Obelisks

I have done a series of Obelisks with Airliners as a theme. These are three sided and are 7 feet high. They can be placed inside or out.  They are steel with a durable powder coating.

Some New Work

Here is a piece that I have been working most recently. It is made of 1/8th inch steel plate and is rather heavy. It is 38 inches high and 32 wide. The name of it is "4spheres of influence".

March

Here is the font for march. Still going at it every day.

I did have a crisis when I went out to go to work then realized that I hadn't made any more numbers. Fortunately it was on the 12th of march so I managed to cut the bottom half of the two off and turn it around so that it was a sort of three. It worked well enough to get to the studio.

I started this project in November when the month names were long. Now that they are getting shorter I need to reconfigure the look of the letters on the car. "May" will be interesting...

I have been super productive in the studio. When I get my new steel sculptures back from the powder coater I will post photos.

One reason for being productive is the open artist studios coming up on the 12th and 13th of April. Last year we had big crowds come through and I sold a good number of pieces. This year I will have even more work to choose from.

New Chandeliers

Here are the candle chandeliers that I wrote about last month.  The top one is called Halley's Arc and the bottom one is called swell. Halleys arc was created using a an elipse in every aspect; negative and positive space.
 Both are powdercoated steel and are ten candles.  Write me for more details or measurements. These designs are all about shadow. You can't see it in these photos because the room is too bright, but over an intimate table with the candles lit, the shadows and liveliness of the flame really creates a cool and dynamic pattern on the table and room.
Both are available presently.

Here is the font for Feb. It is called Harlow solid Italic. It is really slick and easy to read. The other big advantage is the thickness and smoothness of the letters, it makes it easy to change them each day. Last month was viner and the font looked great but was a pain to change because it was jagged and the vinyl tore at each little jag. It did have a hand made look to it.
Anyway, enjoy.

Computer Chair

When People come to my studio they are almost always interested in my computer workspace. I thought about this for years and have made different attempts. This is the latest and it works very well. The chair is from a Chrysler 300m. I bought it on Ebay for 50$.  The keyboard and left hand motion controller are both hinged so that once I am sitting I can pull them into the correct postion.   
Cars are much more comfortable than desks.  This is by far the best work station I have experienced. Oh ya, it has a seat heater also! Pretty nice for cold winter days.
