Art -
My latest creations are done on scratchboard, an underused
media that allows the artist to create artwork that has a very
distinct style. Unlike pen and ink which I used to do plenty of,
scratchboard forces you to think backwards, "scratching" the
black away to bring out the white background. Some of my
scratchboards also include airbrushing colors and tints down
first, then scratching. Please check out my examples by clicking
on the Scratchboard" button.
Other recent art projects include copper and glass sculptures of
the seven ancient planets along with the sun and moon, and I
have also become reacquainted with the simplest of all art media
- the pencil. You can't get more simple than that. Check out my
New Artwork page for these creative additions.
I also have a new storefront at CafePress. Please check out some
of my T-shirt designs and other great items, including a
wonderful book by my wife, Julia Collins.
