Glass, Cinder & Thorns II

This Saturday (tomorrow) @ 323 East in Royal Oak, MI

will be the 2nd Glass Cinder and Thorns show, curated by my dear friend, the lovely April Segedi.

Its an all female line up! All works based on Fairytales, mostly the dark little twists hiding inside the stories.

The first show was amazing! And Im pretty excited to see all the work for this installment!

Here are my pieces

"Let Me In" - plaque set of 4 - oil on wood

I see this girl, shes the wolf, but she wont be cooked in any boiling water. The pigs lose in this story.

I have a thing for the rule of 3. Not sure why. And Ive always loved the 3 little pigs. I can remember being at my cousins house, listening to the Disney record over and over.

My pieces were aesthetically inspired by Disneys adaptation of the story.

check out the picture in the background, what a bunch of sick-o's.

I Love this book cover as well.

be sure to contact 323 East for any purchasing questions!

"Manifestation" - 36x48 - oil on canvas

She gets a little older. She gets a little more comfortable in the dark, maybe not comfortable, but familiar.

She knows its there, unsure what it really is, but tries to have a little fun with it. Unaware this carelessness only makes it spread even more.

Last month was such a whirlwind I never got to post about the pieces in "Splinters & Paper Cuts"

I probably wont be able to remember to post about all of them, but I do want to try if I can.

"Seep" - 16x20 - oil on canvas

this is the beginning of things she cant understand or even really see. 

Its the first stage. 

When whatever has been opened on the inside starts to bleed and seep through.

meet me in the meadow

another Bad Dads opening has come and gone, and from the looks of the photos it looks like it was an awesome time!

Here is my piece from the show

"Is that a cat in there?"

18x24

oil on canvas

first time painting a kitty! 

I only have seen this movie once before painting this. Thanks God for tumblr tags!

There was a scene in the film I really wanted to cover, but couldnt find any screen caps, so if I'm in the show next year I already know what Im doing. 

I heard on the interwebs that Johnny Depp is supposed to be in the next Anderson film...dont know how I feel about that. Wes's films have never lacked major stars, but Im pretty sick of Johnnys face after all the Caribbean movies. oh well, Im sure it will be great anyway.
