Tuesday Evening above the garage

I don't know if I posted this, or if you saw this over on the other blog, but I wanted to show it to you so we can discuss this when we talk soon. This ultimately is an exploration in the idea of the object being image and displaying it in a more complete form. This would eventually (will) be sliced up and turned into navigation for a website (bogzilla?) --- similarly to the Ruddy Duck piece, but vertical slicing.

Some recent pages working with some bird imagery . . . part of the 'fight or flight' series

beginning of summer

here is the white painting a few days ago, then below is what happened yesterday.  

 after working the stencil with spray paint I have been working an ebony varnish into the surface. 

here is a spread out of the sketchbook, there is a bunch more over on the boggs-studio blog

I'm digging the new background. Good work!

 Some more type explorations with fighter imagery.

 Here's a close up of the 'over worked' piece . . . 

A few variations of toner transfer of the ruddy duck using spray paint.  

Working with the transfer again, using images from one of the current wars with the questions: 'who could love you more' and 'how could you love more.'  I have been thinking of the soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their own lives for others, while fighting individuals who believe the exact same thing, but from the opposite perspective . . . 

 Same question paired with imagery from the Vietnam War. 

 A complete set of letters cut from masonite.

This is a 4x4 piece with a bit of stenciling and flat white. The text says "over worked" which says something about how I feel these days and also says something about how I feel about my work recently . . .  

This is an example of the stencils used in the piece above. It is a complete set of letters and numbers.  

I'll post some more pages later
