I am excited to be heading to Washington, DC for ARTOMATIC, an amazing art show which runs through July 5th. Even more exciting is my collaboration with dear friend and super talented artist Richard J. Bailey - I hope those who are able will head to ARTOMATIC to check out some of our work, as well as hundreds of other artists. Richard created a brilliant series of illustrations titled "Strangelets" that will framed up by perfectly unique pieces of mine - each ceramic frame has been inspired differently based upon the illustration. The collaboration is a welcomed blending of our aesthetic styles, rich madness of mind, and a firm commitment in our belief to create art, sometimes with much loved friends. The process of creating the slightly distressed frames was one inspired by antique lace, things Edwardian, fragility of certain material objects, beauty and of course a bit of dark humor.
A small sampling of the "stage" Richard's illustrations will be set upon is posted. To see the final collaboration you will have to visit ARTOMATIC 2009.
