Here are a few of my works:

"Why I'd Rather Not Live in a Ranch House"

(watercolor)

"Cuppa Lights"

These are made using a rusty wire aperture, with tissue paper applied, using a 50/50 combo H2O and Elmer's. When dried, I can paint on them. A votive candle (in a votive cup!!!!) is placed within. I must confess, they do glow quite nicely - custom orders accepted.

"Angry Heads"

(Sculpey & Shoe Polish)

"Enraged and Sick"

One of many drawings with "pomes" (since I don't consider them worthy of the actual spelling). Prof. Tim Geiger and his bookmaking class just released a collection of these on the UT Aureole Press. Called "Random Commands, A Well Hung Man and Other Claptrap," there are a limited number of copies available. Here's the pome from "Enraged and Sick":

Enraged and sick of the world's decline

he strove to right its wrongs

by eating all performers of

annoying, bad pop songs

Like Journey's songs - they're all so bad

(he knew this to be true)

so he chopped up lots of vegetables

made a hearty Journey stew

And Neil Diamond's songs weren't bad

until “Sweet Caroline”

so the hardest part of eating Neil

was choosing the right wine

Then all those awful '80s bands

he tried to eat them all

but after Poison, Ratt and Crue

he coughed up 12 hair balls

And who would argue? Who could stand

the drech of “Macho Man”?

So the Village People he ground up

and fried them in a pan

Sometimes drinks would help digest

(mostly wines and beers)

but he made a thick, sweet choc'late shake

when he ate Britney Spears

And Lady Ga Ga, Justin Beiber,

the whole damn cast of “Glee”

throw in Simon Cowell, too

a tasty potpourri

By now, I'm sure you've gone quite pale

and think this scene pathetic

but then again, it would improve

our musical aesthetic.

More to come.
