Feature:

11-21-04 - I've been making desktop images for my computer as a photoshop exercise. They each have a calendar, so I make one every month. Click on the image to blow it up in a new window, then for Windows, right-click then choose "Set as Wallpaper". For Mac... hell I don't know, ask one of your Mac buddies to help you. I'll update every month, so check back. Right now I only have 1024 x 768 resolution, because that's what use.

   

Past:

11-15-04 - The Frank mask was a success! I have been talking about this mask since well before last Halloween, but never found the time to make it. I started with the wire frame, which I modeled by looking at freeze frames of the DVD of Donnie Darko. Then I wrapped plaster gauze (like the stuff they use to make casts for broken bones) all over it. For a while I couldn't decide what to do for the eyes, because in the movie they are so bulbous. Finally, wandering around Goodwill I found a snowglobe that looked just right. I emptied it, cut it in half and shaped it a bit. Then I set it in with glue gun. My artist friend Jason Goldberg (www.mosney.net/mmm) painted it for me. For teeth, I carved HDU (high density urethane) or "Sign-Foam" and painted it. They were set in with glue.

Finally, I sewed a backing out of black cloth and glue-gunned it to the mask. For the suit, I just rented a black furry suit and sewed on a front piece to make it look a bit more rabbity. I'm very happy with it, but it's not as good as this guy's totally professional Frank mask.

10-24-04 - I'm working on a halloween mask. It's of Frank from the movie Donnie Darko. Frank is a 6-foot tall bunnie rabbit that talks to Donnie and tells him when the world will end. So far I have the wireframe made, now I'm looking for sunglasses to use for the eyes, then I'm going to plaster the whole thing, paint it and airbrush highlights. I'll finish it off with a clear coat of acrylic. I may even have to sew a bunny suit. I'll post pictures afterward.

10-24-07 - A bag made of plastic bags. That's exactly what you are looking at. This particular bag consists of 31 individual plastic shopping bags. It took about 1.5 hours to make, including folding all of the bags. I got the idea from Readymade magazine, where in a fall issue they showed how to make a purse/handbag. I made that too... post it later.

More art will come. It's more a matter of posting it than making it, but check back soon.
