Come on over to my new site

Great Art makes you want to become a better person.

I have been playing around with jewelry lately. I am quick to come up with ideas that are as complicated as possible. With every new idea there is a tool that I do not have and need to buy.With no money at my disposal I am going to limit myself to ready made objects. I can cut and polish just about anything with the tools in the glass studio where I work. I love exploring new material.

Yes, I am still working on paintings.

An artist on Flickr recently posted work from the Volta art fair. One of the painters whose work he photographed was Khalif Kelly a student at yale. I am really draw to all the paintings I have seen so far. The work is illustrative, and honest with a touch of politics. People are relating him to Jacob Lawrence but I see more of Balthus.

More boxes. The Handel on this one is made from a piece of antique spatula, a piece of felt, an old rusty washer, a wooden peg, and piece of a tag my mechanic put on my keys when my check engine light decided to come on for no apparent reason.

I have more art ideas than a freshman art student off his A.D.D medication. An idea has to come back around two or three times before Shannon will give it any validity. Something that keeps coming up, several times in the last five years, is making boxes.I am back on the box kick and ideas are flowing.
