One thing that really inspires my work is skateboarding. Whether it is the travels it takes me on or the people I meet it is more often then not a result of skating. Here is one guy I'm psyched on. He might not be doing the craziest tricks or the most marketable person but he does what he wants and does it good and people notice that. That being said he is one of the best out there and still is really humble. He also doesn't let one thing run his live. Even though he could stick with skating and be a skateboard jock (compete in the xgames and have shampoo sponcers) and earning allot of money he found other ways like woodworking to develop as a human being.

Bandsaw box

Just got done with my styrofoam model of my bandsaw box. Its going to look like a miniature 50's fridge. Im trying to work with some concepts that I normally do in my photography. I want to take something that is concrete and present in everyday life and put a twist on it. A fridges sole purpose is to preserve and is very man made. I would construct this out of wood and create an organic piece.

Collages

I've been messing around with a couple ways of making collages here is one I do with only using macintosh preview.

New fotos

Just got a role of film developed from my trip to skateboard Barcelona. The trip was a blast except for getting stuck in Madrid and loosing our bags...

Just finished my first project in wood shop. Its a wood mallet that I'm pretty psyched on, good weight and tapered off edges. Now I can go hunt vampires

When one first looks at this piece attention is quickly shifted towards the two bold brush strokes. I is these strips of blue that make this painting so fascinating. That two strokes of a brush could completely shift how we read the painting. The line over her eyes might as well decapitate her and removes any sense the simple family portrait.

This statue captures the essence of fertility. Even though it is composed of cold hard iron it is very successful through use of the large belly and bisection. It really iconosizes women with their hard shell to the external world all the while they carry and create life.

This compilation of images is very powerful. It is painted in a way that shows the people for what they are and nothing around it to take away from them. The absence of black and white is very present and immediately brings to question race. One may find them selves questioning whether the subjects are only two people but then when the text is read find that they themselves might have stereotyped


Although this photo may first appear as a simple snapshot it is far from it. The bold black backdrop works very well in contrasting with everything from the lady's brilliant read clothing to her blond hair. The composition leads the viewer eyes up her arms and eventually to the subjects head
