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.

Shanty Like a Step Up From Cardboard, Not Like The Best Part of Being a Pirate.

So i spent the past couple of days making a little shanty, it was a lot of tiny pieces of wood, the whole things probably 4 inches long. It's still not completely done and is just a piece of a larger work.

so you can see the underside of the roof, and the windows:

and then a pre-roof/stilts shot from earlier:


I'm still not sure of what i think of it all, but I think it has the potential to fit well in the larger whole.

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.
