"The West End Of Town" Photography & Digital CollageFor some reason, I've suddenly gotten really jazzed about sharing some of this weird artwork I make. I've been creating stuff like this for a long time... but I'm only just now starting to share it.

Somewhere in my consciousness there is this concept of a place called Orangefield. I've tied things to it before, most notably my musical collaboration (with St. Louis' own Kevin Barry) called Orangefield. Now, I've started to attempt to give it an actual look with its own series of prints. The West End Of Town is the newest addition, and it has just recently become available for purchase on society6.com. I feel kind of like I'm retroactively creating a photo history for this place called Orangefield, and I'd expect there to be lots more to come. Currently, you can check out two other pieces in the series: Orangefield Road and The Old Mainline... and more is coming. I am obsessed with this idea... plus I really dig the look of the stuff.

"The Woodcutter" Photography & Digital CollageAlso high on the list of stuff I'm currently proud of is a new piece called The Woodcutter, also avaliable for purchase on society6.com. I have always, always been a person who gets into anything miniature... I love it. Show me a model of something and I'm giddy. Anyway, from time to time I set up small miniature scenes and grab some shots. This is one I did a while ago, but it still does something for me. It's really simple, but still a bit whimsical.

So that's that.
