I really hate wood ticks. Absolute hate them. Illustrating this from source files has certainly squicked me out. My unease is your enjoyment.

Duck & Cover Woodblock Print
Continuing with the series of Someone Else’s Problems, I wanted to explore the hidden fears we have manifested ourselves or have been nutured through media and government warnings. Rational or not, we believe that such things are possible and are present in our daily lives regardless of how stastically improbable it really is. 8 color […]
Show & Tell Woodblock Print
It didn’t start with Columbine, and it will continue to stir controversy each time it occurs. This furthers the woodblock print series on Someone Else’s Problem in regards to fear. I don’t feel that this is the strongest of the series in regards to final presentation. There is something a bit lacking and I’m unsure […]
Saints & Sinner Woodblock Print
The world around us is filled with many things that we can not observe. People have their personal thoughts, unknown activities happen behind closed doors, contents of boxes remain undiscovered. The author Douglas Adams once wrote about this: SEPs, otherwise known as “someone else’s problems.” You can’t observe them directly; you really need to take […]
Stuffed Animal Chair
I’d like to say this matches the rest of the decor, but it most likely doesn’t. Unless one had the room of an eight year old girl with posters of ponies and the stray, feral Barbie laying around, this piece of furniture is going to stand out just a bit. wire frame chair and blue […]
Urban Fireflies
Having come from the Midwest, where fireflies are a summer treat, I greatly missed them when I moved to California. I wanted to capture the idea of having fireflies in a Mason jar, but without all the needless insect death. The jar contains the circuit, lights, and a solar cell to recharge the batteries. A […]
SugarCube House

The SugarCube House is an art project created at the Burning Man festival, based on patent-pending new wood construction technology. It is an open-ended, wooden structure that is made of plywood and manufactured wood I-joists to be […]
Yup-Yup Jacket
Inspired by a couple of aliens on the Muppets on Sesame Street. Maybe you recall them: “Telephone?” “Brrrriiiiiiiiiiing. Briiiiiiiiiiiiing. Yup, yup, yup, yup, yup.” It’s over ten yards of cuddly fleece. Ten very warm yards of cuddly fleece. fleece fabric
Suction Cup Jacket
This jacket sucks! Honestly, it really does due to the 1,000 suction cups attached to it. Is there a purpose? Aww, heck no! Look, it’s 1,000 suction cups attached to a jacket. Do you need more reason than that? You can pretend you are a super hero of some sort: SuctionLad or MultitudeOfVacuumPointsGirl. Okay, it […]
Stuffed Animal Pants
Avert your eyes if you collect Beanie Babies. I’ve attached over 150 of the suckers to a pair a pants. Very cushy and stupidly heavy. I get assualted by youngin’s and those pretending to be young. Thousands of dollars of someone’s previous collection turned into silly art. black pants and stuffed animals
Leaving No Trace
In a given day, we dispose of random detritus that we no longer want. In a pristine environment, it is even more visible and important that it is dealt with in an appropriate manner. Just a quote from the Burning Man web site: “Trash is not something most of us think about. We live in […]
Blind Patriotism Woodblock Print
Something has always bothered me: folks who don’t think. It’s easy enough to follow the crowd and support what ever cause seems good, but it takes a strong person to think for themselves and come to support their own position. I may not agree with your stance, and I’ll respect you more for your convictions […]
