wooly willy
Here is the second costume for halloween. We found out the hard way that the magnets were WAY TOO strong. I think we lost a couple of them in the night traveling from party to party.

Richmond Craft Mafia
Dude if you live in Richmond and you are interested in selling your handmade awesomeness go hereThe Richmond Craft Mafia. They have a lot of good info on what is happening in the tri-state area (shows, craft fairs, business solutions, etc etc etc) check em out. They are having a holidaze sale(see info above). Even if you are not selling you can go buy some righteous x-mas gifts for the fam or your loved ones. Their slogan is "Rubbin' out the mass produced". They also had a booth at the Bizzare market at Chop Suey Books (a local used book store here in town).

man oh man
saw this at one of those seasonal Halloween stores. Can't help but laugh at the white dude they have on the package. Then I thought I might buy it but I already have the glasses and the hat. All I need is some chain and spray paint it gold. WORD.

BACON!!!
The Kitchen is HERE!!!
I finally got my custom kitchen cabinets. Man they are great. Especially the little slide out thing for the trash can. I can't believe how big they are. I have enough room to store all of my crap and then some. It was a tough design. We decided to make some that matched some of the ikea furniture that we had. Its all birch veneer, the base cabinet is elevated and all of the hardware is the same.

Cut out jewelry
I started using some chip board in my vinyl cutter. Might have to invest in some new blades. I have to do a lot of the cutting by hand. Might be nice as a punch out jewelry piece. Maybe with a poly coating? hmmmm. Flocking? dunno. Maybe I will try some plastic sheeting soon.
sienna gallery
Got picked up by the sienna gallery a while back and they have been posting a lot of my work on their website. Thought this was a great shot with the moss brooch.
They have a lot of GREAT artists that have a lot of GREAT work on the website. I also really like the design of the site. It made me think how my site is way too busy.... Go check it out. -Arthur
bizarre market
just did the Bizarre market yesterday and got a wicked sunburn. Made a couple of bucks and also met a bunch of really cool people. I think I am going to do the holiday sale. I hope I have some new work by then. -arthur

Guns and Wolves!! (Cai Guo-Qiang, Head On, 2006)
Just thought this was cool. I have been playing with my patterns to create custom brushes in illustrator and its a lot of fun. For some reason these wolves reminded me of this process. Don't worry they are fake. I thought the same thing. But oddly enough there was a comment on wolves in sheep's clothing being that they are made of sheep skins
The wolves were produced in Quanzhou, China, from January to June of 2006. The commissioned local workshop in Cai’s hometown specializes in manufacturing remarkable, life-sized replicas of animals. First, small clay models were created as movement studies, out of which Cai subsequently developed Head On’s artist editions of cast resin wolves. However, the realistic and lifelike 99 wolves that grew out of these models and drawings possess no literal remnants of wolves: they are fabricated from painted sheepskins and stuffed with hay and metal wires, with plastic lending contour to their faces and marbles for eyes.
