Mention you saw this and I'll give you 10% off your purchase. See you out there somewhere!

Sharky - The Hammerhead

/

Recent idea was to go big, make a big shark. I decided on a good design, then blew it up on the overhead projector. Size was limited to the size of my studio hence his present size. Wiring in the shape of Sharky took ten hours to complete then the skinning process began. This is where I cut and weld on piece by piece copper, very time consuming.  This one I wanted to be different and asked a buddy who works with glass to make the eyes. Eyes by Topher Reynolds of Copious Glass came through.  Sharky has over 50 SHARP teeth, blistering blue eyes & is ready for a new home.

Rutabaga Crown 2014

/

That's right the Rutabaga Ball is just around the corner whats a Queen with no crown? No problem, the Kinetic Universe gave me the contract once again this year. This years design I liked the sketch with a big rutabaga in the middle, hence this copper one.  Doing the letter was a bit frustrating and the letters just kind of fell into this position, that's when I said, thats it!  Stones were donated from a local friend, thanks Wende.

For The Glory!!!

 

Back to reality

Sorry for my tardiness, too much world travel does one good. I'm back from my travels to SE Asia and am back in full art mode. Ideas to paper, paper sketches to copper sculpture.  Presently I'm showing at the following both located in Old Town Eureka.

Funk Shui located on F street in between 2nd & 3rd, next door to Old Town Coffee. Then there's "The Siren Song Tavern" located in what used to be Old Town Bar & Grill. Please stop by and give a gander and take some incredible art home.

Where to find me - December 2013

Change is the only constant they say, so where is my art locacted now you ask?  Yes I am showing presently at the Hall Gallery located on C street Old Town Eureka, next to the Works.  Need to wet your whistle? Try Siren Song Tavern just down the street.   Don't make it to Eureka? No problem.  Funk Shui located in Arcata down from Wildberries.  Earrings are now "buy one get the second one half off".  Get em while they last.
