styroman

As I was throwing away and breaking down that annoying styrofoam packing I had an Aha! moment. I took a chunk of it and decided to use my hot stencil cutter as a carving tool because styrofoam is too fragile for traditional tools. I drew almost an continuous line to create my image freehand. I also had…

storage and shelving

One can never get enough storage, wall space and shelving in a studio; I use my wall to exhibit my latest paintings like an inspiration board.
