I will be in an awesome group show on October 11th at the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg, CA. I will be bringing some past 2D work, but my goal for now is to create altered art 3D pieces that reflect a Goth/Steampunk/Sideshow  Circus feel. Here is my first piece in the show:

"Fée Japonais"
[Japanese Fairy: French]
Altered Art Box
Handmade Fairy Sculpture [Removable from Wood Box]
[Polymer Clay, Black Bead, Found Feathers,
Black Yarn, Twine, Acrylic Paint]
Approx 1.25" x 13"
Vintage Japanese Fan Box [Approx 2"x 2" x 2 x 16"]
Found dead Black Bumble Bee and Dried Flowers

Gotta Love the 80s Music Series! Original Illustrations and 2015 Calendar!

Wow, it has been awhile since I've updated my blog. I've been hard at work creating 12 illustrations for my "Gotta Love the 80s Music" Series. This series combines some of my favorite 80s music icons with 80s technology. I had the goal in mind of  creating a Calendar for 2015. I'm so happy I was able to finish before I start concentrating on my next show at the Old Sugar Mill in October :) Here is a link to the whole series of original art including the calendar:
