Indonesian Rijstaafel (Feast!)
Grand Rapids – MI – Our last gathering (an artist’s and performers fundraiser for CirqueACirca & The 121st Retronauticon) was a great time for all, and we are doing it again. Come out and meet the crew, have some amazing curry and a spot of tea (vegetarian options available)
Join the Circus
Some of you may already be aware of this, but this year I am participating in Grand Rapids’ Artprize competition along with Bethalynne Bajema, Ted Jauw, Kate Jauw, Bethany Greenier, John Hyatt, and Cassie Truskowski, with our combined work…
Sorry Charlie
He came to the surface world, wondering where all the food had gone, but there were no fish to be found on land; There was however an abundance of two legged meat-things
Undeath from Above
The original was drawn in pen and ink on 11×14 inch Bristol Board, I did the coloring with my 4-year old Adesso drawing tablet so as to preserve the pen and ink original.
Art! Troglodites Hate It, but You’ll Love It!
…Unlike money, which depends on a reliable system of government, art can be traded for gold, tools, women, men, chickens, or circus bears in post-apocalyptic settings, save for those dominated by troglodites and C.H.U.D.s, and it even serves as highly-prized contraband in every dystopian oligarchal collectivist society.
Some Day I Will Never Grow Up
The original was painted on a wood panel cabinet I hand-made for the purpose of doing this painting. I’ll be finishing up the cabinet when I return home.. I can’t tell you what I’ll be filling the cabinet with – but when the construct is done, I will have had a lot of fun making things to fill it with.
Mach Turtle!
Alice rides a Mock Turtle at high speed along a peppermint lollipop shoreline, followed by the Mad Hatter in his own special-crafted craft.
It Looks Pretty, But Can it Kill?
A very lengthy and in-depth posting about airship physics, and (theoretical) practicality for combat, transportation, exploration… Image comparisons … Oh.. and Sky-Vikings.
O Frabjous Day
You can tell I am enjoying a piece when I am afraid to go to sleep before finishing it, spraying fixative on it, scanning it, doing pre-press, and proofing it.
Drill Baby Drill
This is one of those pieces done pretty much entirely for me – hammering out anger in the form of brush strokes, leaving my comfort zone of muted color scales for the bright and vivid; I am still in the process of making prints available however.
