some sketchbook pages :

some hairy drawings on paper :

and some paintings in the works on canvas & wood :

a lot of things going on this month, so i've been working a lot,

although many of the pieces in progress (some even documented) have been brewing

for months in different stages, stalled, painted over, restarted, mulled.

some faint, near transparent new shapes & ideas seem to be slowly forming in my head,

i just need to find that thin, cloudy thread and start pulling at it...

.....................................................

also some follow up to the Dear Japan show last weekend :

turn out looked great and the show was successful!

they raised over $10k with art all less than $200.

some of my favorite pieces from what were still there when i got there :

Miwa Koizumi (one of the show organizers)'s amazing PET plastic bottle sculpture.

i've seen her works at her place before, but this was amazing.

and a new artist i found via this show - Kazuki Guzman, who made these tiny little sculpture

figures with needled felt and nut shells. there was another one i failed to photograph other

than this little peanut shell bunny, which was a walnut shell airplane dude.

so cute & amazing!
