Welcome to Nowhereland!

Last Friday, the PÄS Gallery was overtaken by my ninjas and creatures! It was a great turnout, with a Nowhereland-themed photo booth, live music by Ryan and Pi, plenty of drinks and snacks to go around, and a table full of limited edition Nowhereland merchandise! There will be a closing reception on Saturday, March 19th from 6- 11pm. The show will be on display until March 27th.

Christmas Present for my Parents

These are some watercolor cutouts I made for my parents. My dad wants to decorate the bar top in his Hawaiian style backyard by layering old postcards, drink coasters, and other Hawaiian/ Tahitian ephemera underneath a clear resin layer. My favorite is the Tahitian girl.

An old painting, rediscovered

I made this painting for my friends' Liz and Feo's wedding gift. I never got a chance to photograph it until I saw it on their wall the last time I visited them.

Untitled; 10" x 10" (including frame); mixed media on cut paper; 2009?

My Big Heart

I don't know why I haven't posted this yet, but here is my public art sculpture. If you look closely, you'll see some Nowhereland characters hidden among the crowd. It was a charity donation that benefitted the All The Arts for All the Kids organization. It was purchased by the city of Fullerton. It now lives in the Fullerton Museum Plaza.

Plankton!

New scavengers and predators have been discovered in Nowhereland. They are megaplankton. This large one just caught a ninja.

6 1/2" x 6 1/2"; mixed media on cut paper; 2010

This one floats around and picks up food with four tentacles that grow near its mouth at the bottom.

Art Giveaway on Facebook

Every couple of weeks I do an art giveaway to my Facebook fans. For this week, I'm giving away this 7" x 5" ninja girl study to whoever can post the funniest or most random quote that the ninja girl is saying. Log on to facebook, find Nowhereland, and post a quote as a comment by Friday, August 27th.

Brobot Party Rig

The Brobots like to party loud and dirty. Mermaids hate them.

My new art studio!

The interior of my studio is almost finished! As soon as this heat wave dies down, I can go in there and make magic!

Ninja Nudes

Sometimes, after a hard day's work, ninjas like to get a little R-rated. Or classically comfortable, depending on how you look at it.

Nowhereland Specimens!

Just got back from a trip to Nowhereland. I managed to capture some of the inhabitants. Unfortunately, they all died on the way back.

Ninja Bookends!

These ceramic bookends serve two purposes: The first is an example for an 8th grade project I'm teaching my students. The second is to hold up art books in my future studio.
