Purpose of this site

First off I do not claim to be an Artist and I am not really all that original. I do appreciate things that are a bit different from the norm and may not be something you would see hanging in your average home. This site is to show some of my work to friends, family and anyone interested. I am open to new suggestions and would love to hear what you think about some of my work (good or bad). All of these items can be reproduced and/or customized and are available for purchase. If there is any custom artwork that you have wanted but just can't find, let me know and we will see what we can come up with. Thank you for taking the time to check out some of my stuff. Please share this site with those who would appreciate or be interested in some of my custom creations. Feel free to become a follower of this site as I hope to be constantly updating it with more of my work. I can be reached by email at danoscroggins@gmail.com Thanks.

WELCOME


Well this sign has been a long time coming. Me and Lisa made it together and it is not really what either of us had in mind but it turned out alright, i guess. Tell us what you think.

No Army Talk Allowed


Someone I work with approached me about making this sign. He had a hand written paper up on his wall in the barracks that said "No Army Talk Allowed" and wondered if I could make a nicer one for him. I gladly took his challenge because to me this was a noble cause. It was quite the undertaking, I printed the phrase off and then cut each letter out with an exacto knife and then, trying to eliminate overspray, I put putty all around the back of the paper to keep it close to the wood so that the spray paint would not leak out too bad. It measures about 10"x 34". In the end I was happy the customer was happy and I felt good because I had helped out in a worthy endeavor.

Idaho Pictures



Well, when we were in Idaho we bought our family Christmas present early. We had been wanting a nice camera so we got one. I went out to take some pictures and this is what I got. There was a statue at the perrine bridge that wasn't there last time we were home. The next picture is of the Twin Falls temple which, you can't really take a bad picture of that. The last picture was taken when I pulled over to take photos of this old barn but I was more intrigued by an old fence. I also took the picture that I used for my header.

Holiday Tie Wreath


Lisa found this in a magazine and since i have a whole bunch of ties we thought we should make one.

Leaves Art


This is somewhat of a rip off of something I saw at Fred Meyer. I changed the leaf pattern and colors. These are 26"x36" and are currently hanging just above our bed as a headboard.

Two Roads


My sister has always told me that this poem reminds her of me. For quite a while I have been trying to find artwork to represent this poem. One day online I found a piece of yard art that looked like this. I loved it. I made a smaller version that I took to our sections Christmas Party. I am gonna make a much bigger one for us.

DVD Cabinet

I am proud of this because
I thought of it completely
on my own. I liked the idea
that something could be a
piece of art as well as a piece
of furniture. This is a dvd
cabinet that has pictures of
old theatres, theatre signs and
drive-ins. The front is revers-
ible, it has stuff on both sides.
It has brackets that are made
to look rusty so it has some what
of an industrial feel to it. I will
probably make different pieces
of art to fit in the front of it at
some point.
