Well here we are again. Back. Spring in the clearing in the forest, feeling like it will be a hot summer. Firstly. Made a video of “Oldies”, venturing into images from AI. Pretty happy with it as a guide. In an ideal world, I would find people and places and re shoot it with actors…

Available in the gallery shop at both ArtSpace Urunga and Tree-O gallery in Raleigh. Also I can do custom online orders. Really enjoyed making these little fellas. Best seen up close and personal.
