Gallery Blu

My junk is up at Gallery Blu in Harrisburg, Pa. along with the work of 10 other people. One of my etchings has sold so for. My three pieces are the only black and white ones on the wall over my right shoulder.

Mass Framage

I have been doing a little framing for some new and old work. The one is a thank you gift and the three make up my work for a group show of local "artists" from a recent gallery walk.

The one frame on the left has no mat because I miscut the one piece that I had left. I sprayed a board black with an airbrush and then mounted the drawing directly too it. I think that it works alright due to the deckled edges of the heavy paper. A good mat cutter is coming soon. I can feel it.

Random Sketches

Unknown Skull

I spent yesterday working for Ted Prescott who is a sculpturist and a newly retired professor from Messiah College (I was lucky enough to be in several of his classes). He gave me a skull from a trip of his that he took to a ranch in Nevada. We were not sure of the animal but Mr. Prescott thinks it might be a dog.

Alan E. Cober collected skulls and used drawings of them in his illustration work which makes me like them a bit more.

Bob Getty 50th Birthday

Happy Birthday Bob! This was a gift from Bob's wife.

I really enjoy working this way. The bottom one is the rough sketch and the middle is a detail of the finished piece. The top is the final.
