2019: The year of… I don’t know.
Following my wonderful show at Gallery 224 in Port Washington in the fall of 2018, the always amazing Creeping Museum asked me to participate in their amazing Shirley Jackson tribute to celebrate the Haunting of Hill House. Shortly thereafter, the the fantastic Golden Horse Ranch Band contacted me to design their annual Barn Dance Apocalypse show poster. I was honored to do both.
Then, on Christmas day, I had a mini-stroke.
Two weeks later, the loving cat I had for 18 years died.
One week after that my cousin died.
Then 2019 happened.
I had ideas…
They did not happen.
I made several things…
They are in a drawer.
Last month, Gallery 224 reached out again. My only finished piece of 2019 will be available at their fundraiser on Dec. 5th.
I will post it this weekend.
Thank you to many friends and especially Frank Juarez for a year of kind words.

This is probably my favorite thing that I have made this year.
Solanine is the poison found in all members of the nightshade family. Beware the little bunny harbinger offering you some fresh nightshade (aka heirloom tomatoes).
This is an 8″ x 11″ piece set in 4 art-glass pane layers.
Here are a few new things that I will be showing at Eight Art & Design in Sheboygan next month.
More details to follow…
I started this a very long time ago.
It ended up being so large that it was difficult to work with in the limited space I have, so I only brought it out from time to time when I didn’t have anything more convenient to work on.
I’m still not certain I’m finished with it. I may change the colors up and I’m not sure the background it right.
I guess that means it’s a work in progress.
Thank you to everyone who came out to say hello to Todd Mrozinski and I at the Orange Gallery BVGN event this weekend.
It was nice to meet some many new, like minded people.
Also a big thank you to Ngoc for asking us to participate.
If you missed the night, the remaining work should be up and for sale for the next month.
I know I’ve been neglecting this webpage and my Facebook page in favor of Instagram lately.
Sorry about that, but it’s easier and more interactive.
That said, here are a few of the pieces I’ve finished this month that I haven’t posted yet. You can find larger images of each here.
Bunnies, bunnies, bunnies…I know, but I see them in my yard every day and they in the mythology of just about everything I care about.
I still haven’t had the time to finish the very large and elaborate pieces I posted studies of in December.
Some day, soon I hope.
As of now, most of the things I’ve posted this year and most of things coming up will be in a Milwaukee show in June.
More details on that when they are settled.
If you like my postcard boxes, Volume 1 is officially out of print.
Sparrow Collective and the Waxwing got the last copies a few weeks ago.
I have no plans to reprint them as they are nothing like what I started doing shortly after I made them.
I will hopefully have news about a collaboration with Orange Pops this spring.
Time will tell.
Adios.
