I Did A Thing

Spring Open Studios (Apr 25 from 12-6PM) is coming. The group show is called Beasties - and this is what I came up with. Meet Rossetti the Yeti. She is a Yeti crab made from a Mint M&Ms package and some other cardboard laying around, s well as a lot of duct tape and heavy use of a glue gun!

I also did a second thing

The night of the most competitive form of Art Collecting you can ever participate in! Part raffle! Part roller derby! Scheme and plan to make sure you get the piece you want! Talk up the other great pieces (it’ll be easy) lie to your friends about how you don’t care which one you want! Tell your children you’re definitely picking their piece, if it’s still available. Come downtown and get your Art on!

Seen here is a monster of the deep with some extendo-tentacles! Pirates beware. Fishermen beware! Everyone beware!!!

Stuff Going On

If I accidently stumble into doing something even vaguely interesting, it will show up here.

withdrawn

Withdrawn is about finding hardcover books that have been abandoned by previous owners and passed over by the masses as well as books removed from a library catalog. It is taking that book and combining it with the pieces of a board game and creating a new third thing.

shown above: Just Past the Point of No Return. A pairing of the book The Point of No Return with the game Perfection.

ANIMALIA

Exploring minimalism with lines and color using the animal kingdom, both real and imagined. They have involved representing a recognizable creature with just one or two lines and combining that with a limited color palette to accentuate certain areas.

shown above: Fruitstripe Whale.

SALEM ARTS SUBMISSIONS

For a few years, I challenged myself to submit a piece of artwork created specifically for each call for art and try to use a different medium as often as I could.

Other Things

Then we have the one-offs and experiments that don't fit into neat categories.

seriously, a blog?

I am doing this for myself, but if you find enjoyment out of it, great! What you will find here are the artsy type things we do and or see throughout the year. And about five things I liked about it. Ideally, this will improve over time!
