Arthropodia

Just finished a new piece, this one is a bit different in that I decided to experiment with watercolors in combination with my usual pen and ink, and I really love the effect.  I titled this one Arthropodia, I think I am on a bit of a centipede-ish kick at the moment. 

This piece will be up for auction at the Loma Prieta School District "Magic on the Mountain Gala", be sure to check out the art table and get your bid in!

Exquisite Corpse

A quick shout out about the Exquisite Corpse exhibit at Kaleid, through July 27th - worth a look see if you have a chance.  I did a pair of legs, which in my world have to have claws and gangly bits on them:

Arthropod

Oh wow, it's been awhile, hasn't it?  I've been on a bit of a hiatus due to getting distracted with kids, health, life, etc, but am starting to crawl back from the brink and have even been playing around with doing some more sculptural work again, finally.  This latest piece was an experiment with polymer clay - I've been trying to find materials to work with that are a bit more flexible as far as being able to work with them while watching the kids, working in smaller/scattered chunks of time, and being able to drop it to deal with whatever chaos is going on and return to it when peace and tranquility has been restored.  The polymer clay seems to fit the bill at the moment, and after some experimenting, I have some other ideas I want to explore with it, to see how far I can push it.  Anyhow, this is my latest piece:
