"Slinky Self Portrait" Update

A good evening to my loyal, devoted friends, fans, and family. This is just a note to update the previous post about the Slinky Machine (which, by the way, is now entitled "Slinky Self Portrait.") It is currently on display at BYU's Harris Fine Arts Center on the south 5th floor landing. It will be up from now til February 13th. During that time it will run every other hour for an hour on the hour. Come see it! Let me know what you think. Check out the other awesome exhibits there at the HFAC. While you're in town, go see what's happening at the Museum of Art, just next door to the HFAC. But mostly, come see Slinky Self Portrait while it is still in town.

Heaven & Hell

This is another retroactive post. I finished these two works about five months ago. They are meant to be a diptych of Heaven and Hell. Enjoy.

Slinky Machine-- Working Title

This is a sculpture I finished a few months ago. I don't have a title for it yet, but it is going to be shown at the Harris Fine Arts Center at BYU. It will be on the north fifth floor landing from Tuesday, 25 January 2009 for about a month, so come take a look. There is a little preview video at the bottom of the post (sorry if it takes a while to load.)

Human Trap

This is a piece I made for a group show in the Central Utah Arts Center sculpture garden. The show was entitled "Enclosure" and all the works kind of fit that theme. Mine was a 6' tall, 4' wide, 2' deep box trap (like the kind they use in the cartoons). It is propped up on a stick with a "crisp, clean, (false) $100 bill" dangling from the inside. I wanted it to be funny, but also give people second thoughts about going in and snagging the $100.

Parachute Soldier

Here is a small sculpture I finished just before Christmas. It is about 10" tall, 6" wide, and 3" deep. The parachute soldier was cast in bronze from a real plastic toy and is draped over the nail-studded board.

Obligatory "First Post" Post

This is a blog about my art. This is the first post on said blog. Hopefully, this blog has a long and illustrious life, unlike other blogs I have had in the past. For me, blogs are kind of like county fair goldfish: they're easy to come by, but hard to keep alive. I suppose this blog will be alive as long as I am making art to post on it, so let's hope it stays alive for a long time. I'm also going to post other people's art that I think is cool, so that's some more flakes in this county fair goldfish's tank.
