Something new
September is here, so the October Salem Arts Association is having a Monsters & Myths Call for Art. I've had this idea in my head for some time, and found the right words to describe it. So welcome to this world, Two Kids Trick & Treating. Its an automaton, made from cardboard boxes and things around the studio.

Stuff Going On
If I accidently stumble into doing something even vaguely interesting, it will show up here.
withdrawn
Withdrawn is about finding hardcover books that have been abandoned by previous owners and passed over by the masses as well as books removed from a library catalog. It is taking that book and combining it with the pieces of a board game and creating a new third thing.
shown above: Just Past the Point of No Return. A pairing of the book The Point of No Return with the game Perfection.
ANIMALIA
Exploring minimalism with lines and color using the animal kingdom, both real and imagined. They have involved representing a recognizable creature with just one or two lines and combining that with a limited color palette to accentuate certain areas.
shown above: Fruitstripe Whale.
SALEM ARTS SUBMISSIONS
For a few years, I challenged myself to submit a piece of artwork created specifically for each call for art and try to use a different medium as often as I could.

Other Things
Then we have the one-offs and experiments that don't fit into neat categories.

seriously, a blog?
I am doing this for myself, but if you find enjoyment out of it, great! What you will find here are the artsy type things we do and or see throughout the year. And about five things I liked about it. Ideally, this will improve over time!
