December 10^th, 2011     

Using colors like olive green, mustard yellow, cream, tan, and navy blue. Some of the most delicious colors, which are really popular in fashion.

November 1^st, 2011     Bats in Progress. Various pigments and metal powders, oil gilded.

These get presented individually on small white custom shelves. See my Sculpture page.

September 12^th, 2011     Taxidermy Raven, sprayed with blue/violet mica powder. Silver feet!

I'm making a new copper perch branch for this Raven. You have to see this in person, the iridescent Blue/Violet mica powder I used is highly iridescent, mainly because I've used it on such a deep black colored bird. From one angle the bird is red-violet, and from another it is blue-black. The bird transformed into an Asian dragon.

August 6^th, 2011     Taxidermy Cobra gilded in 24K gold.

It hangs on one, visible nail, under one of the loops of his tail.

June 23^rd, 2011     I love this. The feathers are covert macaw feathers. Naturally molted!

More of these coming soon.

June 17^th, 2011     My upcoming Direct Art Magazine two-pager. Looking good!

There is also a pastel purple one on black paper with white drawn lines. The 2 make a good pair.

February 14^th, 2011     Tanja's "Sorrowbird"

This was once a painting of a colorful parrot, which I poured bleach on, and it of course made the entire thing bright white except for the sky had some pink paint along the edges. Then apparently I turned it into a bird which Tanja had a dream about. (collection of Tanja Schockenhoff, Germany)
