I finished these two paintings about a week ago, but I've just now gotten around to photographing them.  They're both 12" x 12", acrylic on wood.

 

"Nice Day For a Walk"

 

"A Pretty Good Place to Be"

 

I share studio space with a group of friends.  Our crew just moved into a brand new space on Frankford Ave. in Philadelphia in the middle of a very up-and-coming arts corridor.  It has a storefront so we will be running a small gallery as well.  Here are a few photos from the very early stages of organizing and a couple of my personal space almost finished.  By the way, are looking for one more person to join us.  If you think you might fit the bill please get in touch.

Organizing and planning a gallery wall. 

 

The basement.  This will be a community woodshop and darkroom for screenprinting. 

 

This will soon be my corner.

This is my personal space nearly completed. 

I've always been attracted to repeat patterns.  So beautiful, so intricate, so....repeatable.  So here's my first experiment making my own repeat pattern.  I actually made this a couple months ago before my old computer was stolen and unfortunately this slightly pixelated copy is the only one I have.  Feel free to download this to use as your computer desktop.  I'll be trying to make some more, less pixelated, repeats in the future.

 

Last month I posted about cutting tiny letters from a brass sheet with a jeweler's saw.  Here's the finished piece that those letters went into.  I'm very happy with this piece and I feel like it's a good step forward.
