more cardboard art

this is another piece of cardboard for gallery night , this friday!. there will also be a bunch of flying remnants. this particular piece is about two feet square , so it's like a tray and all of my cardboard art fits within for easy transport. it can hang on the wall and you may also use it as a shelf, for a few light tidbits. i did try making a lifesize cardboard character to sit at the desk, but had a few technical difficulties. like what? well it just looked like a piece of cardboard that folds, propped up. it really bothered me so i had to recycle her. but i have ideas.............

cardboard art

more cardboard please. this coming gallery night (fri. may 6th) at ithacamade i will be featuring recycled cardboard characters. the image shown is a newscaster. wouldn't it be great to own your own newscaster, something very charming about cut-out cardboard. just got a great idea to make him lifesize and have him bend and sitting at the breakfast table. stay tuned.....more characters to come.

real

this photo was sent to me by shannon, the new owner of the cardboard man flying above her bed. originally the cardboard man was just a window display, now he has a new life as "ART" !  below is a photo of him in his former life.  i feel like the cardboard man is now "real", like in the velveteen man (rabbit). funny how art can make you feel real, present and transformed.

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.
