From the time I created Soundwave, I knew that I wanted to make a mini version of it. Made from reclaimed fence wood, Mini-Soundwave measures 3 feet wide and is 19 inches at its tallest point.
A couple of more shots…
Mini-Soundwave
Pride Flag
This is the first installment of LGBT awareness pieces I created. This one is simply called Pride Flag and again is based on the Pride Flag designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978. It measures 34″ by 18″ and is 2″ thick. With the exception of the backboard, this is entirely made with reclaimed fence wood.
Pixelated Pride
I had a hard time trying to capture the brightness of my latest piece. It measures 16″ by 16″. There are 961 pieces, all hand painted one by one! It is all made from reclaimed fence wood. This is the second installment of a series I’m doing based on the Pride Flag designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978. I’ll post the first one once I finally get around to photographing it.
This one shows off the shine!
Here are a couple of shots before the glue-up! So many little blocks!
Art Show – Sacramento, CA – The Alley – Old Soul Co.
I’d like to invite everyone to my first art showing! There will be a reception with delicious Hor d’voures at the Old Soul Co. on September 10, 2016 from 6pm to 9pm! If you can’t make it on that date, you may still see my art displayed through September. However, if you can make it, I would love to share toast with you celebrating my art debut. Feel free to invite friends and family! I’m excited to showcase my work!
Branches
I was inspired to make this as I was looking out my window and noticed how the window framed the tree outside. I didn’t see the trunk or the leaves; only the branches were visible. I sketched the vision best I could and came up with this piece. I used reclaimed fence wood strips glued up and cut and carved out the rest. It measures 70.5 inches by 18.5 inches and 1.25 inches thick.
Here is a shot of my sketch.
Here, I had just finished making all the rough cuts.
Nice and smooth.
And this is just after the top coat was applied.
