old birthday present


Here's one I did for my stepson Noah a couple years ago for his 20th birthday (before Talbot). I have refurbished the piece and gave it a proper frame (not shown here). Enjoy!

something a little different


I decided to be less deliberative or contemplative for this piece. I kind of just "threw it together" to see what would emerge from some elements that were simply laying around the studio. I'm not displeased with it. I think it sort of has my voice in it, but is a bit different than the stuff I've been focusing on as of late. It was a nice exercise for me. Enjoy!

"I was thinking of something different"


Here's a piece I did a couple years ago, before I learned Jonathan Talbot's technique. I "refurbished" it and re-matted and framed it (mat and frame not shown here). It's 8" x 10". Enjoy!

lapel pins





During one of my evening travels through collage-land, I happened to do a little mini-collage with some scraps. After some exploration and experimentation, I thought these might make nice collage lapel pins. Still need to work on some of the details, but I kinda like these. I gave one to MC for Valenine's Day. Enjoy!

Primordial collage


This exhibit looks like a great opportunity to see some of the earliest collages of Picasso and probably some of the initial collages that gave "fine art" credibility to the medium. Check out the story at the New York Times site.
"Picasso: Guitars 1912-1914" is on view from Sunday to June 6 at the Museum of Modern Art
I can't wait to see it!!!

Interesting video by Iuri Kothe

Check out the video by Iuri Kothe. It's a nice 4 minute video "documenting" the decision-making process in the creation of one of his collages. Enjoy!
