I'm not sure where these are from, but i started imagining great works and histories redone with all the humans replacd by birds tweet bird noise speeches and orations.

This used to be my wallpaper, The Homing Pidgeon soceity released hundreds of thousands of birds simultaneously, each set of pirds trained to return to their respective owners, during a huge celebration in the Netherlands, I think.

The exact details are sketchy it's been a while since I got this image, and I unfortunately do not know the artist's name.

Reverse Encroachment

I fust finished this, there will be a recessed sheet of glass over the front, but i thought shooting would be better without the glare.

There's a working light directly over the bluebird, and the vegetation, but the light gets washed out in these shots.




Sialia sialis, Eastern Bluebird



The show's "opening" is Sept. 27th

The Bluebird is located at:2706 Olive StreetSt. Louis, MO 63103 - need directions?
It's mostly a music venue, and there will be a band playing

I'm not sure what to expect as far as the show, but I like how this piece turned out, It looks better with the glass too.

For Your Own Safety Please Keep At Least Ten Feet From The Bird While It is Discharging Lightning




Thebes the Goblin Artificer/Sorceror, and his pet familiar, Roary the Robin.
Slightly Addled, with a penchant for smoking an ivory pipe.

Still very unfinished and unpainted, mostly kit bashed, the grey is molded and knife shaped plastic, and all of the green is handsculpted 2-part modeling epoxy.

This is not really to be considered "art" just sheer geekiness for interested parties.

p.s. scariest robin ever, your not sure why.

Tubes One Through Four are Flooded, 3, 2, 1, Gullpedos Away!

These are photos from My B.F.A. thesis Piece from May 2007, I decided to put them up for anyone who hasn't seen them, and so i have a place online to store them, and well because, I'm still really proud of the piece.

for the Nautically Challenged, it's a World War 2 Submarine Rigged with sails.





Gullpedo: Half seagull, Half Torpedo


The whole premise is based on layers of symbolism to the point of obfuscation. The original subtexts and meanings are lost and reordered, it's like trying to write a sentence where the words are what the pieces of the whole symbolize and not what they are. Althougth, ultimately I think I just wanted to make something that was a happy mutant of the ideas in my head.

colour-coordinated wooden parakeet people sing about bananas



so i often search youtube for just random phrases and see what comes up. this time i was feeling momentarily melancholy so the phrase was "good day" which led me to both ice cube, and Tally Hall, and the rest was history.

Randomness like this should be bottled and sold as life-improving supplement, like vitamins, except they fortify your soul and not your bones.

*Edit: i just noticed if you look at the right place in the video you can see a person holding a memo marked "Banannual Sales"
