This is little piece I just made called, “Portrait of George Washington as a cheap Chinese toy.”

It’s made out of a toy that I got in a dollar store in Vermont.

I gave it to the ellO Gallery for their next show, “Holiday Cram It!”

The opening is this Friday, December 5th.

Happy Holidays.

This is a project I’m doing at a local music venue.

The idea is that a bunch of people will pay a little money to dance as long as they want, and the last one dancing will win a large amount of money. They used to hold these during the great depression, participants use to get a 15 minute break every hour and supposedly they used to keep dancing for months at a time, a few people even died on their feet.

See you there.

I carved this subtly political Jack-o-lantern, but I’m a little disturbed by how deranged it looks.

This is a mug I found at the dump today. I wrote a phrase a friend said to me during a recent conversation on it in sharpie marker.

Personally, I think this would make a great [insert religious gift-giving ritual] or birthday gift for just about anyone.

One of my neighbors put this old orange TV out in front of their house a couple of months ago. It seems to be broken beyond repair, so I’ve repurposed it, and now it’s out in front of my house.

PhotoREAListic FAKE Fur Bigfoot is a recent work that I’ll be showing in a local exhibition called Monsters, opening at ellO Gallery in Portsmouth, NH this Friday at 5 pm.

As the title suggests, this is a pixilated image of the most well known alleged photographic evidence of bigfoot, made out of pieces of colored fake furs.

Here is the original image, from the famous 1967 Patterson film, that I worked from:

I’ve also got another work in the show called Paparazzi Trophy, which is a sculpture of Paris Hilton’s head made out of paparazzi photographs downloaded from the internet, printed on canvas, stitched together and mounted on a wooden panel.

So far the reactions have been pretty funny so I’m looking forward to seeing the show when all the work is up…

Last year, when I was an artist-in-residence at The Mantua Art Project (Co. Roscommon, Ireland), I entered a song in the Today FM “beat the original” song competition. The competition was to see who could make a cover version of “Teenage Kicks” by the Undertones (if you haven’t hung around in Ireland or the UK you probably don’t know it but it’s an amazing tune) that was better than the original, or really, that was better than the rest of the entries. The prize was 800 Euro and an interview on the radio or something. I got some help from some of my friends out there in the Mantua Project but we didn’t win or get played on the radio so I decided to put it on here for posterity.

Now please enjoy “Teenage Kicks” as interpreted by The MANTUA Collective:

That’s me standing behind a donkey being confronted by a dog named Oso who guards the Mantua Project.

This is a sculpture of Paris Hilton’s head that I made by stitching together paparazzi photographs of Paris Hilton that I downloaded from the internet and printed on canvas paper. I stuffed the head with plastic grocery bags and mounted it on a plaque like a hunting trophy.

That’s about it.
