I'm as happy as a proud parent because my baby stood on it's own today! Come to the East Side Culture Crawl, November 18th to 20th. See me in the Mergatroid building.

here's a preview of what you'll see if you come to my show during the Eastside Culture Crawl.

fluffy bunnies

These are some older projects. A few Christmases ago I collaborated with my better half to make some stuffed bunnie sculptures.

I recently was asked by Kris Sayer, a local Vancouver cartoonist and Vancouver Comic Jam buddy, if I could make her a giant spoon, because she needed it to complete her arsenal. 'Nuff said.

The spoon is about 6 feet long, and the bowl about a foot wide. I really enjoyed making it. Do you want a giant spoon too? Check out Kris's artwork at www.tatterhood.com

Monster

This is the first sculpure I've made that can actually crush me. Like a Richard Serra sculpture. Note the hammer on the floor for size reference.

ROBEAST

Hello gentle readers!

I am happy to announce that noted Sacramento artist, Skinner, has already finished painting one of the robots I've sent him! IT LOOKS AMAZING!
