ROYGBIV at Mokah Gallery

Mokah Gallery in Deep Ellum. ROYGBIV
Artists: Kasten Searles and Edward ruiz .

I really enjoyed showing with Kasten,her paintings are colorfull and full of play.
She had a great variety of large and small works, including her own coloring books.

I had two pieces in the show , the wall with the color diamonds and a collaboration with Kasten's sofa piece.

The gallery looked great ! Thank You Courtney Miles and Kasten Searles !!

Clear Resin Deer Heads for La Grange

3 clear resin deer heads were commissined by La Grange a new bar /music venue in deep ellum texas .

I was able to take this project through all the stages of production here at my studio. Sculpting , molding and casting the clear resin. This was quite a task and kept me on my toes for months. They look great at the venue and hope to work on another project like this in the future.
Thank you Stephanie and Rob ! also Thank you Cody for making our steel mounts!!

Lighting the Dallas Burlesque Festival ...

By using L.E.D.'s to light the set piece I was able to color match or contrast with each performers costume and provide color changes throughout the night.
The set was simple, a facade of the Texas Theater on one side and a screen on the other.
Center stage was kept open and a traditional follow spot was used to light up the performers.

Set Design for Dallas Burlesque Festival 2010

Here's a sketch of the stage design for this years Dallas Burlesque Festival . Once again it's at the Texas Theater , this year I decided it would be fun to have the performers do their routines on stage in front of a miniature version of the Texas Theater !!
