latest stuff
Small (8" wide) piece. In progress--to display at Pilchuck when I'm there in July.
Bull engraving (from above--done on 1006bl/clb Lamberts)
Bull sketch--I dunno nuthin' about bulls...this was made from a composite of sources including photographs found on the net, a simple cartoon, images of the Taurus zodiac symbol and "Ferdinand the Bull" by Munro Leaf. This is all in preparation to do a piece on the theme of Minotaur.
Eyeballs before and after. The black ellipses are a second layer. I am pleased with how strangely labial they look! And when they're not labial, they look like fish or bugs...

Crafts are fun....
But only for “everyone”....whomever that may be...certainly they’re not fun for everyone!

eyeballs versus lips
any thoughts...? I'm making a real quickie-tiny one to show when I teach at Pilchuck. The eyeballs...a bit trite..but then again, they're freaking EYEBALLS and have an automatic engaging thing going on with the viewer's eyeballs responding on an animal level. Lips are nice...the sexiest part, if you ask me...but not as powerful an image, perhaps. What say you, good people?

Steve and I at the Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse NY
But what I did after....drove with Steve Easton to an antiques junk mall near Rochester...it added three hours to the trip home but it was fun as heck! And I like taking pictures....so here are some.
