Some Figures that are TINY!!





I love tiny formats, one is a tiny figure painting in oil and the others are in a tiny sketchbook with black and white ink on mid tone paper. :)

marvin and the turtles









  This is a 4' by 2' commissioned oil painting of my friend's dogs.  Larger and a bit different from how I usually go about things, but I had fun with it.

OBJECTS

For the past few months, in the studio, I have been working on a series of prints based on objects I consider to be well designed. This began with my admiration of product design. Both the function and aesthetic qualities.

I am finding more and more that an object functioning well does not necessarily mean it occupies space in an aesthetically pleasing way and vice-versa. My goal is to seek out things (for lack of a better word) that accomplish both ideas of form and function. The subjects range from a paper bag to furniture. Anything that, in my opinion, is designed well but also performs its intended task in a smooth manner.

Every Tuesday I will be releasing a new print in an edition of 5. All prints are available for purchase through the link in each post and the "shop" link at the top of the page. Here is the first print and the blog I will be releasing them on:

The prints are also available for purchase($35) here:
