So I made made two found object sculptures or Assemblages if you will. With help of the OCC recycling center who allowed me to reclaim some items from there facilities.

My good friend Charles Ashurst, owner of Castle View was kind enough to take some pictures of them.

I will add them to the digital portfolio soon with their titles, year etc.

Hola. I haven't done an update in awhile, I've been busy, so to make up for it...heres a post! 

I actually have a piece that is going to be in Cheer's; ISM's 10 year anniversary show which opens on July 7, 2012 in downtown Santa Ana at Fullerton's Grand Central. I actually can't wait to see the show because ISM has had some really good artist over the years. 

Also, i will have a print hanging at the OC Fair gallery which  is open July 13-Aug 12 so go see it while you munch on deep-fried Oreos!

This past weekend I attended a art seminar by Marshall Vandruff which was super informative and inspiring. I am going to two more of his seminars this weekend so check them out if you are in southern CA and are pursuing a creative lifestyle.
