Walking in Oakland

2011-01-30T15:15:00.001-08:00

This is one of my favorite signs in Oakland. The building is also fantastic but I could not get a good shot that illustrated how weird the shape is.

Little plastic sculptures

2010-02-04T15:27:00.000-08:00

I made all of these by casting objects with cheep glue. The first image is a cast of an old plate from a news paper advertisement. The second is from a box of chocolates my mother gave me. The third is a cast plastic Easter egg, and the fourth is a cast Ball jar.

So I finally got my scanner up and working. Fuck you Kinkos (no really I love you). I shall be posting with much more frequency now. I tried to scan one of my drawings but I did a bad job (big surprise). Soon there shall also be more photocopies up, I am going to Kinkos today with that wall paper in the last post.

Wall paper from my Grandparents house.

I did this drawing a while ago after taking a flight. I have been thinking about it more recently after flying to MA.

I did a large (large for me 18"x20") drawing based on a sunset I saw while driving up to Oakland. The hills and sky were the same grey color, the only differentiation between them was a slit of red orange illuminating the mountains. These drawings are now about 3"x7".

The first two pictures were taken by Sam while I was driving up to Oakland. The sunsets in a creamy orange color often when I am driving to visit him. The last picture is a view from the cliffs of Big Sur.

A walk with Mary

2009-08-17T21:31:00.000-07:00

Me and Mary took a walk when she got back from Panama. Mary was very excited about the way the light looked because of the fire in the Santa Cruz mountains. I also found a few exciting things.

I went to Kinkos Today

2009-07-31T17:56:00.000-07:00

I went to Kinkos today to do a bit of scanning. I was unable to because these two broads were scanning an entire album of family photos. In any event, the Polaroids I was going to scan are totally awesome. For anyone that might be looking at my blog, please check back in two days time for an artgasim like you have never known.

Every morning I go over the San Lorenzo on my way to work. In the distance you can see the fog rolling off of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

I have a feeling the people at Kinkos hate me, or are going to once I continue this series with bananas and raspberry's and kiwi.

Fishing Box

2009-05-28T21:06:00.000-07:00

This is a small fishing lour box that belonged to my uncle Russie. Some how while using the color photocopier I made one black and white print come out (some people call me a brainiac). I was much more excited about the color print matched up with the black and white than it alone. I mess everything up a bit, so it is nice to know that I can make something out of it.

Foil!

2009-05-28T20:54:00.000-07:00

My mother sends me candy every year for Valentines and Easter. My favorite part is the foil. If you have looked at any of my older posts I am sure you will notice that it shows up all over. For me the most successful piece from this series of prints is the blown up foil titled "Bed sheets".

I wanted this one to be at the top of the post but I some how messed it up (not a surprise)

A few pieces from a project about my father

2009-05-27T13:44:00.000-07:00

Over the past few months I have been trying to get to know my father as an adult through the artifacts he left behind. There are more parts to this series, I will scan and post them soon.

"Small Progress"

I did this Photocopy a few months ago. I have about 10 like it. My intention was to make a composite of my fathers favorite sweater. After I got them home I ended up liking the individual copies more than the whole. I will hopefully be less lazy and scan the rest of them.

This is a Photocopy of my fathers Navel Uniform. I have titled it "Found in the Basement".

This is a photo album I found in my fathers storage unit a couple of years ago. I was filling it with small black on black drawings, but I have been less interested in drawing black on black images recently so I utilized it for this project. On the inside cover it says "Christmas 1901"

On going Collage project

2009-05-22T14:13:00.001-07:00

I started this project a while ago. I made one giant collage in my room about a year and a half ago. I ended up getting frustrated and tearing it down because I had no idea what I was doing. I decided to try and make a large print of it by photo copying all the segments when I was trying to document and finish a few pieces. After I copied the originals I was going to put them altogether for a giant piece, but they ended up looking much better as individuals, and much better than the first messy collages I made. It took about a year for me to figure this out because my brain is slow like molasses. I have continued to make collages with the express purpose of putting them in a book I am composing with the photocopies. I ended up with two halves of different collages making up each page. I am not sure how I feel about the whole thing right now, I have been more interested in photocopying objects. I will most likely finish this years from now.

More collages

2009-05-22T14:04:00.000-07:00

Wow more collages!

2009-05-22T14:01:00.000-07:00
