5x7: Art Splurge and Exhibition

Mr Sunshine's Big Board of Bad Ideas

Hey, There's a Baby in that Tree

This is what's going to the 5x7: Art Splurge and Exhibition at the ArtHouse in Austin, Texas this year. The party starts Friday, May 15th and continues through May 31. Loads of great Texas artists contributing their 5" x 7" wares. We're going to the artist preview party tonight to scope out where to stand amongst the throngs of people at the big party tomorrow night. We're hoping to snag a BradFord Smith or maybe a lovely Liz Kerrigan, wish us luck.

Art Restoration

This is a piece called The Prodigy that was caught in Hurricane Ike in Galveston. The new owners asked me to restore it back to it's former glory. To repair it, I had to disassemble it and take everything down to bare metal, repair a weld, recreate the patina and make new juggling balls. This is the first time I've had to restore a sculpture to its former self and it was an interesting experiment recreating a piece from six years ago, but this baby turned out alright! The new owners are pleased and I'm pleased.

Old Scratchboard Drawing

I was cleaning up in the studio and found this scratchboard drawing I did probably around 1992. It's interesting to discover that I am still kicking around some of the same symbols and imagery today.
