minor (or not) changes

Well, I forgot the exact title that I wanted when I "stuck the mat" so it is now "You may be our only chance" (although I like "hope" much better... too late now). I also matted it with a cream-colored mat and also included a tiny blue rhinestone on the end of this dude's walking stick (or whatever it is). It was difficult to price this one (and perhaps that is good fodder for another post). Enjoy!

"You may be our only hope"

I have now finished this piece. Even though it's only 5" X 7", I'm going to try to mount it within an 11" x 14" mat and frame. I'm also going to see how it looks with a cream-colored mat instead of the black as shown here. This piece will be exhibited (and be for sale) at the Holiday Show at Sculpture Space on December 6th from 5:30-7:30.

my latest

I'm still working on a title for this one. I'm considering calling it "Preparing for the Invasion" (with allusion to the invasion series). It's darker than some of my other work (in more ways than one). Enjoy!

progression

This piece is not done yet, but for those folks who are interested in the process of the development of a piece, I thought this would be interesting. I'm not sure if this will be an "official" part of the "Invasion" series; although it certainly looks like it belongs. Enjoy!

Stanley Center for the Arts (SCA)

My piece entitled "Cerebrocardiotechnicha" has been accepted into the SCA regional show. The opening will be next Tuesday from 5-6:30 (upstairs from the Stanley Theater in downtown Utica). I'm glad this piece is being shown again... and in Utica. I feel very fortunate and grateful that I now have pieces in three exhibits going on simultaneously. All the hours of hard work have "paid-off" (although, truth be told, they've already paid off in terms of the enjoyment I've experienced in the creative process). Enjoy!

Sammy and Emma make collages!

Here are collages made after our Sloppy Joes dinner this evening by my nephew Sammy (age 11) and niece Emma (age 9).

"Simulatio" reception

Oh yes, I forgot to post the pic of the opening reception. I want to thank folks for coming out on this rainy afternoon. Hope you enjoyed.
