I would like to send a much deserved belated thank you to Firemass on Facebook. I was quite honored to be asked to submit some of the work to be in the first issue of Firemass Zine. To have photographs of my work included along side the likes of Clive Barker and Chet Zar is humbling to say the least. So thank you Spiritcage. I do believe there are a few more days left to order until issue one is no longer available. Order on Magcloud
 Hauntforum had a tombstone building contest in 2006 I believe and I decided to compete.
I had cast a mache copy of a Boomer skull which you can see in the above picture. Then I went about the normal process of using pink foam to make the rest of the stone.
Using cheap foam skulls for the corners from rite-aid or someplace and a broken Mr. Thrifty skeleton in the center. The whole thing is a bit front heavy but a bit of anchoring fixes that. I had to do a bit of research on painting. I never was quite satisfied with the paint job. But at night it looks OK.
Every year after October has came and gone and the holidays have passed my shop is a mess. Remnants of unfinished things clutter the shop floor and discarded junk litters the shop floor (I am horrible about using a garbage can) I clean it and spend a fair amount of time reorganizing supplies and looking online at new tools and researching new products and techniques. My shop is in an uninsulated basement and the temperature down there hovers around the mid 40′s to the mid 50′s I think. A bit to cold for me to work with air dry products which are my medium of choice. But Now I am in the middle of a house move and the new place has a 2 car detached garage which will be my new studio. This will be great. So currently my shop is all in Rubbermaid bins, tool boxes, cardboard boxes, paper bags, garbage bags, etc… and sitting in the basement of the new house. The garage at the new house is being leased to someone until the 3rd week of July. At that point I will unpack and rebuild the studio into the new space and begin creating again. I haven’t created anything new in probably 8 months but a lot of new ideas are swirling around in my head. It has been a nice break. But I am itching to get back into the studio. Keep an eye open for new pieces to appear soon.
