I’ve been working on restoring this van for a few years. It’s been slow work since it’s my first project of this type and I’ve never really considered myself a mechanic. I’m hoping to make a lot of progress on it this summer so I’m going to start posting a bit about the process. Here […]

I’m in the process of updating my portfolio with lots of new work but in the meantime I figured I’d share some old news. I was cast to do 3 commercials a while back but somehow they never made it to my portfolio. I think it’s about time I shared the story.

I was asked to provide some artwork for the Portland Timbers’ Green & Gold gallery event on Alberta this month. I have two pieces hanging in the Talisman Gallery until the end of March.

Recently I was commissioned to make a bronze sculpture as a joint gift from the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology and Brigham Young University. The final product was produced as part of a lifetime achievement award for Dr. Lee F. Braithwaite who is retiring this month after 47 years of teaching Marine Biology.  The subject […]

I was hired to paint a Mazda Miata race car in a Hello Kitty theme. In the end we settled on this Bye Bye Kitty theme instead.

I recently finished a set of Smurfs commissioned by the Ice Cream Man for his ATP art exhibit in New York this week. They provided the Smurfs and I trimmed them, sculpted new parts, and repainted them. To learn more about the Ice Cream Man visit: http://www.icecreamman.com Update: My skeletor smurf sculpture fetched the highest […]
