My latest painting in my Deep Sky series. Oil on stretched canvas, 18x24. It’s a prequel to the previous retro Mars astronaut painting. I thought I was finished a couple weeks ago, but kept adding elements because it helped tell the story. Initially it was just going to be a gloved hand reaching to the ledge or up to the sky, but it needed more. I added the top of the helmet, then the other hand gripping the edge while continuing to tweak the rest of the painting. The concept pieces take me longer because even if I have a plan, the seem to evolve and take on a life of their own. 🤘💀 .

My painting of Chief Brody. Oil on stretched canvas, 20x16. Just in time for the beaches to be open on the 4th of July. Hope everyone has a great day! This one will complete the set for someone that owns three of my other Jaws paintings.

16/06/2024

My painting of a Predator. 36x24 oil on stretched canvas. Because of the Xenomorph paintings I get a lot of requests for the Predator, so here you go! These are equally as challenging as the Xenomorph. Lots of little details to make me crazy but it was fun and good to get back to painting. Let me know what you think.

06/06/2024

My drawing of The Crow. 11x14 white charcoal on black paper. Done just in time for this weekend. Should I do this as a larger painting?

03/06/2024

Painting sneak peek! A crop of a current work in progress. 36x24 oil on canvas. I usually don’t post a lot of unfinished work, but I’ve been bad about posting regularly. Plus, my chosen medium is not the fastest and makes it easy for me to be lazy about it. But like I’ve said in the past, you at least don’t have to worry about getting spammed from my channel. Stay tuned for an update on this in a couple weeks or so.

27/05/2024

Thank you and a ridiculously HUGE thank you to all the amazing people that came out to support me at this event. I’m humbled by the people that come out every year and buy my art at this event. I didn’t take enough pictures, but the long-time friends and new members to Team Shenanigans are appreciated more than you know. Thanks to you, I have no choice but to create more paintings. Lol. 🤘

19/05/2024

My latest drawing of Elvira Mistress of the Dark. 11x14 black paper with white charcoal pencil. It’s been a while since I’ve posted any new art, so I wanted to do something fun to get back in the groove. More paintings to come, stay tuned. Hope you enjoy!

07/04/2024

I’ve not been posting much lately. So here’s a post of me in my booth until I get some new art finished that I can share. The good news is you will never get spammed from my feed. Lol.

02/03/2024

My booth at Coastal Comic Con in Wilmington. North Carolina is so hot, they had to put an extra fire extinguisher out in front of it. Come on out if you get a chance, it’s gonna be a good time!

13/02/2024

My painting of Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolf Man - 16x20 oil on canvas. This was the last painting to get finished before Mad Monster Party this weekend in Concord, NC. It is the third painting in the more expressive style for the Universal Monsters. They have a whole different vibe in person.

05/02/2024

My newest painting in the Deep Sky series. 36x24 oil on canvas. This on was fun to incorporate the hands (swipe to see my reference models). I’m also too picky to just randomly splatter stars, so I had to break out the tiny brushes 🤪. Hope you’re enjoying this series, because there’s more in the works. 🤘💀

New painting staying with the looser more stylized technique. Had to do a Monster to go with the bride. These are fun way to mix things up for me. It also exercises different art muscles. 🤘💀

27/01/2024

New painting. Experimenting with techniques. Thoughts? This is a little looser and more stylized than the usual work I do (excuse the glare). No grid, no pencil sketch, just dive in and start working. The Bride - oil on canvas 20x16.

17/01/2024

My painting concept for The Lost Boys movie. Oil on canvas - 18x24, mostly finished. This one was fun but the guys hanging from the bridge required some patience. Lol. It will debut at Mad Monster in Concord in February! It should be a good time. Come out if you can see this one and maybe a few more new pieces.

12/01/2024

My painting of the Xenomorph. Oil on custom stretched canvas, 51x32 inches. It has been requested that I post a still image, instead of just the reels. If you want to see this big boy in person, it is currently hanging at Studio 71 Picture Framing and Gallery for a month or so until I figure out how to transport it to upcoming events where I have room for it. 🤘💀

01/01/2024

Battle Llama!!! A private commission painting for Terry Mancour , requested by Lance Studio 71 Picture Framing and Gallery as a mashup of Frazetta and a storyline of Terry’s The Spellmonger Series (fantasy world where dwarves ride their llamas into battle). This oil painting was a lot of fun, so it’s a good way to kick off the New Year after a bit of a break from social media. I’ll be back to the regular shenanigans now, so stay tuned! 🤘.

31/10/2023

My painting of a creepy scene from the Creature from the Black Lagoon - 24x18, oil on canvas. Trying to decide if it’s done and I should stop touching it. Been working on this one in between dry times on the Xenomorph painting. Happy Halloween 👻 🔪 🤘💀.

07/10/2023

My painting of Freddy Krueger, 16 x 20 oil on canvas. Even though he doesn’t wear a mask, this goes with the mask series. So, I mainly featured his glove and hat. These dark ones are hard to photograph when they’re wet. Also, I didn’t take a lot of progress pictures. Sorry. I’ll post the Varnish videos soon.

29/09/2023

My painting of Vincent Price, 18x24 oil on canvas. That lamp about drove me crazy! So much going on there. Then there’s the soft focus cat statue in the foreground, LOL. This is mostly finished but close enough to share. I’m pretty happy with it, even if I thought I’d never finish it because of the lamp. 🤘💀

27/09/2023

And now, something completely different. My charcoal sketch of Dolly Parton (sold). Someone was looking through my sketch portfolio at a show and saw my Stevie Nicks sketch. I showed them a print of a Debbie Harry sketch I did a while back. They said I should do a Dolly sketch. They were right. It sold immediately at recent show. I’m still sharing recent sketches while I’m working on paintings. Almost ready to share one. Stay tuned.

