That’s Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) trying out for comfort my line of footwear. I was fortunate to get to work with Mike on his series “Returning the favor”, a reality show honoring do-gooders around the country. Mike led a parade float through downtown Conroe Texas, perched in that shoe! #foamart #art

A sphinx carved from EPS foam for a High School UIL one-act play competition. Normally I would deliver this project finished with paint and texture, but the director wanted his students to add their own creative ideas and make it their own. #foamart #sculpture #art

Installed the Jonah project at Church, in time for VBS (Vacation Bible School). Constructed of foam and paint, the 3D artwork shows the prophet Jonah emerging from the whale after three days in the belly of the beast! #art #painting #mural #3Dartwork

Installed this past weekend in the Church, this artwork promoting a summer program for the Children’s ministry was more challenging than hanging a painting on a wall. Like a 3D puzzle all the parts needed to be assembled, dovetailed together to create the illusion of Jonah emerging from the whale.

Another summer approaches, another VBS (Vacation Bible school) program begins… this year- the story of Jonah and his intrepid whale. Constructed of foam, and latex paint with some assembly required. #art #sculpture #painting

“It’s all about the Benjamins baby!” How much is enough? In our “struggle for the legal tender” we may forget that time is our greatest currency. Time to spend with our loved ones, our family, our friends. Or time spent chasing after the endless pursuit of more… #digitalart #illustration #art
