I intended this to be a one-day build last Saturday, but between visiting three Asian markets before I found suitable dried fish and then waiting for layers of acrylic to dry (yes, a heat gun is on my wish list), it took be until yesterday to put the finishing touches on it. That’s okay; with…

The Fate of Centeotl
I don’t know how to classify this, as it’s not precisely an assemblage. A construction, maybe? Whatever it is, I’m currently calling it “The Fate of Centeotl”: It’s pretty large for what I usually do, 19″ x 23″ x 7″ (largely because of the sticky-out nails). It’s also minimally painted — the salvaged wood had…
Two works in progress.
No, not part of the same thing. I’m not happy with the orange part of the fish one. I think I’ll be digging the Liquid Nails out of the tin and trying again.
Announcement: Pandemonium Art Gallery
The Pandemonium Art Gallery, a new gallery opening August 17th on 25th Street in Ogden, has accepted a few of my pieces for display: “The Fetus Engine”: “The Scarab of Deseret”: And “Ancient of Days” (yes, it finally has a name):
The last Steamfest sketch.
Took a photo with my phone before I gave it away at Steamfest. I just didn’t want you to think you were missing anything.
Steamfest Sketches.
Ah, the best laid plans: Last year, for the first Steamfest, 600 attendees were expected; 1200 came. This year, 1200 were expected; roughly 600 came. Part of it was probably the change of venue from downtown SLC to a conference center in Layton, about fifteen miles north into Davis County. We in Davis are used…
Two shriney things.
I didn’t get a chance to take pictures of both of these before I took them to Steamfest (a semi-update post to come) — I only finished the second one this morning — but neither of them sold, giving you a second chance to observe them. Aren’t you blessed? I call this one “The Fetus…
July 24, 1847
From the journal of Apostle Wilford Woodruff on July 24, 1847: This, the 24th day of July, 1847, was an important day in the history of my life, and in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After traveling from our encampment six miles through the deep ravine valley ending with…
Heads and brains and such.
I have a half-dozen art and model projects in various stages of completion; with Steamfest this coming weekend, I need to sticks forks in some of them. First up, some improved shots of the spiderhead I showed last time: This next one is called The Book of Lives, and is as close to a “pure”…
Asking for the Resignation of Eric Holder.
In a perfect world, the flagrancy with which Attorney General Eric Holder has consistently abused his office for partisan and racially divisive goals would be a bipartisan issue; I don’t care which party you support, you should see that the man’s willingness to use the Justice Department for political ends weakens the trust that citizens…
