My Flameworking final project. A representation of a Velociraptor fossil skull, made with @northstarglass Irrid boro. I call it “ Velociraptor Periodontitis” because it only has 5 teeth left… I’ll get some pics with it in sunlight

My first “real” attempt at watercolor. I always loved the aesthetic of the Three Brothers segment from Harry Potter, and I thought watercolor was the perfect medium.

“A Sensitive Contour of a Still Life” 2023. Charcoal pencil on paper. This was a project of mine about a year and a half ago. That foot gave me so much trouble!

This was my second glass project ever. It was a “multiples” project. It’s supposed to look organic, almost sea creature-like. Multiple making up a whole.

Me and my classmate working on a project in the hot shop. This was at Ball State University’s Marylin K. Glick Center for Glass in Muncie, IN. I love the hot shop!

“Serving Injuries” 20x28 Derwent pencils on tan Arches paper.
It’s a commentary on my own military service in the Marine Corps, and having to deal with the physical and mental injuries from it after becoming a civilian again.

These are my favorite hand sketches I’ve done. I love the way hands look when you draw them with continuous contour.

This was a blown glass project I did. It’s supposed to represent climate change (the melting dry ice). The two glass pieces have scallops ground into them, kinda like ice, but they represent a polar bear mom and cub.

A glass sculpture I did earlier this year. Poured molten glass through a plaster silica mold. This is my favorite glass piece I have made so far.
