Holiday Gifts: Great Book: Julian Beever




















I was in my local bookstore and thumbed through this book and was amazed. Julian Beever is crazy. His 3 dimensional mind bending pavement art is something to see.

Thanksgiving Foam Turkey

 Although Thanksgiving is over, I'm still thinking about turkey.  Here's a job I did for the 11th Street Workshop where I sculpted a 10 ft. tall  foam turkey for a magazine photo shoot.  I think I will see this turkey in my dreams.....

Production Design for Low Budget Film




I recently made a short film called "Art Space" with my friends. Sets were designed and built with very little money to do so. Much of the materials were salvaged items from the street and others were scraps in my shop. I converted my shop into a makeshift soundstage complete with a 2x4 and broomstick lighting grid. Craft services was off to the side on my table saw.
I made a paper mache tree, a mobile, cut out paper birds and a lot of other props & set pieces with found materials. It just goes to show that a lot of great things can be made and found with very little expense to anything but the imagination.

Interversion- Montreal


I recently visited a great store called Interversion in Montreal.
They are a furniture/design store that sells local artists' work.
They offer custom made pieces.
One artist named Louis Laprise makes a really cool one of a kind table.
Check it out.
