News...

I have some work on display at Projekt 30! I stumbled upon their site a few months ago while researching network opportunities. Projekt 30 hosts profiles of all different types of artists, from painters to photographers and anywhere in between. They run monthly juried shows for their online gallery (where my work can currently be seen), aiming to connect artists with galleries across the country.

In other show news, I'm a finalist in the international Donkey Art Prize competition!


The piece shown above will be exhibited at the Hamilton Gallery in Los Angeles in June. So excited!!!! More information can be found here. Click on News for a full schedule and an online preview of the show. My work can be seen in the Digital Art selection.

Gold Things Don't Scan Well

I've had a huge work boom in the last week. My apartment is a mess of pulp and little strips of cut paper... and I love it! I've been experimenting with some metallic papers, which creates a whole mess of problems. This paper is extremely delicate. Even a single finger print will make a dark, oily spot, ruining a possible work of art. They also don't take ink very well, as it tends to clump together as it's drying.

But after working out all those kinks, the hardest thing was getting a decent picture of it! My poor scanner couldn't handle the shine, and spit out a pixelated blue (blue?) image. I decided to try using my camera. Lighting was key, as any light source gets reflected and distorts the picture. I tried and tried, and am still not completely happy with the file, but as Mike Myers would say "I love goooooooooold!"
