in the same vein of miniatures, for christmas i made my mother this small watercolor and placed it in a coaster frame. it's my interpretation of a thermal scan of the thyroid, of which she's had problems with. she showed it to her endocrinologist and he got a total kick out of it. hah!

mold from the thaw

i've added another layer of vellum to some of these and i think they're coming along nicely. once i have a more substantial quantity i'm going to post some for sale.

hoping fast that my arrow hits the mark

as of late in working on these small boxed watercolors, i was reminded of my own previous work, realizing that i've always been fascinated and interested in small encapsulments; whether they stand alone or, in the past, were part of a bigger picture. this is a work i did in college that represented the latter for me. imagery from all aspects of my life were interwoven to create the piece as a whole, but each box broke off little parts of these combined experiences into small capsules of specific interactions or periods of time. it still remains untitled.

i found this article in this months ARTnews; a couple posts back (this one) i mentioned seeing what i thought was one of richard serra's pieces on a flatbed in manhattan, and i'm glad to have found out for certain it was.

small bones

so.
southerngraphicsconference (www.sgcphiladelphia.com) is coming up in the end of march, and i have pretty big plans for what i'd like to have to show at open portfolio. i've elaborated the concept of those small wolf-men from my coffee cups, and will be printing them en mass on paper as well as apparel; pictures to come as of march when i'm back at LESPrint.
i've also been working on a series of small watercolors, encased in clear plastic boxes of various shape and size.
this one above is a fairly simple notion of a landscape; i've enjoyed playing with subtle variations in opacity and adding texture with thread.
the two below are more successful in my mind because of the play of light that's allowed between the clear box and the translucency of the vellum. the subtleties of the watercolor become more and subsequently less apparent as the light shining through them changes throughout the day.


clicking on the pictures makes them pop up in another window at a larger scale, you can see more of the details.

taking a step back?
GET THE FUCK BACK UP!

translating vibration into knowledge

trying to keep my internal momentum.

these are the coffee cups at my job, i've been drawing on them to differentiate from other peoples. i'm thinking i'm going to end up with about 28. this is just a really great table at my house, but i envision a shelf similar on the wall with them all in row like this. they each have naturally developed unique stains from being in use for several days. is daily grind too camp?

these drawings too have been appearing on everything in my waking life and my subconscious. i've got studio space and the LESPrintShop starting in two weeks and i have a lot of really exciting ideas in terms of the work i want to make. oh man, cant even wait to be back in the studio.
