Sculpture Envy
Similar to the words of Ed Moses, “I know a [sculpture] is great when it makes me angry or jealous.” And darn you Jason Peters I am flipping jealous! Saw this recent commission of his: via Flavorwire I want a commission like this! Can the city of Long Beach call me up to do something [...]

The Dome of Power
Cosmic vibrations emitted from the dome of power caused a mild earthquake in Southern California last night. I guess, it’s not a true dome, it’s more of a truncated pyramid. But hey, it’s my first geodesic dome modification sculpture! Different colors reveal different magical wonders… Come and witness the dome in it’s final form at [...]

New Project – Urban Shooting Range
I was hired by the Kingman Group, a huge paintball company, to produce a backdrop/shooting gallery for their upcoming tradeshow in Huntington Beach this weekend. They wanted a run down strip mall kind of look and this is what I came up with: Kingman is unveiling their new paintball handguns [Here], and this is what [...]

Margin Walker
Got an email from my old sculpture instructor Adam Teraoka, regarding this recently finished piece of his: Great credit must be given to Adam as he was responsible for shaping a lot of my thinking about object making; specifically maintaining a sense of humor in the art I make. In speaking with him about this [...]

Revision (xmas tree project)
I made a major revision in Xmas Tree Project. Basically, I didn’t like how hodge-podgy and junkyard-like the E-Waste Xmas tree was turning out. I originally wanted to use primarily salvaged materials and weld them together, patchwork style, in hopes to bring them to a beautiful resonance. I realized that the frame I constructed to [...]

X-Mas Tree Project
Did I mention the Xmas Tree project I’m working on for the Lab? Anyways, I usually make a Xmas tree for them every year consisting of some kind of salvaged or recycled materials. This year they commisioned me to build a tree using electronic waste. So I’ve been scouring dumpsters looking for electronic waste that [...]

TV Stand (update)
I once had a sculpture teacher who told me that if you didn’t like the way a piece looked, just add feet. Good advice. So, being unsettled on the way the TV stand just sat on the floor, I decided to add some feet. Simple trip to Ganahl lumber and I picked up some hardware [...]

Plant Stand
Here’s a plant stand that I put together last night. I had some scrap metal from a project I’m working on for my wedding (in three weeks!!!). I really like being able to use up all of the scrap materials I have left over from other projects. I wanted to built a stand for potted [...]

TV Stand
So I decided to replace the super hip Russian designed “m’ilkcrates” TV stand with a little construction of my own. Using scrap wood from the bookshelves project, I was able to make a nice little stand with some sliding door action for storage. Have a looksee below. Simple. Functional. Sturdy. Easy to construct. I can [...]

(Re)Making Stuff
Remember the bike rack I made out of vintage bikes? Well, apparently someone got really excited about one of the pieces I put together and decided to break it off and take it home. Honestly, if I was a complete asshole, and was in to ripping off public art, I’m pretty sure I would have [...]

Bookshelves
I’ve been working on bookshelves for the apartment for a while now, and they are finally finished. I think the total time I spent on them was only 8-10 hours, but it has been spread across about 4 weeks, so it seems like this project took forever! But now that it is done I am [...]
