A couple current projects...


Above is a blade I am working on for my daughter as a graduation gift.  She is big into the Renaissance festival thing and after earning her Bachelors in Art History I want to make something cool.  My friends at 333 Midland cut the rough shape out of a steel blank.  I will spend the winter finishing it. 

Below is a fiberglass piece I am making for another 3d canvas called "Something wicked this way comes".  Updates to follow.

My Figure Study Project - Kristin

While in art school which was a study at home thing through the Art Academy University I was struck by how poor the images were that we were supposed to use for our painting and drawing regarding the human figure.  Having access to models and a studio in my home I constructed a giant rotating table on which I would have models pose in 8 different positions each.  As I photographed them I would turn the table ultimately photographing a 360 degree view of each pose.  I then created a DVD of each and sold them as study aids for art students and artists all over the world.

My Blue Jean Jacket

Between 2006 and 2010 at the end of every modeling shoot I would ask the model if she wanted to participate in this project called "My Blue Jean Jacket".  Most said yes, my only rule was that they were the ones to select what they wore under my jacket.  I have 24 models from 6 different countries in what eventually became a book.  Below is a link to Amazon.com where the book can be purchased and below that is an image from each of the photo shoots. 

Purchase the book here:
