I’ve been continuing with the folds challenge. The more I look around my daily environment, the more I am aware that folds are everywhere. Fabric is only a fraction of the picture. On my desktop I see a folded plastic bag, Kleenex coming out of a box, several pieces of crumpled paper. Out the window […]

This digitally-composited poster incorporated a soft-block carving which I did of a statue of Kwan Yin, as well as photography at the Pacific Asia Museum.

This week’s challenge for the EDM group was to draw something with folds. I selected the challenge based upon my experience the weekend before - attempting to draw a crumpled comforter in a hotel room. I didn’t get very far with that live drawing as I vastly underestimated the complexity of it and we needed […]

Friday morning we headed out of town to drive up the coast to do some interviews for a show we’re working on. We got about a half a mile from our front door before we stopped for coffee and a cinnamon bun to share. “Road food.” Breakfast of champions. Or at least, Breakfast of road […]

This week’s offering to the Blind Contour Cult … our levitating dining room light fixture, which actually goes very well with last week’s disjointed dining room chairs. What’s this style of decorating called? … Oh yes, “Fun House.” You won’t find it in Architectural Digest. Welcome to the Los Angeles Vortex.
To see the rest of […]
