Theater Masks

Troll Mask

Masks made for the St. Phillips production of "Tales From Norway" directed by my wife Pammy which opened in July of 2012. The troll mask was painted with a combination of acrylic paints and black light paints. All the masks made were  based on designs by Pammy and made from papier mache as well, plus fake fur and felt for accents.

Art Slam Painting-Star Wars Villains

This is the painting I sold Saturday night for the Art Slam held at the White Rabbit. Sorry for the poor quality of the image. That's five hours of fast, intense painting and I loved it! I'm definitely going to be participating in those more often.

Doc Ed Ammonite Fossil Prop

Above is the completed ammonite fossil prop for my "The Edwards Aquifer: History of a Rock Star "show. I wanted to have a fossil similar to the marine animals seen in my  power point illustration below.

 Rather than have an actual fossil or fossil replica purchased I thought it would be more interesting for the kids if it was a handmade prop. It looks good and after each show one of the kids will usually ask about it . I'll let them know I made it so they can see how the visual arts and sciences go hand in hand.  Below is the prop as it progressed from styrofoam base to clay to papier mache'. 

If I had a choice I would have kept it the terra cotta color of the clay. Its a very beautiful color.
