Welcome to my hoard.

This is a little corner of the world wide web where I sometimes post the projects, pieces, or concept art I work on--from past, the present, or for the future.
It is a laughable thing really--many of my better pieces are not uploaded onto here, I rarely update it, and there is no grand or glorious purpose to this page.
Despite all of this, I hope you enjoy browsing and encourage you to check back periodically.
My YouTube account is the audio side of my artistic endeavors, where you can hear snippets and rough recordings of the folk songs I stumble across or write.
You can check it out at:
Thanks for stopping by!
God bless,

My Self Portrait is done!

Ladies and Gents, it my immense pleasure to announce that....

(Drumroll)


My very first 3D portrait is done!

A self-portrait of yours truly for sculpture class, made of Ohio clay and underglaze. Oy.
What a project. We had a handful of weeks to complete these, on top of two others that were running at the same time--namely, stone carving and metal sculptures.
Absolute madness.








But we got them done.

This doesn't look entirely like me, but the essence is there.

I underglazed it and did my best to make it look like aged bronze...which my camera didn't pick up on because it is an imbecile. The fact that it is a cell phone could have something to do with that. But in real life, it does have bronze qualities.
What can I say? I am obsessed with Art History, and History itself. And it shows up in my work.


I want to become better at this...over TIME. Note the keyword there.
Overall, not a bad start to my world in ceramic sculpture.

I think I'll stick to wood and metal in the long run.
The head fell off the night before I was going to fire it in the kiln, and I had to start over.

What a process.