23/09/2023

My charcoal sketch of the Wolfman. Continuing to post recent sketches while I’m working on new paintings. Hopefully I will finish a painting before I run out of sketches to post. Happy Fall.

21/09/2023

My charcoal sketch of the monster. Still uploading the recent sketches while I’m working on paintings. Hope these are fun. Let me know. More to come. Later. 🤘💀

20/09/2023

My charcoal sketch of the Bride, since I haven’t posted anything in a month. Lol. Back to back travel weekends to shows has me behind on painting. I am working on new stuff, but until I can finish, I’m going to share some recent sketches.

22/08/2023

My sixth painting in my Deep Sky series, 24x18 oil on linen canvas. A hard one to get a good pic of. I had to wait until I varnished it and did actually photography, but it looks great. It will just be ready to travel in time for Mad Monster Expo this weekend in n Charlotte. You really need to see this one in person.

19/08/2023

My Ghostface painting completes the series, for now. Swipe to see the set. All are oil on 16x20 stretched canvas. I’ll have them with me next weekend at expo in Charlotte. Hope to see you there! 🤘💀.

15/08/2023

My painting of Michael Myers’ mask, 16x20 oil on stretched canvas. Hmmm, feels like this is starting to shape up to be a mini-series of horror masks. Are you all up for something like that?

13/08/2023

Friday the 13th varnish p**n. 🔪

11/08/2023

My painting of Jason Voorhees’ mask, 16x20 oil on stretched canvas. I couldn’t take a new Halloween painting to without bringing a new Friday the 13th as well. Going for more drama than detail on this one. Thoughts? 💀🔪

07/08/2023

My painting of Michael Myers, 16x20 oil on stretched canvas. Creepy vibes. Needs varnishing to unify the darks but might touch up a few things. I will have this with me at the end of the month at Mad Monster . Hope to see you there!

This weekend - @heroesonline Heroes Con, June 24 - 26 (video was recorded earlier). Not sure of my location yet, but I will be in the vendor section as a special guest artist for the Spellmonger book series by Terry Mancour. We will be rolling out some of the new fantasy art I’m doing for him. I will also have the classics with me. @studio71nc will also be there under the Frame Monkey alias. You can get some of my art and get it framed on the spot! Come see me! It’s going to be a good time! 🤘💀 . . . . #universalmonsters #horror #horrormovies #horrorart #fanart #scifiart #classichorror #fantasyart #scifi #art #artist #oilpainting #artwork #spellmonger #painting #canvas #oilpainting #oilpaints #portrait #shenanigans #drawing #sketch #wesflanary #artworkbywesflanary

One minute update. Next show. Beer. I did a terrible job. So, I’m still working on things I can’t share, yet. In the meantime you can still get unsigned variants in the shop or come out and see me at the @concordmicrocon at @cabarrusbrewco May 7th for the good stuff. Shop will update after this event. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Appreciate you all. 🤘💀 . . . . #universalmonsters #horror #horrormovies #horrorart #fanart #scifiart #classichorror #retro #scifi #art #artist #oilpainting #artwork #artistoninstagram #painting #canvas #oilpainting #oilpaints #portrait #color #drawing #sketch #wesflanary #artworkbywesflanary

One minute update time! I will be at @sccomicon April 9th and 10th in Greenville, SC. Also NEW stuff in shop!!! It’s been a while since I tweaked it, so go check it out. I’d rather paint than do the admin stuff, but I’m going to try to be better at it. Let me know if these updates are these helpful or silly (or both). I’m working on some projects that I can’t share at the moment but could share process stuff, maybe. Have the fun. 🤘💀 . . . . #universalmonsters #horror #horrormovies #horrorart #fanart #scifiart #classichorror #retro #scifi #art #artist #oilpainting #artwork #comicon #youngfrankenstein #genewilder #oilpainting #oilpaints #portrait #prints #drawing #sketch #wesflanary #artworkbywesflanary

Video from this past weekend's event. Sorry, it didn't automatically upload from Instagram when I posted it there. Then Facebook died for a day. Anyway, sorry it's late. Enjoy Before I get into the details, I wanted to thank Special Olympics NC and Over The Edge for putting on an amazing event. It was overwhelming and humbling experience, not necessarily because of the descent off a 30 story building, but all the athletes and volunteers were absolutely amazing people to spend the morning with. It is such a great cause that does so much for the athletes and the organization. I recommend getting involved if you can. Which leads me to my next person to thank, Noel, my team captain for getting me involved. Last but not least, big thanks to everyone that donated!!! You all rock! So, I had a blast doing this! It was such a cool opportunity. The event staff made us feel at ease and took great care of us. Even just hanging out on the rooftop while waiting our turn was cool. As we were waiting our turn, I kept seeing feathers float up over to the side. I walked to the edge to look, about five feet down and 15 feet away on another ledge was a falcon eating his breakfast - I'll spare you the details of what that was. He didn't seem concerned about us at all. Free Bird was literally playing on the radio they had up there. LOL. Anyway, the video is a little long (just under 12 minutes), and I did try to cut some of it where nothing was happening but wanted to keep most of the descent and some of the ending. The whole experience took about an hour and the descent about 15 minutes. I hope you have time to watch the whole thing at some point. Thanks again.

https://give.classy.org/wesflanary Something different. I am raising money for the Special Olympics NC by joining their Over the Edge challenge. So if you want to see footage of me rappelling 400 feet off a 30-story building, please donate in the link above. Aside from being an awesome person for donating, you will get to see if I cry or scream the entire way down. This event kind of symbolizes the facing of fears and adversities that Special Olympic Athletes bravely face daily. It’s also a great time with wonderful people. The event is October 2nd. Video footage will come after that.
