a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… I sculpted a little Big Daddy Roth figure for this “Rat Racer” custom Rat Fink. The Rat Racer was a smarmy, fast talking hustler in the business of selling Ed Roth action figures. He was also destroyed in shipping after a group show. The little 4 inch Roth figure was salvage-able, I made a rubber mold of it, made a resin casting and painted it. I’m auctioning this little figure, now live at my link
😳WOW🫨!! THANK YOU to those of you who have bid on this piece. Today is the last chance to secure this one-of-a-kind piece I sculpted, by myself. Auction ends to tonight - see link
I’ve probably sculpted about 500 different figures and characters since I made this one. I’m keeping a few important, choice early pieces for my archive. I felt like this one deserved a better home than a box collecting dust in my basement. So I’ve done some restoration, built him a new re-close-able blister pack, wrote up a Letter of Authenticity, and I’m now auctioning him off to the highest bidder. I don’t know where he’ll end up or how much he’ll go for. But I decided it was time for me to let go. Auction ends soon - see my link
I thought I could compete with the new (now old) ultra articulating action figures that came out around the turn of the century when I made this piece. Turns I couldn’t, really. Also turns out those ultra posable figures would be the beginning of the last wave of real action figure production on earth. They still inspired my work. And my work lives on. I think kids should still use their hands to play with physical toys that inspire and express narrative and storytelling, I still think adults should be able to hold, handle and interact with art. This Spidey piece is a living artefact of all of this. Up for auction now at my link
not AI’d. I sculpted this 6” tall, 24-piece articulating figure - aka “action figure” - from glow-in-the-dark polymer clay with steel & elastic internal armatures to make him pose-able. Auctioning him off at my bio link.
Wow!!! I’m super grateful to those of you who’ve bid on this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️THANK YOU❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️The shock of battling so many different symbiotes & avatars from other dimensions has bleached Spidey white. He’s up for auction - at my link
auctioning an important piece in the evolution of a sculptor & toy maker. This 24-piece articulating “Spidey the White” figure was one of the very first action figures I ever made. Auction is now live - at my link
❤️❤️❤️❤️THANK YOU❤️❤️❤️❤️ really: Thak You🫶🏽🫶🏻🫶🏿 to those of you who’ve bid on this. Today is the last chance to pick up this pick I painted with enamel, and mounted in a custom wall frame. Auction ends tonight - at my link
converting a found object into “art” is about the context. The framing. Literally. So I “framed” my hand-painted Jimmy Page guitar pick to auction off - in my bio link
anything can be a “canvas” for art, and I also look for small things to fit my skill set. I like miniature things. Why not portraits of rock stars on guitar picks? So I painted this tiny 1.3 x 1.3 inch one by hand. There’s only one. Up for auction at my link
the reason I made this piece is because I feel like art can be anywhere. On clocks, plates, cups, candles, books, everything is a canvas for art. But not just “art” that’s printed on an object and mass produced. I painted this guitar pick by hand. No AI. No reproductions. No printing. Painting. And I’m currently auctioning this piece for sale - see my link
at my link - I made an acrylic pick-shaped frame for this guitar pick, currently up for auction. Check it
just went live auctioning my hand painted Jimmy pick. Found plastic 1.3 x 1.3” guitar pick I painted with a tiny enamel portrait of Jimmy Page with his double necked Gibson. Auction just went live - link in my bio.
get to Vashon Center for the Arts @vashoncenter today & tomorrow, the last 2 days of my “Good Buy! Cruel World” art exhibit full of holiday gift possibilities. Don’t buy a corporate product. Buy from a working artist.
“Good Buy! Cruel World” ends tomorrow
Don’t say good bye. Say, “Good buy!”
All details at my bio link
hand made ornaments @vashoncenter now til Sunday
LAST CHANCE: the gift shop, my ornaments & my “Good Buy! Cruel World” art show come down this Sunday. Get to @vashoncenter before then to snag one & get your shopping started right by supporting a local artist
start off the shopping season with a well placed middle finger to corporations. Two things can be true at once: you can buy gifts for loved ones, and not destroy the world at the same time. My “juice boxes” made from corporate waste are available during the last days of my “Good Buy! Cruel World” art show @vashoncenter until this Sunday Nov.30 - see my bio link.
I kinda wish I didn’t have so much going on at my opening because I missed moments like this. And if you missed the show entirely so far, your last chance is this weekend. “Good Buy! Cruel World” @vashoncenter ends Nov.30.
Last chance to see my “Good Buy! Cruel World” show before it ends this Sunday. I don’t have another show booked. I’m not quitting or retiring, but you never know. I have nothing else lined up. This could be the last time my work is seen out in public if not ever, for a very long time
we estimated something like 300 people at the opening of “Good Buy! Cruel World” @vashoncenter but I was too engrossed in conversation to pull my phone out and take pictures. Anyone have any pics from the Nov.7 opening? Feel free to DM or post & tag me
