Thank you to everyone who came out to say hello to Todd Mrozinski and I at the Orange Gallery BVGN event this weekend.
It was nice to meet some many new, like minded people.
Also a big thank you to Ngoc for asking us to participate.
If you missed the night, the remaining work should be up and for sale for the next month.
Last summer Amity Skateboards approached me to design a skateboard for them.
Having wanted to design my own skateboard since I was a teenager, I obviously jumped on the opportunity.
The first version of the design I made is now available. I can’t wait to get my hands (and feet) on one of these.
I’m looking forward to teaching some little people how to pass their time the same way I did.
Buy it here.
I know I’ve been neglecting this webpage and my Facebook page in favor of Instagram lately.
Sorry about that, but it’s easier and more interactive.
That said, here are a few of the pieces I’ve finished this month that I haven’t posted yet. You can find larger images of each here.
Bunnies, bunnies, bunnies…I know, but I see them in my yard every day and they in the mythology of just about everything I care about.
I still haven’t had the time to finish the very large and elaborate pieces I posted studies of in December.
Some day, soon I hope.
As of now, most of the things I’ve posted this year and most of things coming up will be in a Milwaukee show in June.
More details on that when they are settled.
If you like my postcard boxes, Volume 1 is officially out of print.
Sparrow Collective and the Waxwing got the last copies a few weeks ago.
I have no plans to reprint them as they are nothing like what I started doing shortly after I made them.
I will hopefully have news about a collaboration with Orange Pops this spring.
Time will tell.
Adios.
This is the first new, finished, papercut I’ve made in a while.
There were a few false starts and failures along the way.
I may change the dress highlights and umbrella accent colors.
We will see….
Thanks to Tom Waits for the title.
This was inspired by Tuonen Piika and Sielulintu.
It isn’t faithful to the story, but that doesn’t really matter.
No time to write more…
This is the first large piece I made following my show at the Waxwing back in September. I was listening to the Chelsea Girl album by Nico quite a bit while I was designing and cutting this out. It is the first papercut I’ve made with three layers and three panes of glass. It looks very different in person than it does in this digital representation.
The Waxwing was the first place to show and sell my work and they are currently trying to move into a larger space. If you have ever been there, then you know how much more space would mean to the local art community; which in turn would make more locally made art and merchandise available to the public.
Please consider donating to their Kickstarter if you’d also like to see this happen.
My incentive has already been taken, but there are many more great things available.
