Untitled


For this piece I used some vintage household labels, a couple of dominoes, a ceramic angel, a cabinet card from the late 1800's, a cigar box that was sanded and painted black and some old vintage map paper. A circuit board from an old mouse was placed over the face of the man on the cabinet card for an added effect. Some wire decorations of red stars were used to accent the box. The men on the Kull's labels were from cigar box vintage labels.



Time Traveler


This piece continues my fascination with all things space and astronomy related. I also love old clocks and found this broken one at a local thrift store. It didn't have its housing but it turned out to be perfect to use in a mixed media piece.
The eyes are made from old glass fuses and the stars are Christmas ornaments. A medical illustration of a man shows the formation of his muscles but it is hidden by the large head, another medical illustration from an old anatomy book. Vintage map paper supplies the background.
