Starting left in a clockwise direction:  “Lunch with Picasso,” “Overdrawn,”  “Lunch Bucket,”  “Romancing the Mouse.”

Given the absurdity of the world we live in I have taken on as my singular task that of providing a bit of irreverence through whimsically sophomoric to topically edgy sculptures.  I expect that when you view my pieces you might think that this guy has a pretty self-indulgent sense of humor.  Yeah that, and being in a classroom with 12 year olds for 35 years is not a conduit to high art, just good preparation for a little zaniness.

Exclusively I use recycled reused materials in my work both for the environmental reasons, and because it forces me to be more creative in my approach to art.  Well, and according to my wife I’m damn cheap.  It would be ever so much easier to simply go to the store and buy wood, paint, whatever, rather than scrounge, but that would eliminate part of the challenge for me.  The making of art is my ultimate goal, and the most satisfying.
