Here are the four pieces of mine on display at the Funhouse Gallery in the Russell Industrial Center. The show is up through October 1st, including next weekend's People's Arts Festival. Also in the gallery are fantastic hand painted movie posters from Ghana, from artist/curator Mike Kelly's collection.
The pieces, from top to bottom, are Chet, Lavender Love Lion, One Day My Log Will Have Something To Say, and that wacky Peony!
The last three pieces in this post are for Come Play With Me, a show currently at Paint Creek Center for the Arts in Rochester, MI. Directly below are three shots of a Triple Goddess turning doll i made for Renee Dooley for a facebook pay it forward challenge. It was really a pleasure to make something so clear in my mind and so right for the person. Hope the next one is so nice.
Sophia, cyclops yeti.
Martha, who balances heart and brain on her hands.
This be Captain Turner. He actually has a swimsuit babe to grasp in his tentacles, but this photo was pre-gal. When i get a chance to shoot him again at the show, i will.
I'm just itching to show off new toys, but some are under wraps until Come Play With Me opens Friday. But here is The Peony, who was completed too late for Paint Creek.
Shel Dorf has died. It's no exaggeration to say that his work, and love, has made me the fan, of comics andeveryotherdamnthing, i am today. If you go to mega-media-cons like DragonCon or of course Comic-Con, this guy started it. And here in Michigan. A nice memorial is found here, thanks Brian Kelly!

i'm just finishing this excellent book. Might as well share the postcard, an invite to a Tiki Party/ signing at Book Beat with author Michael Zadoorian and cover artist Glenn Barr.
thedetroiter.com has a great story by Nichole Rupersberg, with photos by Sean McClelland, capturing the excitement of seeing a flat track bout for the first time. Check it out! This thanks to a heads up from DDG staff member Took Gallagher, who has a non-Derby related art blog here.
If you're reading this elsewhere in the US or Canada, check The Women's Flat Track Derby Association for a league in your metropolis.
