Description
24x30x13. Pen and Ink, Bristol Board, Pine wood, Particle Board, Iron, Paint, Rubber Tracks, Spray adhesive, Lacquer, stain.This piece is based on the series of pen and ink drawings. The drawing is done by hand on bristol board. It is without a doubt the most intricate drawing of this kind I have done. I wanted to showcase the drawing but also bring movement and an interactive quality. So, the drawing was adhered to particle board which had previously been stained to match the stained wood of the base. This is then mounted to a 1" dowel which is fed through the base and connected in the back via two rubber tracks (like large black rubber bands) to the handle which can be turned in the front. The effect is that the handle in the front can be turned and the drawing will spin. It turned out beautifully. I then made a strong base to support it and there you have it. Hope you like it.

Do you already have a shop to work in? I know some folks in the east bay if you want me to see what I can do. Judging from your work it shouldn't be a problem.

I called a couple people, but they don't need anybody right now. I asked them to let me know if they hear about anything opening up. They are a bit out of the city, but if anything pops up I'll let you know. Good luck

Wow. That thing is something you can stare at for hours and then get sick if it were moving. How long did it take you to create that?

Thanks. Just the drawing on the front took about 80 hours. The construction and making sure it worked right took about another 20.

Thanks. The drawing alone took about 60 hrs or so. When I start one of theses drawings they pretty much consume my life for a couple weeks.

Thanks. I don't know if it's good that you want to cry, but as long as you get some emotion from it, that's good enough for me.

Actually I sell prints through DeviantArt. Here is my store address [link]
Feel free to look around and order anything you would like from there. Within 24 hours there will be at least two more available. Thanks for your interest. I truly appreciate it when someone says they like my work enough to want to put it up in their house. It's incredibly flattering.
