"The Student Tower"

More than most of my work, this one is left open to interpretations. I don't mean that as a cop-out, or anything. For me, this piece represents what the last two years have been like (As a student with the strange acrobatics of work weighing down on my shoulders as well as my peers.) Still, I like to think other people can get more than just one person's story from this image.

The piece spans nearly floor to ceiling so to get more of the full effect click the images for a full view if you like.

More pictures to come in coming weeks. I don't photograph often but I tend to do these things all a once. Thanks for looking. 

"Water Break with Bow-Flex"

This painting runs with lots of the themes I try to keep consistent in my work. I really had a blast on this one.

Ecroche

Ecroche is the making of a figure piece by piece using anatomical modeling of the individual forms. In this case, the bones were completed and then the muscles were sculpted on. I've learned quite a lot since I started this.

Here's some photos from a little after the first stage:

 

And here's where it is now:

 

There's always more work to be done. The model's right side was developed further while the left shows the deeper muscles. Eventually, I'd like to get more symmetry.   

New Winter Paintings

Its been a great while since I've been on here. Everything seems like preparation lately. I really like where some of these preparations are going. For now, here's some new pieces:

"Nude in a Chair"

"Fighting Man"

"The Happy Self-Portrait"

Female Figures Nov.-Dec. 2010

 

"Three Views of Purgatory"

This was my final for the semester. A week ago I thought it was done, though at the moment I'm calling it a work in progress. For now, I'm still happy with where its going. Special thanks to all the models you guys are awesome.

 

 

I never used to take detail photos of my pieces but they're becoming more and more common. I think its a good thing.

Two Teapots

I'm real busy on the final. I'll post it when its done. For now, here's some teapots:
