I’ll be at the Salt Lake Comic Con on September 5-7. If you want to glean pearls of wisdom from my utterances, you can find me on these panels: Thursday 5pm: Movies So Bad, They’re Awesome 8pm: HP Lovecraft: Is His Work Still Relevant in the 21st Century? Friday 6pm: Monsters: Should the Classic Ones…
So I have an account on DeviantArt.
Actually I’ve had the account forever, but I started posting pics of my recent assemblages and sculptures there. So if you just want art pics without anything else I may blather about here, that’s your solution. (Of course, if you’re reading this, you’re probably okay with non-art blather, so you’re not really the target audience…
Pandemonium Art Gallery Opening
Technically, the opening of the Pandemonium Art Gallery isn’t until tomorrow evening, but tonight was the exclusive pre-opening, with artists, family and friends invited — a lot of people in a small gallery space. it would have been rude of me to take pictures of other people’s art in the gallery, so I just took…
Sketch: Coming attraction
The caveat for any sketch for a prospective assemblage is that it’s guaranteed to change significantly depending on what assemblable materials present themselves, but I think when I do this one, the result will be recognizably related to this: I’m not going to start it right away — got a couple of things to finish…
New work: Piscesque
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…
