Wayward Wife Poster

Monday, December 1st, 2008

A few months ago, I was invited to participate in a group show at Sequential Art Gallery. The pitch was to recreate a classic pulp fiction book cover as a poster-sized piece of art. After doing some digging, I found a 60s era book with the intriguing title The Wayward Wife and this is my interpretation!

Black & White Graphic Insight: DOA

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

DOA, 2008
Collage and resin on wood
13.5 x 9.5 inches
I originally intended to show this piece last month at my solo show, but ran behind schedule. Better late than never! This series is offically closed; I’m in the planning stages for a new body of very colorful work that will ramp up early […]

Black & White Graphic Insight: The Handshake

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

The Handshake, 2008
Collage, ink and resin on wood
5 x 7 inches
For every series, I make a conscious decision to make a handful of smaller scale, more affordable pieces that are in line with the overall theme. I’ve always felt that art should be accessible and because if this, if someone cannot afford […]

Kiss & Tell Poster

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

A few weeks ago, when I heard that Nemo was hosting an art show called Stapled & Torn, I knew I wanted to make a poster. The one rule regarding entries was that they had to advertise something (no art prints allowed). Instead of promoting a band, I decided to focus on my friend Seze’s […]

The Stapled and Torn Poster Show at Nemo Design

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

On Friday night, the Stapled and Torn show opened at Nemo. Around 15 artists submitted their screen printed posters and our walls were nearly covered! The turnout was huge and it was nice to be in such great company. Here are some of the sights:

One of the coolest parts of the show was the faux telephone […]

Black & White Graphic Insight: Black As Night

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Black As Night, 2008
Collage and resin on wood
12 x 18 inches

I wanted the collage to come off as an intense, futuristic body armor. This piece was particularly hard to edit due to the intricate edges and the reflectiveness of the resin; it has a much stronger presence in person.  The final few pieces of this collection […]

Black & White Graphic Insight: Love & Legacy and Lucky 13

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Love & Legacy, 2008
Collage and resin on ceramic red cross
9 x 9 inches
I love making these ceramic red cross pieces because they’re so compact and not everyone has room for a massive piece of art! Lately, I’ve been getting more into the idea of portability. I have a few more new […]

Black & White Graphic Insight: Midnight Powder

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Midnight Powder, 2008
Collage, ink, resin on wood
13.5 x 9.5 inches

This piece was started back in December, but got pushed aside during my move. It’s such a relief to have it finished, even if it is four months later!

Black & White Graphic Insight: A

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

A, 2008
Collage, ink, resin on wood
13.5 x 9.5 inches
Some details:

Much of my new work is getting more deconstructed and organic, yet is still pulled together by a coat of glossy resin. I’m making a quick switch from wood back to a set of small ceramic red crosses this week for pieces #17 and #18. Two months […]

I’ve decided to add some original art back into the online store as much of the Modern Baroque series has made the rounds to three solo shows and I need to free up space to continue work on my show this July.

All work is 1/1 edition and either on wood or ceramic. Each piece is […]
