Laser Cutting Sketches
I have been experimenting on the laser cutter over at the Architecture department lately. I may stink like a synthetic BBQ afterwards, but the results have been interesting and I am beginning to see where it might take my work conceptually. Here is one test that I was visually pretty happy with. I’m hoping to ...
MAKE8ELIEVE Issue #1 – Dinosaurs!
I’m very excited to have 2 works included in the first issue of MAKE8ELIEVE, an online magazine, born of a collaboration between two artists, Michelle Marie Murphy (Ohio) and Baptiste Lefebvre (a.k.a. Cetusss) (Switzerland). There goal is to “build international connections by publishing creative interpretations of one topic per issue. We believe we can organize ...
New Sizes
We finally got a new large-format printer at Louisiana Tech, so I’m revamping my newer work to take advantage of the scale. I am LOVING the results. Here is an example of the scale change (old on bottom, new on top). The grids remain at one inch, and the typewriter text also remains typewriter size ...
ACP Reviews and impromptu interviews
I just got back from Atlanta less than an hour ago. It was a great weekend and I’ll write more about it very soon, but in the meantime there is a video here at the very awesome ArtRelish.com . Watch and keep in mind that interviews are not something I often conduct.
Save your foam
I'm kicking myself right now. It's a good thing I've started biking more and have some new leg strength because I want to feel this. For years, like many of you, I stored my assortment of computer, television, printer, and general electronic boxes and packaging just in case I needed to send it somewhere or ...
Diamonds are Forever
So it's cliche', and not the greatest Bond movie ever, but this is one phrase that happens to be fairly accurate. A diamond, as most people know, is the hardest material currently known. Thanks to its molecular lattice structure and being formed from graphite a diamond is said to be metastable, as well as kinetically ...
Sciency Santa Fe
A little less than a year ago I was enjoying myself in the hectic and humbling environment at Review Santa Fe. Meeting the artists behind the work I loved, like the Chicagraphers , and new friends, like Todd and John , as well as unbeknownst future co-workers like Joy . Before I ever considered even ...
Getting Psyched
I am finally getting around to reading the recent Aperture and am happy to report that it has been getting me pretty psyched up for the upcoming weeks ahead. Next week, a quick trip to Louisiana and the week after that presenting an Imagemaker lecture at SPE's National Conference in Miami. The last month in ...
animal companions
This began some time ago, in Santa Fe, when I first met the Chicagraphers. I was already a fan of much of their work, but it was the first time that I saw Brian Ulrich's terrific break room photographs. For those of you unfamiliar with this body of work I highly suggest visiting Brian's site ...
