I have created a painting that will be auctioned off at the Kettering Mayor’s Ball to benefit SICSA, The Society for the Improvement of Conditions for Stray Animals.

I am also working with April Lemaster, who created the ceramic bowl, and Molly Cross, who will make silver nest pendants, to create these centerpieces for the Mayor of Kettering’s Benefit Ball on April 24. The bowls and pendant will be auctioned off at the event. The money raised will go to SICSA.

For information about attending the ball, contact The Kettering Mayor’s Ball Committee.

I will have two figures in the Toy2R 15th Anniversary Qee World Tour. The show dates are April 3 through April 28. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, April 3 from 7-10pm.

A frame from the time lapse movie, “Bounce.” The newest in the Vivarium Series, this painting measures 24″x28″ and shows 6 pickled punks, the carny term for human fetuses preserved in jars of formaldehyde and used as sideshow attractions, partying. One of the jars has tipped and the contents have spilled out onto the floor, but where is the punk? Stay tuned!

This painting is 8″x8″. A commission piece of Lukas and Noelle in Candyland.

Drawing for Fructose up on the board along with some current and future projects.

The layers begin. This phase always looks creepy!

Now they are starting to look cute! Basic colors down.

Added a few lollipops in the background, adding colors to the cupcake hat and overall skin tones.

Defining faces better.

Adding color to Noelle and Lukas’ hair. Something is missing. Considering starting the background over completely. Thinking maybe just candy everywhere, but I do like the depth that the background is making, so I ponder for a few.

Duh! More elements in the background! Mountains, clouds, a candy tower and trees replace the lollipops. Also started over with the gumdrops.

Piece is really coming together now. Just need some more details and a few glazes in the gumdrops. Gonna add candy to the trees, some more patterns and Yippie! A little cutie!
