Goodbye Brooklyn

After (2) years in Brooklyn.
I'm heading back to Boston!

We get the truck tomorrow
so here's some moving music
(made from selected loops in garageband)

Dreams will be returning shortly

Enjoy!

design- for the cut paper illustration
Since I forgot to take a photo of the final piece before shipping



















I'm also lucky to be a part of another great show this month
Space 242's "Get Your Freak On!"
Celebrating Circus Folk, Carnies & Sideshow Freaks


For this piece- I created a series of cards (roughly 5 x7)
(L-R Human Aquarium, Mermaid, Dog-Faced Man, Alligator Lady, Headless Woman)







Inspired by the Mixies Circus Cards of the 50's
I created Design- A-Freak.



















Mix and Match the pieces to
create a new variety of freak.

Etsy Commission- The Villain's Lair (1)

This is "The Villain's Lair"


















(1) of 3 Rooms

Commissioned by Etsy.com and
now installed at their "Corporate"
Offices in Brooklyn-Dumbo, NY

This was a dream project for me;

I created the initial concept (of the room)
influenced by a Streamline Art Deco Style which
was inspired by The Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers
serials of the 1930's.

Jen and I worked on nearly every facet of the room
We painted, cut, hammered, designed and sewed
our way through this project with enthusiasm (and mild profanity:)

Many Thanks go to Rob Kalin

Also
Layla Delridge, Sarah Starpoli,
Andrew Willmore, and Michael Fleming
for their help on this project.
