Thanks Blogger, it's been real.

Museum Madness

Sorry for the long absence of new posts.

October was a busy, busy month working on ALL of the new installations and exhibitions for the newly renovated SCAD Museum of Art. If you havnt checked it out yet, please do so. You will not regret it.

Here is a short time lapse video the school put together about the construction and development of the SCAD MOA. See if you can spot yours truly working on some of these shows.

 Here are just a few shots ( I wish i had taken more) from the last few weeks.

Now that all of that is behind me, I can dive headfirst into the studio. Lots of exciting things coming up!

Softly turned to winter

Winter seems to have snuck up on us this year. December came around and the temperature plummeted, leaves disappeared and things as a whole slowed down. Luckily with that, came fewer distractions - so when Kay and i aren't hibernating at home watching movies, We're spending more time in the studio.

Here are a photos from the last week or two of work...

An afternoon's worth of sketches and drawings.

Drawing hair. lots of hair.

Close crop of a big drawing almost completed

Progress on a suite of panels. many many more to come.
