tuesdays

.
it is tuesday. i am at my shop on tuesdays - ithacamade.com  so this is the place to find my work, and sometimes me... it's a long day so i suggest you get a cup of coffee at gimme and come visit. i like mine with cream, but not too light. i will be filling the place up within the next couple of weeks with some fun furnishings. it helps to feel like spring if you are out walking carrying a cup of coffee and try not to over dress, although everyone i see is zipped up right to the neck. i did have two wonderful customers in today that spent a long time looking at everything....they said "it's hard to leave" (all the art).

february

this is a possible cd cover idea for a 7o's rock group called the glass prism. the big hit that they had was called "the raven" by poe. they are about to release a new album with new version of the song. i first made a quick sketch, now this is a painting version.
i have titled the post februaury, because it is always my most creative month. i feel like a groundhog by now so this is the way for me to see my own shadow......deep.

owl

my show comes down the 24th of dec.so here is a portion of a large panel. this owl actually sits atop one of two mountains.h.moleski took photos of the show and they are edited in a way that adds yet another layer and focus to the story. A poster of this image is in the works, should be available next week. the words that go with this image is "wishes come true".

see change

i have a new show coming up at the Community Arts Partnership located in Center Ithaca - opens this coming Friday- Dec. 3rd 5-8 pm and runs through December. This show is about a deep knowing. I know what it means for me, but what will it mean to the viewer.  a  visual story i was compelled to tell on large panels with connecting poetic lines. what i hope is that you will feel, shift, like in a lyric or music in a song.

portrait

a while back i had posted a sketch of a portrait i was doing of a chicken. and yes it is hanging over the mantlepiece and it is very large. the clients just sent me a photo of lola and her portrait. lola is dangling from a jolly jumper because she can not walk. is this the greatest??

cat

cats, i can't stop making them lately. this is a piece of furniture ( a bar). it lives at ithacamade-a new cool shop located in the old bishops building on west state st .i also made cats suspended in mid-air, and as a totem and a sculpture. this is a good way to have more than one cat.

beyond

look beyond.  a friend gave me five panels and i am making a series based on my new favorite word-beyond. i just think that is the cutest fish ever. i am the sign of the fish, usually going in two different directions and very deep. so see how wonderful it is to pop your head out from the depths and look into the moon.
