Twine Jacket

This jacket is made of hemp twine (second from largest size), black paracord and plastic buckles. It took about 3 months to create.

Calyx Krater

My friend saw the vases I had made and asked for one for Christmas. I told him that my next would be a calyx krater (ancient Greek) and he said that he wanted his to be "legit". We haggled over hero counts, but the figures were easier to do than expected. He got Theseus vs the Minotaur on one side and Perseus with Pegasus and Medusa (with a bonus Kraken) on the other. There may be some type of copyright issue with my figure designs, but I processed them to look "legit" enough so that should not be a problem. My only real issue with this is that the paper mache became heavy enough to distort the top when it was wet.

Vases 1 & 2

I imagened in my mind a cardboard vase that would look like a surrealist painting. It would be angular and have the shading all going the wrong way. That did not happen. This is what came out instead. The outer surfaces were painted flat and then drybrushed, accentuating the edges and ripples in my paper mache. Splattering them got paint all over my desk, another sculpture and my mirror.

Cemetery Excitement

Over the summer, I was struck by an interest to do a piece based on a photo of this crypt door at the local cemetery. I was still in abstract mode, so it looks way more exciting and inviting than a cemetery should.

Popcorn Sutton

This is from a sketchbook for an art class. I don't think it's that good because I didn't grid and measure. It looks impressionist to me.
