new sculpture

Flat Tire, hotglue/enamel sculpture

van in progress. has a flat tire. im not sure this app is working for me.

Time Collision World Cup

Slaying the Minotaur, hotglue/enamel

Tennessee Tuxedo and Chumley

Rock n Roll Ascension I and II

new stuff. some in my webshop.

Fastbreak Bounce Pass, hotglue/enamel another for the Time Fantasy series. With some brainwork you can get a sense of the depth in the composition. The dinos could be 15 ft tall, just behind enough to appear smaller. you get the idea.

Keystone paper weaving. making a bunch of thhese this summer. Probably compiling into a zine that includes one original weaving as the cover

another paper weaving. not fan art. just staring with whatever strikes me as interesting.

Tag Team Smokers. hotglue/enamel. second version of a sculpture i made a few months ago.

new in my webshop. Gravel Man w Smiley Pouch. hotglue/enamel. ☮️🕊️ Gravel Man is an earthy character in briefs and sporting a pouch for his minimal belongings. Trades beaded necklaces at music festivals. ✌️ #figurativeart #contemporaryart #figurativepainting #painting #expressionism #sculpture #art

The Best of Hulk Hogan, another weirdly rewarding paper weaving. this one is an old VHS cover. Im not into wrestling, just find the culture of it intriguing.
