Sawflower - poor quality circular saw blades, frame springs, copper wire, nuts, bolts, terra cotta, plaster and soil; I made five of these for a reason other than the Halloweens for which they will surely be used

Clock - collage of newpaper and magazine images, acrylic paint, cork, one penny, screws, tabs, fortunes, and woodblock prints; Clown + Bodies + Pomeranian + Skulls + Time = On My Wall

Hand - wire, nuts, bolts, copper joints, etc; my hands hurt the next day after making this, which may one day receive the arm I intended for it...

the bog woman - the muddy corpse woman thing from the bog...

Run-Over-Me Elmo - Elmo, gelatin, pasta, acrylic paint, hot dogs; Elmo song.. Elmo fish Dorothy.. Elmo dance.. Damn it, I loathe Elmo. Elmo had to go. Elmo had to die. So I ran over Elmo with my car. Murder Elmo. Roadkill Elmo. Dead Elmo.

Hermes Da Vinci - leather, compressed particle material, wood, paper, glue; Project for Design class assignment "Cinderella's Revenge" - Concept: What Hermes Sandals might look like if designed by Leonardo Da Vinci.

The Meat Loafer - paper mache, acrylic paint, meatloaf pan, fresh parsley; Project for Design class assignment "Cinderella's Revenge" - Concept: Word Play on the combination of Meatloaf with the Loafer style of shoe.

Figure 13 - latex, acrylic, ink, pine, cedar, particle board, copper, steel, paper, felt, glue, polyurethane; regarding the issue of colony collapse disorder among honey bees and its far-reaching effects on agriculture, utilizing elements of muscle contraction theoretical models in producing a pattern that progressively breaks down as an analogue to the pollenation workforce's own crumbling strength

The Rhinosurreal - appropriated toy rhinoceros, meat thermometer, paper mache, acrylic paint; surreal exploitation of a found object, as per the project guidelines for a visual arts class.
The Rhinosurreal from Another Angle

Los Muertos Borrachos - paper mache, fire, acrylic paint, polyurethane; I made this set of six silly martini-swigging skeletons a few weeks before The Kingdom of Loathing launched its first El Dia de Los Muertos Borrachos, so I took it on as the title, since I had been lost for one. The project for which these produced stipulated small art objects that would fit into an Art-o-Mat machine, which is a repurposed cigarette vending machine that dispenses - wait for it! - small art objects. I should probably send one to Jick one of these days.

Seated Woman, After Picasso - cardboard, hot glue, acrylic paint; I'm not fond of Picasso, so when we were assigned to produce a three-dimensional representation of a Cubist piece, and the most interesting one I saw was a Picasso, I made several endeavors to separate my piece from Picasso's painting, notably with a change of pose and more intensely cubist shaping.
You can see the original Picasso painting at this site entitled Woman Seated from 1908. 800 x 600 version

irgendwahn - the art book made with the poem of the same name, 14 wood panel pages designed, illustrated, painted, and extremely polyurethaned

Coily Candle Cave - Ceramics - white dogwood clay with red streaks from extrusion; first ceramic thing I've made in like twelve years, so I wanted to start small with a roughly coffee-can-sized votive candle holder ... but it looks sorta like a cave house thing.

Nude Tubby Dude Incense Burner : Perspective 1, Perspective 2 - white dogwood clay, mixed glazes, vanilla incense; this seemed really funny to me.

Three Little Deaths : Spooky View, Well-Lit View - white dogwood clay, mixed glazes; this seemed really badass rad to me.

Skulls : A Serving of Skulls, Skulls Relaxing - white dogwood clay, mixed glazes; this seemed ultra badass rad to me. This summer I will make a checkers set like these.

Le Petite Morte - white dogwood clay, mixed glazes; a closer-up view of the one that I think came out the best.

Wretched Head - white dogwood clay, mixed glazes; this is essentially a rough draft model of something that I will build larger this summer.

Stygian Shark : Swimming Toward, Swimming Away - white dogwood clay, mixed glazes, acrylic paint; the pictures do not quite do this piece justice, so here's a little visual walk-through. Everything glazed (shiny, irregular blue and grey) would be the "skin" or surface of the shark, while everything purple is recessed - crevices, gaps and such - where the "flesh" is "missing" and there are a lot of "quotation marks" thrown around the place.

Dangly Bones - white dogwood clay, earthenware slip paint, clear glaze; the second attempt at a string skeleton. SUCCESS.
The Full Frontal View
