my second sculpture

This is the second sculpture that I made. It is a milkweed pod with a rubberband around its midsection. I stood it up so that it kind of looks like an anteater or something.

I have a whole lot of work that I haven't posted on here, I just haven't remembered to bring Ali's camera or to replace batteries and stuff like that. Someday it is coming.

So, last week I made this sculpture. I bought four cans of expanding foam and then I sprayed them on this log. It doesn't stand upright, so there is also this little wedge of wood that I use to hold it up. Anyway, I really wanted to see how it looked installed with some of my paintings, so I did it, and these are some photos.

Hi. Sorry for the absence. It's been harder with my camera not working. This is a giant dump of some of my current pictures, both finished and in progress.

The painting above is called "Teamwork", I think.

I like the idea of calling the above "Vain world, adieu", But I think it's probably too lame.

Sorry! My camera broke, so I haven't taken many photos lately. Here is an update. I feel very suspicious of the top one, like it's to literal or illustrative or something.

Hide

I've been fooling around with different ways of presenting these things. I tried painting a black square on the wall today.

"This Is How It Really Happened!"

Ali and I were the victims of a hit and run yesterday. We took these photos to lighten the mood, because the mood definitely needed some lightening.

I just noticed those birds were bats

these are some more things

A new watercolor. I rearranged and cleaned my studio today. It was way overdue.

Iguana

My friend Ginny left me a present in my studio. A taxidermied iguana! poorly done, at that. Thanks Ginny, for a super cool sunday morning surprise.

The Birthday Party

I finished this painting for the little show going on right now in the MFA Whitier Gallery. Up until now I have hated it, but today I started to think that it might not be as bad as all of that. I think it's got some redeeming qualities. For now it's titled The Birthday Party.

fairy tales

productive day.

I added the feathers to my jackadaw. I think I like them!



I FINALLY have a companion for my fox that I am happy with! I think it's a lungfish? I don't actually know what a lungfish looks like but that name seems right to me.

better... more interesting.
