Washington DC

I went downtown today which is a rare treat.  I rode the Metro and explored some art in the Smithsonian.  Its good to get outside of your comfort zone every now and again.

Digital Art Tonight

David Levinthal

I am fascinated by the work of photographer David Levinthal.  I have been thinking about how to set up my own little dioramas to take pictures of.  Today I experimented with some toys and some interesting backgrounds.  I’m pleased with the results!

Just A Regular Day

At this point I take a camera with me wherever I go.  Just to see what I might find.  Today was just a day to chill at a friends pool and, per usual, I found some interesting photos.

A Painted Background

I finished a commission last night.  Paintings aren’t something I have been working on lately and it was fun to play with paint for a while.  Maybe I could make a painted background piece and then layer portraits on top of it?  Not a bad idea.  This is what I worked on tonight including the commission….

Something New?

I know why I want new images each night.  Because I have grown up in a culture where we are bombarded with imagery all the time.  Television, magazines, movies, and now the internet.  Obviously this is not a new concept that other artists haven’t explored over and over again, Warhol and Lichtenstein come to mind and there are scores of others.  I too want to find the ‘something new’ in each day.

More dollhouse furniture..

Doll House Furniture

This is the first installation in a series I want to explore using doll house furniture.

some vintage images

I want to make the ordinary extraordinary.

As an artist I fit all the stereotypes.  A sense of obsession.  A lens thru which I look at life every day.

I want to make the ordinary the extraordinary.
