Statue of Liberty


In honor of the 4th of July Celebration this weekend, I created a new Statue of Liberty 3D pop art piece.

The artwork incorporates a papercut Statue of Liberty and lovely white cloud.

Hand-cut pieces are glued layer by layer to the background picture. Since every piece of artwork I create is hand-cut, constructed and embellished differently, collectors of my artwork each receive a unique piece of art.

The cloud is rendered in 2D, while the Statue of Liberty is rendered in 3D.

The artwork comes framed in a black box frame. This piece is hand signed and ready to hang!

Dimensions: 5x5" framed

This 4th of July I plan on going to West New York with my wife and family to watch the fireworks over the Hudson.  We went last year and the firework display was amazing!  I can't wait to see what kind of show they put on this year.

What are your 4th of July plans?

New Babies Custom Artwork

As you know, I love when I'm commissioned to create custom 3-D artwork.

And while all of the commissions I am requested to create are exciting and unique, there's something extra, extra special about creating a piece for a brand new baby!!!

Recently, I had the great pleasure of creating two customs pieces to welcome two new babies into the world.

The first piece I created was for a boy: Gavin.  His parents wanted me to incorporate a sports theme into the picture.  I used three of their favorite sports: basketball, soccer and baseball.

The next custom baby piece I was asked to create was for a girl: Emma.  This piece was very unique because the request was to just have the letters in 3-D without any sort of picture.  I had never created artwork with just the letters in 3-D before but I am very happy with the way it came out.

Welcome to the world Gavin and Emma!  I hope you and your parents love the artwork.

If you are interested in having your own custom 3-D artwork commissioned, feel free to email me at josh@popsicart.com.  I'd love to hear your ideas.

Custom Marvel Superhero Commission

As you know, one of my favorite things to do is create custom commissioned pieces.  In the past I've been commissioned to create 3-D artwork of people's children, grandchildren and pets.  Other times, people ask me to create a custom piece based on their favorite television show or movie.

Recently, I was commissioned to create a superhero-themed 3-D pop art piece for a woman's husband's birthday.  It was one of my most fun commissions I've ever done!

I'm a huge superhero fan and so was this woman's husband.  She said some of his favorites included Captain America, Spiderman, Hulk and Wolvernie, who are all from the Marvel Comics universe. 

I was very excited to work on the piece and I'm very happy with the way it turned out.  I hope the woman's husband liked it as well.

Adorable Ladybug

We celebrated Memorial Day this year with my wife's family.  She has two brothers and one sister.  They each have children.  So, as you can probably imagine, everytime her family gets together there's a lot of people.


We had a very nice time.  The food was delicious and best of all, the five children all played together nicely.  My wife bought waterguns for all of them.


Somewhere between water gun fights, hot dogs, hamburgers and BBQ chicken, my niece Gianna asked if I could create a piece of ladybug art for her.  Knowing how much Gianna loves ladybugs I got to work on the piece as soon as I got home that evening.


I was so happy with the way it came out that I decided to offer additional versions of the piece in my SHOP.


This adorable ladybug 3-D pop art features a cute, smiling ladybug resting comfortably against a light green background. The ladybug is composed in 2-D, while the ladybug's shell is in 3-D.


The artwork comes framed in a black box frame. The piece is hand signed.
This is the perfect addition for ladybug collectors. The artwork is also perfect for a child's bedroom or playroom.


Dimensions: 5x5" framed


Thank you Gianna for giving me the inspiration to created this 3-D pop art ladybug piece. 


I hope you love the one I gave to you.
