monday

Sorry for the delay in posting, things have been crazy. I have been working on a video project, so there hasn't been much spray paint in the studio lately. The Ford sketchbook is full, so below are some pics of the next book. I am thinking about binding a second book and working in two simultaneously, maybe letting one actually carry a single theme and / or narrative . . .
 bound and ready for the cover.
Here is the front of the book in all of its glory. I find the vertical stripes to be slimming. 
 The backside of the book. 

This weekend my dad and I built a door for the 'under-stair storage' room. This is the inside, you might notice that it is the old garage door rotated and reoriented, then added onto a bit. I wanted to preserve the history of the door and the old 'paint wall' but not make it too obtrusive. 
Here is the exterior of the door, so you will see this from the garage. This has three quarters of an inch of solid  foam insulation inside of it, so it should hopefully hold the heat in the room for the water lines. I think it will look pretty sweet once it is hung.  
Here is the start of a new painting as well, It i about 3 x 4. It is one of the abandoned student paintings from this last semester. Thank you care-free graduate!

  1. Wow, that door is stunning! Very cool.

    I like the idea of creating a sketch book that carries a theme or narrative, working that simultaneously may really add something new to the mix. And, yes, the vertical stripes are very slimming.

    Sorry I missed your call, noticed around 11:30 and thought maybe I'd wait until tonight or tomorrow to try back. When do you head out for Boston again?
