Until i get some real news to post i wanted to
share some photos that i thought best illustrated how inspiration can really
strike from anywhere- we were eating at my favorite Indian resteraunt Gills
which is located at the bottom of the Hotel Stilwell and in its lobby were
a series of rugs- I don't know what it was about them because I'm sure I've
seen tons of stuff that's similar to this but for some reason it was exactly
the inspiration i needed to finish the watercolors i started for my NY show-
March 2009
This has been a very busy month! I was hoping I'd be
able to do a sort of weekly journal of what I've been working on, which this
month has been my upcoming show with Sloan Fine Arts- but I've been far to
busy making 2 headed weasels! So instead here's a quick photo journal-
Heads!
Morgan
rubs a horse Butt for good luck - and to get it smooth
air brushing the horse
almost done!
Finished! One life-sized cut-in-half pony!
Inside the horse is a lighthouse - we researched lighthouses for some inspiration.
This one is
in San Pedro, CA.
the Black Rhino- cutting & sculpting the foam-
Morgan magic sculpting (now that's a dedicated
husband!)
Rhino almost done- but the Beaver wants coffee!
I can sculpt a Rhino head, but i can't make a cookie!
The beginnings of a push me pull you creature-
Securing the sails for the Black Bunny
wingless Rabbits, ready for their wings
an angry armadillo
I took time out to do an art class for a program called "Room 13-"
at Elliot middle School here's a taste of the very talented 6th graders work!
artists Jakhar & Josh with their awesome creations
meanwhile back at the drawing board, Morgan tattoos up the herd-
and i paint them, and then he inks them and then i spray lacquer them......
and then we all go for a walk in the park!
Valentine 2009
Thank you to everyone who ordered a knife or wanted to!
They sold out within the first hour and even though we found more, those sold
out too! I'm sorry if you had trouble placing an order, we didn't expect the
high volume of sales and with a new site we had a few run ins with Paypal,
but webmaster Damion was on it and saved the day! I also want to say thanks
to Boing Boing whom I
suspect was the reason for all the orders (thanks David!)
Sadly I was unable to order more knifes in time for Valentine's Day and they
will not arrive for a few months yet. Due to so many requests I will be making
the personalized hearts again as soon as they come in. Click
here to join my mailing list if you'd like me to let you know when they
are made! It's Feb 7th today and almost all the knifes shipped out this morning,
the rest will go out early monday morning in time for Valentine's Day! I have
to say those little guys kept me busy these last few days! Thanks again!
Highlights of 2008
City
Beat featured me on their New Years Eve cover 2008/2009 and dubbed me
Artist of the Year! I'm not sure what year they are talking about, I honestly
don't think I deserve it! But I'm not going to argue with them!

I won the International Horror Guild Award for outstanding achievement in horror and dark fantasy art for "the incurable disorder "- its the only thing I've ever won and I love that my first trophy features a very cute gargoyle! |
