Play!
I’ve never liked wearing rings.
But recently, I really wanted to make one in this style out of pink plastic (resin, really)–so here it is.
It’s handmade at each step of the process. From the carving, to the mold making, to the shaping.
I carved the positive out of niupika carving wax. It took me a few tries to understand just what tools I needed to use, and how slowly I needed to go to not crack the surface or remove too much wax by mistake. Then I created a mold using Polycraft GP-3481-F silcone rubber. I’ve done this before (here and here) but it always takes me a few tries to figure out how to minimize bubbles, and also how to best bisect the mold to minimize the occurrence of registration errors. Then I cast a few using polytek easyflo 60 resin, that I tinted pink.
Each one has it’s own little errors. But as The Narrator in Fight Club (Edward Norton) explained, it’s these little blemishes that can form your whole identity if you’re not a jerk. That was the message of the movie, wasn’t it?
Study for three figures at the base of the internet
An homage/an update to Francis Bacon’s Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion. I drew this the day after the Marjory Stoneman Douglass school shooting, which took place on Valentines Day 2018.

But I Guess, In The End, We Just Moved Furniture Around (Video Version)
This is a collaboration with David Pocknee and Richard Craig. It’s definitely David’s piece but he invited us into the compositional process with him. We met several times over the span of two years to come up with what this work ultimately became. It was just a lot of trying things out; a lot of looking at stuff and a lot of moving stuff around. David is good at combinations. I just love him. We You can find the score here (on David’s website).
Not the Rodrigo Constanzo Story
My new comic is ready to be held by your delicate reader hands.
It’s about Jason Biggs running lines with his agent, in order the land the part of Rodrigo Constanzo, in a movie about Rodrigo Constanzo.
Rodrigo Constanzo wrote the script.
We didn’t give it a title, but it’s NOT The Rodrigo Constanzo Story. It’s printed on 32 “silk coated” pages and is A5 size (if you fold a piece of printer paper in half, that’s about the size). It will come with a few stickers and Rod’s fantastic mac n’ cheese recipe on the back cover!
Here are some pics. Enjoy.
