Iron-Cow Prod.: Celebrating 10 Years Today!

Added July 4th, 2009 by Matt Cauley

Hey everyone!

I can’t believe that it’s now 10 years today since the launch of Iron-Cow Prod. It seems like only yesterday that I was fumbling with the site, setting it up as a showcase for artwork and custom toys. ICP has gone through numerous changes over the years, but one thing has remained constant: the amazing people I have met through this whole online experience.

I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to thanking those who have helped shaped ICP into what it is today: Gene, Steve, Pierre, Joshua, Swass!, Daniel, Otter, Jesse, the folks at RTM (and countless members of RTM’s ToyBuzz), the fellahs at Millionaire Playboy and the Fwoosh, the ToyFare and Macy’s design staff, my fellow artists, illustrators, toy customizers and designers’ and of course, Magda, my loving (and *very* patient) wife, who has been there for me during times of celebration and during those times when I have been so wrapped up in working that I forget to eat or sleep.

These are just a few of the wonderful people to whom I owe gratitude, and I can’t thank you enough for all the support you’ve shown me all these years. Here’s to another 10 (and many more) wonderful years to come!

As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have!

Portrait Paintings featured in American Artist Magazine

Hey everyone!

Be sure to head over to your local bookstore or newsstand and pick up the latest issue of American Artist Magazine. It includes a six page article regarding my recent portrait paintings, covering everything from the painting technique to the materials used, and there’s even a little Batman thrown in for good measure. I couldn’t be happier with the layout (I even get a mention on the cover!) and I’d especially like to give a huge round of thanks to world-famous artist John Parks for writing such a wonderful article!

Things are great here at ICP, and I’ve never been happier. With the 10th Anniversary coming up this July, it’s time to celebrate! As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have!

As I mentioned in a previous update, I have spent the past few months working on a series of “big heads” for an upcoming art book and exhibition. I am now happy to present an additional seven new portraits. Click on the photo above to view the latest artworks, shown in the ICP Paintings Gallery.

Also, if you happen to be a New York City visitor this upcoming March, be sure to drop by my One-Man Show, on display at the Potion Cafe gallery. More details on that soon!

Portrait painting is a huge passion of mine, and there are lots more works on the way. As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have!
