Progress on Rock's Cafe

Hello My Name is Fear

Hello My Name is Fear, 8x10, 11x14 with frame, collage on paper, 2009

This is a collage taken from only one issue of Newsweek. Like a hidden message collected from the text and ads. I like the idea of doing one of these per week. Plus, it gives me some way to make a statement about the week's news -- and something to do with the magazines.

I am going to enter this in the Pee Dee Regional once I get it framed. Also, I plan to enter the 24x36 collage about the NSA spying/wiretapping program (that's still in existence). I just finished it off with some aluminum foil.

Rock's Cafe Painting

Part of a series I am working on of cool architecture in Darlington. I am calling this "Rock's Cafe." Every day I drive to work and drive by it, I just imagine the possibilities of this empty building - a vessel waiting to be filled.
