Photographing this new Frankenstein commission for a good friend. It’s a Christmas present for his wife. I ripped up an old paperback book of Frankenstein for the base layer of this piece. Used spray paint and permanent ink to add the color and texture. Image transfer via matte medium gel for the black halftone image. Next step is applying Art Resin to the piece.
I have several more pieces of artwork on display on the second floor of the 3M Design Center in St Paul, MN. They liked the artwork on the first floor so much they asked for more. :-)
New commission celebrating the life and accomplishments of Balwant Gargi. He was a Punjabi language dramatist, theatre director, novelist, and short story writer, and academic. I used some vintage postcards from India as the background layer. This is going to be a gift for his daughter.
I recently finished an Aston Martin commission for a fellow car enthusiast. Here’s some photos showing the different steps in the process- paper pasteup from old books, magazines and maps. Then making some stencils for the cars and logo. And then applying the image transfer (poor mans screen print). Next step is to apply the Art Resin.
The Fall edition of the St Paul Art Crawl is this weekend, October 12-14, 2018. I’ll be set up at the Creators Space in Lowertown St Paul. There are 20+ other guest artists showing their work at this building over the weekend. Stop in and get your art on! www.creatorsspace.com
Stop by Pizza Lucé in Uptown to grab a slice and check out my artwork while you are there. It will be up from August 19 to October 6. All of the work is for sale. Send me a direct message if you are interested in a certain piece. Thanks!
I bought a bunch of old used records from The Salvation Army and cut up the sleeves to use for some new artwork. I’m going to paint on top of them and create something new. They will be framed in 12” x 12” black metal frames with glass. It should be an interesting project.
I have some signed and numbered prints ready to go. Each print is an edition of 25 and is signed and numbered in pencil below the image. They are printed on 110 lb. ultra smooth acid-free white paper. They will be available at upcoming art fairs and on my website.
