two boobs” and then one of my favorite movies came to mind, Dumb & Dumber. Which is so fitting now because Keep A Breast decided instead of auctioning it off to take the Dumb & Dumber cast with them on tour in their Traveling Education Booth!  I like to make the connection of the end of the movie when Harry and Lloyd turn down the opportunity to join the Hawaiian Tropic Bus that is traveling across the country. That cast has been all over the country now and I am so proud of it. I know my Aunt Pat and stepfather, Terry would really get a laugh out of this cast as well!

  • Keep A Breast Cast #2- “Check Yourself” Katy Perry

    This cast was for Keep A Breast’s “Check Yourself” cards they hand out that explain the proper methods of screening oneself for signs of breast cancer. My original sketches for the cast were just a made-up female figure in the poses on the card, but again- I wanted to do a caricature. I instantly thought of Katy Perry for two reasons- 1) because she was the most famous person I know of that had a cast made by Keep A Breast and 2) well, her cupcakes. Her cupcake bra is so iconic and I thought it would be a great way to imply breasts without having to show them. Plus most people could recognize her from the caricature and possibly relate to it better. The video “California Gurls” has so many great visuals that inspired me to go with the whole Candyland theme. It was a fun cast to paint and took a lot of time!

  • Keep A Breast Cast #3- “Education” Erin

    My third cast had the theme of “Education” to go with Keep A Breast’s mantra: Art. Education. Awareness. Action. Erica gave me a few key words to work with, all classic school-related ideas. I used my wife as the model for the teacher on this one. She was the perfect subject for the part as she fancies anything school-related and she’s the smartest person I know! She is a constant inspiration to me, she even inspired me to put “5318008″ on the calculator… spelling out “BOOBIES” upside-down.

  • Keep A Breast Cast #4- “Awareness” Werewolf (Claudia Miranda)

    My fourth cast for Keep A Breast’s mantra series: Art. Education. Awareness. Action. The theme for this cast is AWARENESS. A staffer at Keep A Breast gave me the clever idea of painting a werewolf to “Be Aware” of signs of breast cancer. This cast is the first from a Keep A Breast charity event. At the event Keep A Breast Traveling Education Booth was onsite with some limited cause merchandise available. This event was quite special because they did a LIVE CASTING with two of San Diego’s finest ladies, Claudia Miranda and Christie Burns. This ACTION cast is of Claudia.
