Eli and Son

Here's Eli and his son just before they help me unload the entrance to the studio. They also loaded the trailer with me in my home town and brought a piece of art with the inflatable bag back to the Art Farm by way of Eli's pick- up truck. Thanks, the two of you saved my back. As I write this post I've already started to shorted the entrance by 2ft 4in. With wheels added to the ends of the entrance and ramps to the end of the trailer I'm hoping to make a better Inflatable Studio.

The Goff Family

Without people to view Art the Artist has no meaning. This family was not only the first to view The Inflatable Studio as it would appear at the Garden Party at the Holden Art Farm but helped me with putting the art inside it. Thanks again to all the Goff family members. You saved a very tired artist from getting rained on. I'm glad all of you showed up a day early.

Heather & Eli

In the background you can see The Inflatable Studio in all it's opening day glory at Art Farm; July 28th, 2007. In the foreground is Heather & Eli with one of the Graffiti Cubes between them. Eli's Graffiti Cubes were more successful as interactive art but The Inflatable Studio was seen to have potential as an unique way to view art. The Inflatable Studio would not have made it's public opening this year without a gentle push from Eli and I can't wait to see Heather's photos from the Art Farm Garden Party. The heat keep the turn out low but I made some great contacts. Thanks to Eli & Heather for creating the Holden Art Farm. Thanks to the Goff family for helping set up The Inflatable Studio on the 27th. Thanks to Karen Bowlin for helping with the break down of the studio on the 29th.

The Artist & His Studio

At the time of this post I'm 38 hours away from my first performance of the Inflatable Studio at the Holden Art Farm. Built out of failed projects and discarded material the studio will invite the public to work on the art they view within. Will five years of effort and a life time of dreaming pay off? In the next few months I'll know if his artistic work has value.

Scenes from a Sub-Atomic Sitcom

Scenes from a Sub-Atomic Sitcom is a transition from 2-D artwork to sculpture. I hope it will be my first big sell in the art world. One of the panels is paint over transparent plastic that reveals the flashing light core of this abstract comic book, TV, science inspired fine art piece.

Odd Door

This odd door is made out of Kevlar, foam and fiberglass.

Inside the Studio

Here I am inside the Inflatable Studio with the Orb of the Id and Brother & Sister.

Through the Door Window

Through the door window you can see the multicolored sculptures that are part of this first
Art Park set up.

Eric's Bag

Here is the Inflatable Studio looking like a giant grub.
The giant bag that is the largest part of the Inflatable Studio was created by
Eric Von Robinson for my failed Sci-Fi movie Born of Marrow.
This bag was originally to be a command center in an alien star ship.
