Hand-made Artwork
Here are some of my drawings, paintings, and other hand-made artwork.
“Galactic Landscape” - colored pencil, 1995
A high speed space ship is seen escaping from a black hole as it passes by a large space city. Click here to see some of the original sketches for this drawing.
“Rusty” - etching, 1995
Rusty was my pet Cocker Spaniel. The original photograph is shown below:
Wood Butterflies - yard decorations
Each of these wood butterflies has a wingspan of about 14". The bodies were spun on a wood lathe and the wings were cut from plywood with a jig saw. The butterfly designs on the top row were hand painted. The butterfly designs on the bottom row were spray painted using hand made paper stencils.
This project was never completed. It was intended to be a mechanical moth that could flap it’s wings. Only the upper right wing was ever completed. The other wings were incomplete and have since been lost. The lower wings and body shown in this picture are shown for reference. They were directly scanned from a real moth.
Butterfly Refrigerator Magnet - 1/26/04
This aluminum refrigerator magnet was one of my recent machining projects. I was planning to paint it and possibly start mass producing them, but I never got around to it.
This factory is polluting the air with a lot of smoke. The small plane on the left is a giant vacuum cleaner, designed to help clean up the air. You can also see the 1997 remake of this drawing.
