WARNING: NEW CUT-OUTS ON THE WAY!

They Went Swimming

I LOVED making this picture! More and more I want to make pictures like this on a big surface. Get a big canvas and cover it with houses of paint and paper creatures and crayon walkways...I have trouble justifying such a big purchase, though.

This is another picture I'd love to see as a print.

Light Bugs

The world of details and newness and picture-making is really calling out to me right now.  This picture took me a good forty minutes to make, while my little boy jumped on the couch and my wife did her homework. I used tracing paper, lined paper, pieces of mail, pencils, markers, a bandaid, a quick drawing Mikelle made the other day, and a ghost I cut out and lost last September (it became our friend's beard!).

I'd love to make more of these little scenes on a bigger surface.

REVOLUTIONART Magazine

YAY!

The new issue of REVOLUTIONART magazine houses a couple of my paper cut-outs that might induce smiling. Look with caution.

TXTnein Magazine

TXTnein is a PDF magazine featuring design, photography and artwork. I got an email from them this morning, letting me know that some of my paper cut-outs made it into their issue #15.  

New Album Art

This is the cover for some new album art I'm making. This is all cut from a sheet of paper, about 6x6". I want to do more little scenes like this.

Below is the sketch I decided to go with for the cover. I love the look of silhouettes and describing objects by their shapes. I've painted over the album title, because the musician is still deciding between a few really great titles. The music is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait until the album comes out.

Ghost Rainbow

Truth, Youth & Ecstasy Exhibit

Patric Bates is the man. He hosted an amazing art show this past Saturday inside a model home! Complete with music from a record player, a giant coloring book page, rooms filled with great pictures and real-live party conversation, the show was down with the disease.

A special Extended-Version of the show, with more artists, more party, and a live drawing festival will be held this Saturday at the model home. Check out the Truth, Youth & Ecstasy website for more info and photos from the show. 

Ghost-Rider

Check out this and other new paper cut-outs at the Mode Boutique, Friday November 8 from 6-9pm. The show will be up all of November and will be waiting patiently, with its hands neatly folded in its lap, just for you.
