Leaping the Gap
This photo is of my cat, Omar, jumping from the couch to a chair. I particularly like this photo because it shows the
grace of the cat. Taking action shots is always a challenge with a digital camera.
Screaming Head
This hunk of clay certainly delivers what it promises. I made it with clay that hardens by itself, and doesn't need to
be fired. Unfortunately, it cracked a bunch while it was drying.
Aurora Borealis
I did this piece of art with oil pastels. This one took me a while. I liked making this one because it is a mix of abstact
and impressionism, and I love both of those. The two tiny figures n the bottom section make the northern lights at the top
look larger, and they seem to fill the whole sky, and in turn fills the lake with the reflection. This piece shows how small
we really are compared with the beauty and freedom of the wild.
This is a photograph of my dog David jumping into the air to catch a snowball. I laugh when I see this picture because
he can jump that high, but yet still can't get over the barrier to the living room. The barrier is at his chin level. He couldn't
jump it when he was little and he's too dumb to try again.
TACKLE!!!
Being a kitten is a contact sport. This shot was taken by reflex. I didn't know Omar (the all black cat) was even in
the room. Jesse (the calico) was as surprised as I was. The dog looking into the room is almost the best part. He is
forlorn because he is missing out on all the fun.
The Badlands
Oil Pastel. Not my best, but it's allright. This originally was something i was just piddling around with, but it turned
out looking actually somewhat like the badlands, with some barren windswept rocks thrown in for good measure.
Northern Lights with Trees
This is the original northern lights, that inspired the second one (above). It is much more simplistic than the other
one, and the trees have much more detail. I really like drawing the Northern lights because it is abstract yet it looks
like something real, surreal as that may be.
Fundy form the Cabin
Ah, the classic porch view scenery shot. This was taken from the porch of a small cabin on Digby Neck. Since theres not
much room in the picture for explanations, I'll explain what's behind it. The cabin is 8 by 10 feet, and not too tall. It's
a great little cozy place in the winter, with its tiny woodstove. It was just built in 2004. To build it we had to make room
for it first. The family all helped with clearing the area. We cut down trees, with help from my uncle hank (another artist),
moved wood, and made a slash pile of dead bushes and branches that was at least six feet tall, and was quite long. All in
all it was a fun time.
Dreadlock Mask
This thing is awesome. It is a mask with dreadlock hair, whiskers, and a savage grin. Seriously, nothing will ever equal
the almighty awesomeness of this mask.
Artist: This is a small tree. A pine tree. Any questions?
Billy: Is that what it looked like in real life?
Artist: Yes, Billy
Billy: wow, thats amazing
Artist: not really
Billy: Mister, you're my role model
Artist: You know thats actually kind of scary
David in the Leaves
I like this because it looks funny. How about that, eh? its funny lookin. i mean theres like the dog . . . with the ears
. . . they're all flappin around like that.
also its got great colour, and excitement. the leaves . . . yeah i'm done.
