I’m excited to be part of a 3 artist show with the talented @danielcurranart and @ryshu! Journey to Terra Flora will feature new work based on an imagined journey to an alien planet dominated by plant life. It opens July 13th at Galleria Regina. RSVP for sneak peaks!
This Sunday May 5th, 1pm Eastern time, the last two Very Berry Gumheads go up for sale on my shop page here. If you missed Kaiju Cult, here’s your chance! $90 free shipping with coupon code GUMWAD, comes with a mini print.
Teeth are one of my favorite things to sculpt (if you hadn’t already guessed). I think it’s because it’s the tiniest thing on a tiny thing. Gumhead heads are about an inch wide.
Here’s a peak into the needle felting process. Felt is a non-woven textile that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together. Felting needles have notches along the shaft that grab the top layer of fibers and tangle them inward as the needle enters the wool. Over time, the loose fibers are compacted into a near solid form that can be shaped by adding tufts of wool and poking repeatedly. In other words, magic.

I do a lot of different kinds of jobs as a freelance artist. Because I’m lucky, often those jobs are tiny and cute. Here’s a video of me pouring a mold for the talented @tinydoorsatl. I can’t wait to see the final reveal! 🌤🌥

Very Berry Gumhead
Gumheads are elemental spirits. They begin as forgotten wads of gum, stuck under tables and chairs. Most bubblegum is ordinary, but every once in a while, through a twist of fate (and a little saliva), old gumwads awaken as mischievous sprites.Sticky and malleable, they love to steal and hoard tiny objects. They’ve got your DNA in them, but gumheads aren’t always friendly. They have a penchant for chaos when left unattended, but are easily won over with gifts and attention. Under the right circumstances, gumheads are fun companions and can bring good luck and adventure

I just saw Harold and the Purple Crayon at the Center for Puppetry Arts It’s such a fun story! I feel lucky that I get to work with so many talented artists making cool stuff. The show runs April 2 – May 26. Check it out with your kiddos!
“A curious young boy has the power to create anything he can imagine, simply by drawing it with his oversized purple crayon. The Center for Puppetry Arts is thrilled to announce the world premiere our original adaptation of Harold and the Purple Crayon. Based on the beloved book series by Crockett Johnson, this production combines the latest in projection technology with blacklight puppetry to enable Harold to create his world live on stage – in real time. From enchanted gardens to a circus and wild ride to the moon, see where Harold and his crayon can take you!”
This is a control panel I built for an episode of Doom Patrol featuring marionettes and tiny props made by the talented artists of @zombiecatbuilds 🛠. The panel is 13.75 inches tall. You can stream Doom Patrol on DC Universe 🖤

This is an ink drawing from 2010. When I look back through old work, I I find themes and repetitions that tie everything together. It’s all a part of the same thought, spanned over a lifetime…Any of my artist friends have the same experience? Or has your work changed so dramatically that it all feels new?
I’m new to video editing, but starting to have fun with it. The learning never stops!
Taking abstract photos of my creature art is my favorite thing. I love the unexpected details, micro landscapes revealed by new angles.
