This will be a short and sweet post. I am happy to announce that I am part of a group show at the Red Brick Arts Center in the beautiful town of Aspen, Colorado.
The theme of the show is Structure. As opposed to other artist police by of view, but like perimeters.
Here are a few pieces I am showing:
OBB-2
This one is the mock up but....it's cool;
'Scape'
And this is the Facebook announcement:

Mechanical Love Stories Opening night at The Art Base
This is part two to my recap of my first solo opening at The Art Base Annex in Basalt.
What an amazing week it has been! First I want to thank everyone who show up last Friday night, I am touched and grateful for your support, 125+ people showed up for some art and possibly some of the best Rye Manhattan's in town. Thanks to Woody Creek Distillery for hooking us up with their award winning Rye Whiskey
One super cool part of the week is that I was featured in the Weekend Arts section of the Aspen Time. Sweetness abounds, here is the link to that article.

And on top of this awesome press, I was honored to be part of the Basalt Middle Schools Art class field trips. On Thursday and Friday the art base and my Mecanical Love Stories show was the first stop for these middle schoolers, it was awesome to see their reactions. Some loved it, some were interested, some were in different and a couple of kids would have preferred to be playing soccer...perfect! I took some pictures of some of the students getting face first in my work. In my book, mission accomplished.
I also wanted to point out, In the first paragraph of the The Aspen Time Article they mentioned that people give me things to to work with, this nice patron wanted to give me a old phone...But this is no ordinary phone, it this THIS kind of phone! How could I resist? I am only human (with total Bad ass taste!)
My work seems to have an unexpected ability to crossover many bridges from Art Collectors to Machinist, Fine Artist to disinterested boy friends of girls on a "First Friday Night" art walks.
I could not be more please. My next show will be in June at The Red Brick Art Center in Aspen, Colorado.

The latest project on my bench is the other half of a sculptural diptych name Peep show. These are identical 50'-60's era circular saws that have been "classified" by their apperence even though they are completely identical. The concept is that the viewer needs to look closely, almost past the work.
This is the Peepshow
This is the other half of the 'dyptec' Peepshow Dos that I am currently working on.
Loving the way it's coming along. Be sure to comment, follow and share.
Thank you all for your support!

I have been working diligently on a number of new works for my upcoming solo show, Mechanical Love Stories, at the Art Base annex in Basalt, Colorado. I like to post on social media my current works in progress to keep those interested in my work updates and a visual progress report of my new works in sculpture and photography, it's great to get the feed back. Like this one I posted yesterday;
The Internet
But today the coolest thing presented its self: an other artist saw my work and did his own rendition of the work above! I could not be more pleased.
How cool is that!

Latest work "Better With Glue" 40" x 26.5" Pine, masonite, glues and adhesives, ink print.
This took over 3 months to produce and It was so worth the effort. I used over 3 gallons of various glues to create the amazing textures that upon closer inspection make you want to touch the work. Reminiscing about how I used to peel dried glue off of my hands, I remembered how much I enjoyed the texture, this is where this piece began.
