dayton is not in ohio

October has been insane. I had my first full day in the studio for a month yesterday… Too much travel. Last week it was New York for a CIVA board meeting, including a half-day of galleries and a studio visit to my friend Wayne Adams’ space. Visit Wayne’s blog to hear what we did together in NYC.

So, I have several projects going, but none are very far along. One is a FEMA trailer project, birthed while daydreaming about the wonderfully baroque architecture of our gorgeous church, the incarnation of Jesus, and the Advent season. The large project is suspended currently because FEMA has stopped the sale of old trailers due to health concerns surrounding the formaldehyde used to preserve the MDF of which the interiors are largely constructed. I am continuing work on a model trailer regardless, although this is not one of the trailers used by FEMA per se.

I also have a baseball related project that involves building a batting machine, ‘corking’ bats with various materials like cork, steel, Vaseline, fluorescent light bulb, felt, other things, and probably a series of paintings based on Bill Buckner.

Also in the pipeline is a swashbuckling, edited short story project, and a currently top-secret project that involves someone else’s artwork, sculpture, painting and a little innocent mail fraud.
