I’ve been accepted to be a vendor at the Bazaar of the Bizarre in Toronto on April 25th. If you happen to live in the area why not stop on by and say "I know you from the internet"?

Doors open to the public at 11am and all other important information can be found on their website: http://thebazaarofthebizarre.org/

Come see me in one of my rare public appearances!

What a horrifying robot!

This is a piece inspired by my lovely wife. She has an odd love for pigeons which I have come to admire and share.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted sketches and we just got a scanner soooooo...

So the day has finally arrieved! My package from B.C. containing my artswap piece from Michael Parker came right to my door. It’s a family day miracle!

I sent him "Old Friends" and in return he sent me the above titled "Nothing Personal": a beautiful piece of altered art from watch and piano parts. "Nothing Personal" is outstanding. So many interpretations too, as a beast or as a robot, as a fight or as a parts scavenge. He also snuck in a touch of my favorite of your previous works "almost there" with the trailing off of parts. Very subtle. I don’t know how he managed to tell so many different stories all with one work. He has an amazing talent.

I also sent him one of my older works which he bought for a friend’s birthday with the most valuable of currencies: parts. "Nothing Personal" came with a massive metal box filled with wood, metal, and even a speech by Kurt Vonnegut! I’m very excited to get this all into my workroom.

This was a great experience and we’re working on setting up a page on reddit for more people to take part in Art Swaps like this.
