Pappy

My dad wanted me to do a paper sculpture of his dad (my grand-pop) in his fishing boat.  Here it is with an amateurish watercolor background.  The boat is made of real wood and even comes with a metal anchor chain.

I Heart Autumn

I finished this heart design months ago, but never got around to making it into something.  With the temperatures getting cooler and the leaves starting to fall, it seemed like a good time to use my heart design.  It is almost 50mm (1 15/16") at the longest dimension and made of polymer clay extrusions.

Coco Does NY

My Coco Tribal Mask was selected as one of the fine arts of the NYCOCO MoCA Gallery located at the world-famous Time Warner Center in New York City from October 24th till November 3rd!  I mailed out the original polymer clay sculpture to the gallery and spruced up the digital version just a smidgen.

Top of the Key

Continuing with my logo theme, here is a logo I designed for a sports clothing line called Top of the Key.  The half basketball design is on all their clothes.  What you see here is a paper sculpture consignment for the owner of the company.

United Way Jet Pull

I work for USAirways in the tower in Philadelphia as a weight and balance coordinator.  Every year we raise money for the United Way by playing a little tug-o-war with one of the airline's jets.  I named our group and designed the t-shirts in 2009 and 2010.

Poison Frogs

I love these little jewels of the rainforest.  Here are four of my earlier attempts to illustrate them.  Starting upper left and moving clockwise, they are Amazonian Poison Frog (D. ventrimaculatus), Strawberry Poison Frog morph (D. pumilio), Harlequin Poison Frog (D. histrionicus), and Red-Backed Poison Frog (D. reticulatus).  All skin patterns were done in Photoshop and made into 3D paper sculptures.

Razorback Musk Turtle

Here is the latest addition to my Animal Pendant Series, a little Razorback Musk Turtle.  As with all the other pendants, it is made of Premo polymer clay.  I cut out a stencil for all of the shell segments and models and molds for the head and feet.  Speaking of the shell, I also made a clay form, from which the turtle shell lays on and is molded and baked.  Once again, faux wood and faux leather techniques were used to create this little creature.
