My new works are flowers created from found or recycled items often outdated or replaced
items. The frames were generously donated by one of my most loyal old friends the awesome CLEVELAND CHICK  from a local chain restaurant, collaged over and recreated into a new piece. The new works are heavily influenced by steampunk, industrial surroundings and the works of Jay DeFeo. Two flowers have entered two major collections in Cleveland Ohio just this year, The Progressive Collection and another I will soon announce once the deal is inked. Inking going on right now so update soon. To blend recycling and creativity is my ultimate goal when assembling a body of work. This show features a focus on bionic botanicals, cyborgian strains in an altered post industrial wasteland.


The gallery where the works will be featured is located in the Akron area of Ohio. Amy Mothersbaugh has founded the gallery to create a space to showcase her work and of the local and international flavor of the creative energy she has created. The gallery hosts studio space, exhibition space, a retail area for local art and several exhibition walls in a small cool space by the falls of the cuyahoga. An opening drawing group is hosted each Wednesday and the parking is plentiful and free in the mall area next to the falls. Hope to see you there !

 As a dj at WRUW, our all day concert will also be in full effect and i will be there before and after my opening to hang with the tribe who mans your college radio station. That event and the bands playing ( did i mention it's free ?!? ) is HERE.  I hope to see you that day, a full sizes day of  music and art will be one of the best days of 2013 for me for fun and fellowship.

404 Uniquely Upcycled Oddly Constructed Urban Ends : SPOOLTABLE



Next week I will be in the CLEVELAND FLEA ! May 11, from 10 - 4 pm selling my wares. Last month was a wonderful success and i was grossly underprepared for a mass frenzy of fans. This month we are preparing early for the next few shows as i have been crazy busy this spring. So these next few posts will feature some of the fun for sale next week !

Like this super awesome spooltable ! Originally, I used this to hold cakes but my ideas grew and I added some over the top found finds to jazz hands this little spool up ! Found in Tremont, made of two wood discs and a cardboard round; this spool has been screwed to two matching wood decorative panels. I took an old nasty footrest from the thrift store and dismantled it just for the brass legs. Pegboard was cut to fit and sprayed silver. I stained the two wooden discs to match the cherry wood panels after bleaching and sanding the edges.



Using the world's oldest drill, i attached the brass legs. 
I then measured and glued metallic paper to the cardboard .




And it's a bit over the top for the cake holder idea
but heavy, it's a cool plant holder / table / display
made from all recycled / thrifted items

Join me and many other cool creatives 
NEXT WEEK
@ CLE FLEA !
