Finally an update...

 First of all as an American I would like to apologize for the orange buffoon being elected again!  Trust me  there are a LOT of very depressed people in the U.S. right now.


Had a solo art show last May where  I sold 10 pieces, then sold a hanging sculpture to a collector in the United Kingdom.  Very pleased about that.

whereBeen working on a new abstract series based on quantum physics.

But the most exciting thing happed this past October is that my beautiful daughter got married:

Happy Accidents and Abstracts - Detroit Erotica

 I am supper excited to announce that I will be having a solo art show at the Annex Gallery at 333 Midland Street in Highland Park.

Opening is on Saturday May 21st and all days will run from 4pm to 11pm.  On opening day and artist reception I will be serving smoked beef brisket sliders, shrimp shooters and blueberry mini muffins.  And yes all food is going to be prepared by me.



In addition to the above show I will also have a secondary show called Detroit Erotica.

And finally a shameless dog post...

 By boy Crixus taking one of his several hundred naps each day...




And given his name is that of an Roman Gladiator I cannot contain my excitement about possibly traveling to Egypt late next year with the Planetary Society.  


A new commission piece...


 

New leather sculpture series

 While making the shield I had a bunch of scraps and do to a happy accident I am working on a series of leather sculptures.  







Leather Shield Project

 My daughter and I go to the Michigan Renaissance Festival every year.  I have worked my way up to wearing a kilt, the last time we attended I purchased my sword and for this years return (closed last year because of covid) of the event I decided to test my ability to work with leather.  Here is a full size leather shield I have been working on and will finish up next week.




Mr. D's Kitchen

 In addition to creating art I have dived full on into cooking.  I am a chef at the Ukrainian Culture Center in Warren, MI.  Since I have been off because of cove I have been cooking for private parties and work events.  Here I am at my daughters place of employment serving up smoked brisket, pulled pork sandwiches with my leak slaw and my smoked potato salad.
