Sneak Peeks


So, I was thinking about how I could maintain my blog update on a timely schedule the other day.  Then I thought, perhaps you all might like to see some of the other art I do and how I start off.  One of the kinds of things I really enjoy is a mixed media kind of piece.  Ones that allow me to sculpt and put found or constructed parts and pieces together.  Icons have always been a favorite format.  So, to kind of explore a new type of approach for a really big project I am planning.  I decided to create a small series of Icons or in that vain.

The above picture is the very beginnings of one.  I am still working on the hands and feet.  It will most likely be a saint of some sort that I find humorous.  Not that saints are necessarily humorous.  But, I am a kind of twisted sort of guy, so I put my spin on things.  Anyway, I started with a flat art panel that is six by twelve inches.  Glued the face and circuit board to it with apoxy paste.  Then I am applying apoxie sculpt to it to make the connecting pieces like the neck.  It will receive all sorts of surface treatments and painting layers before calling it finished.


Here is a panel that is truly at stage one.  It is a cradled art panel which means it has sides, and is covered with a piece of Zodiac themed fabric I found a few years back.  It was one of the last remaining pieces of fabric I have now.  It somehow managed to inspire a saint which will have a Zodiac theme.  So, besides the occasional fantasy creature that will pop out from time to time, this summer will be spent on exploring the icons.  I hope you stay tuned for the progress reports.
