Updates

We will be selling at Launch this year on Saturday, July 23!
Sorry for the short notice, but better late than never. Last year we had some success there, and it was fun too. There will be an art bazaar and a lot of bands will play. If you are interested in the event check out this website:

Also, I posted a new page to my blog featuring ridiculous cute pets flying through horribly photoshopped geocities reminiscent landscapes — just for fun. Now go check it out!

Chicken-Frog Sculpture (2005)


This sculpture was made with paper-mâché, chicken feathers, acrylic paint, hot glue, glass doll eyes, and painted plastic googly-eyes for the wart texture. I actually glued every feather onto this thing one at a time — I am still impressed with myself for that.

I would like to eventually post more pictures, but the sculpture is a bit dusty now, and my camera is malfunctioning. Above is a nice photo taken at the unveiling exhibition of the chicken-frog back in 2005.

This work was originally envisioned by a video artist friend of mine who gave me permission to use his idea. Sometimes collaboration is the secret ingredient for that delicious artistic treat.

Life After College (2006)



When I made this painting, I was just a few months away from graduation. I was more than a little worried to take that next step in life, as you can see! 

Unfortunately, this painting is in horrible condition now. The paint is chipping, the canvas is warped, and somebody spilled some paint solvent on its edges. Ah well, at least we have some photos to remember it by.
