My friend, accomplished figurative ceramist Misty Gamble, teaches Foundations at the Kansas City Art Institute agreed to model for me wearing her powder-blue faux fur jacket. She was super-animated and great to work with and for. I don’t really know ‘why’, but it seemed to me that a deep green paper color would suit this […]
Exhibition: Personal Effects at Kemper Museum
Personal Effects exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art March 23–October 12, 2012 This exhibition, drawn from works of art in the Kemper Museum’s permanent collection, explores the portrait and the still life as depictions of objects imbued with both personal meaning and wider cultural iconography. The memory of an activity stilled, a hint that someone […]
Carlos Pen and Ink Drawing 75 x 45 inches
My friend, Kim Weinberger told me that her friend, Carlos Hernandez, had admired my work at the America Now and Here show and wanted to model for me – she introduced us over drinks and… Well Carlos is a great looking guy and the following weekend he came to my studio to model for me. […]
pen and ink drawing of Miguel Rivera
Miguel Rivera is chair of printmaking at the Kansas City Art Institute. He is a wonderful teacher – gentle and thoughtful. He has a great face and as soon as we met I asked if he’d model for a portrait. You can learn all about Miguel and see some of his work on his web […]
A Chandelier for Cecily and Mike
December 23, 2011 — just barely in time for Christmas — I completed this cool chandelier for my daughter and son-in-law’s dining room table.
Coffee Table for Jen and Chad
My niece and nephew asked me to make a coffee table 24 x 24 inches and 14 inches high for their living room. I think they really meant 24 x 36 inches, so I’m gonna have to make another it seems. Still, there’s something wicked cool about this one — aluminum top and silver-gilded turned […]
Danson pen and ink drawing 81 x 42 inches white and black pen on paper tinted rich brown
Drawing of my friend Danson – again, white and black ink pen on tinted paper. In this piece, I really LOVE the color I painted on the paper. It was so luscious I hesitated to draw over it. I’ve been layering up these colors, mixing pigment suspensions in water and using a spritzer to apply […]
“Scotty” pen and ink drawing 92 x 45 inches on watercolor tinted paper
Artist Archie Scott Gobber generously agreed to model for me. We had a pretty good time together — I’d asked him to bring along something of his work and I was thinking he’d bring something large I could place behind him when I photographed him. He brought some very small stuff, actually and I got […]
Exhibition: America Now and Here – Kansas City
Famous artist Eric Fischl and film-producer Donald Rosenfeld were in Kansas City to select work for the Kansas City Collection and selected my work. At the same time, Eric introduced the idea of America Now and Here and included my “Michael” drawing in the America Now and Here show the following year.
PVC Heat Shrink Baren Cover
From time to time it’s been difficult to obtain quality takenokawa (bamboo husk) for recovering my barens. For some time I’ve wondered about alternative materials for baren covers, especially about using heat shrink tubing. I bought some six inch wide clear layflat PVC heat shrink tubing (12 inch circumference), cut a length about 2 1/2 […]
