Alcove Gallery is about to have it’s 6th anniversary show and the theme is David Lynch. I created 2 that were inspired by Dune and 1 by Twin Peaks.
I started experimenting with a new technique for these pieces. Up until this point I had used cut paper to created the layered dimension that my canvases [...]

I wanted to make some small canvases that would be affordable pieces for the upcoming Art-B-Que festival in Avondale (just outside of Atlanta). I decided to do a series of Lego Zombie pieces. Each one is 4″ x 3″. These will go on sale at 10am at the festival on June 13th. If you’re in [...]

I finished up “Under the Shroud of Darkness” last night for the upcoming Into the Darkness Show at 1:am San Francisco and took a couple of pictures before work today.

I finished this custom 8″ Munny last Friday night, but just got the chance to take photos of him.
He is going to be migrating up north to NY for the upcoming APW Munny show.
Originally more owl-like creature than cyborg he has endured many hardships traveling back and forth from the mainland to the dessert wasteland. [...]

The hiss of combustible air sizzles through the valves of the giant balloons, much like the pressure of excitement which has built up inside of me anticipating this glorious annual event. Tonight is the anniversary of my people’s exile from the greener pastures of our great world, and not just any anniversary, it is the [...]
