Dogtown Design Co.

The new website is up and running! With the expansion of my work beyond

traditional studio art, we thought it was time to build a better, more 

accessible showcase. All future work will be posted there, with a blog feature

to compliment the gallery section in the coming months. If you're a fan of my work please 

check in at www.DogtownDesign.org as new updates will be happening often. 

This blogger site will remain active to showcase sketches and works-in-progress, 

and to archive student work. Thanks for the love and support!

Mytheme: In the Studio

More work coming oh so very soon...

Mytheme: "The Year-King"

First in my Mytheme mask series exploring folklore, ritual, and myth, The Year-King is a symbol of sacrifice and rebirth, growth and harvest. The concept of death and resurrection exists across all cultures and mythologies, and the perceived control over nature and the gods through sacrifice was especially evident in agrarian societies where the success of the harvest was a yearly matter of life and death.

Process (Mask Series No. 1)

The TR painting is mostly done but still camera shy, so this is beginning of the new series using a lot more mixing of experimental media and acrylic painting. This guy here is where I am on the first.
