Lemmy was a truly one-of-a-kind guy. I'm so glad I got to meet him in person briefly many years ago. He will be missed.

Fire, Flour & Fork Skull
I was commissioned by Real Richmond to create a piece of artwork for the Halloween portion of their Fire, Flour & Fork event this year.
I created this papel picado style illustration to be used on all of their marketing materials at the Beaux Arts Ball held at The Jefferson Hotel on Halloween evening, which also happened to be the 120th anniversary of its opening!
As well as being used online and in print, my image was also projected onto the hotel itself and used as decoration inside the lobby.
Some of my other work was also on display as projections in the space!

I was asked to create a new site specific installation at the Science Museum of Virginia here in Richmond, Virginia as part of the RVA MakerFest. The local creative reuse organization Stuff Redux helped me collect the hundreds of CDs & DVDs I needed to create this anamorphic piece.

The album is available on pretty much any digital music service you can imagine. Here are a few links to easy ways to listen and buy the tracks right now...

[BONUS] Skeleton Damask Stencil
My Skeleton Damask pattern is now available as a DIY PDF download!
To make the repeat pattern you'll need to make two copies of this stencil and reverse one of them. For doing an entire room I recommend two sets of the finished stencils so that they can be alternated while they dry.
It's Creative Commons licensed so you can use it for any personal projects, but if you want to sell it please get in touch first! Also please send me an image of the end results so I can share it. Have fun!

[BONUS] RVA Pancake Love Skulls
On Valentine's Day I spent the morning creating pancakes for a fun charity event called RVA Pancake Love. I worked alongside a dozen other artists, most working for the first time in the medium of pancake batter to raise funds for FeedMore a local charity that helps feed the needy here in the Richmond, Virginia area.

[BONUS] 429. Dead Media 2
I was invited by the kind folks at Alchemy NFK to participate in their Darkmatters pop-up one-night exhibition in Norfolk, Virginia on Friday, January 30, 2015.
I worked with a literal truckload of thrift store books (456 to be exact) to create this temporary anamorphic installation. After the show is over the piece will be dismantled and the books will be donated to CHKD Thrift Store which benefits the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters.
The piece only looks complete from a single point in the room. The video and images below give a sense of how distorted it looks from any other viewpoint.
See my first Dead Media installation (made with video cassettes) HERE.
