Robot Love

Hey guys, here's some new stuff (finally!)
These pieces were made for a group show called "Robot Love"! The reception is happenin' February 6th at Good, a Gallery in Portland. www.goodpdx.com
It's going to be a great day, since Coraline opens on the sixth, too. Don't worry though, if you're too busy peeping stop-motion goodness on opening day the show will be up for about a month and I think the gallery keeps pretty regular hours.

Sculptures

This next set is a couple sculptures I finished a little while ago. The crow is first, he's about 3 or 4 inches, but he looks really big to me in the picture. I was thinking he'd be cool to re-make life size. I could install him on a big branch and he could look like he's yelling at you when you walk by. Anyway.
The other one is a big snake, and that's about it. Hes one of the larger things I've made, measuring a whopping 7 inches tall. I learned a lot while making him, namely it's tough to get paper to curve like that. Hope you like em!

More Boxes




I haven't posted in a while since the internet was down at my house. I've got a sort of backlog of work, and something big-ish in the works, so I'll try and keep up from now on.

I was working on the first image for a while. I had the pieces finished, but the frame wasn't coming together the way I liked. It's finished now, and I like it.

The next piece is loosely based on the puzzle: find a little red house with no doors and no windows, and a star inside. The answer is an apple, because the seed casings make a star pattern when you cut it in half cross-wise. Anyway, this little old lady figured out the riddle, and moved in. Adding a door and window for convenience.
