Proud to reveal my latest!
Dreamed of this one for a long time, so it’s a joy to have it ready to share. More info in my Etsy store, but if you’re interested, please DM me first. Why give Etsy a cut? 😉😂

First draft of my first new lightbox of 2025! Feels good to be back into making them.

It’s the Beatles in their pre-Ringo 5 piece form, with Pete Best and Stu Sutcliffe. Lots to fix, but overall I’m excited to see it in the flesh! Can’t wait for the next draft. 🤞🤞

Scene from 1933 film “King Long” rendered in layers of Bristol board and illuminated from behind. In a dense jungle thick with trees and vines, a giant gorilla on one side of a chasm lifts up one side of a log that several humans are using as a bridge, so one of them is falling into the chasm. The men are chased from behind by a dinosaur. A little ways down the cliff face from the gorilla, a man hides in a cave.

Love my #delightbox portrait of baby Sea Rocket, Prickly Pear & Wild Indigo by @timkocher.bsky.social. It commemorates our visit to #MontroseBeach on 7/21/23 to see the captive #pipingplover chicks from NY after their release in #Chicago 🥰 @chicagopiping.bsky.social #endangeredspecies #sunlightbox
Lightbox made with layered white and black paper in a wood frame up against a sunny window. The image is of three young piping plovers on a sandy beach. The one in the center is reflected in a puddle of water. Overturned boats, buildings, a lifeguard tower, people having fun and the waves of Lake Michigan can be seen n the background. The blue sky and clouds are visible through the open back along with the surrounding trees.

Hey it’s Star Wars Day! #maythe4thbewithyou to all who celebrate. There’d be no Star Wars without the art of the great #ralphmcquarrie, whose work I salute with this lightbox. One for sale here:

Sold a bunch of these pop-up cards in the last month! So I was busy this weekend replenishing my stock. They take time and precise effort, but it’s so rewarding to see them completed. 🤩

Here’s my entry for this week’s #blueskyartshow - the prompt is #silhouette.

For years my lightboxes were all done with silhouettes, but detail crept in through paint and layering. I really want to get back to that simplicity in one of my upcoming designs!

My very first delightbox, I remember when I first lit it up and it came to life. This one makes a perfect nightlight for a kid’s room, a beautiful piece for your living room, anyplace where it can work its magic.

Making is fun

A small Batman head made of paper is held up between finger and thumb. Behind it, the complete design of the piece is blurred out. It shows Batman in motion above the rooftops of Gotham City, with a full moon behind him.

61 years ago today, the Beatles first did the Ed Sullivan Thingy! It looms large in their legend. So it’s a good day to post this fun little lightbox I made.

Representing the insane tangle of semi-obscured wooden structure from the original photo is harder than it looks! But it’s fun to try. If it works out it should make a cool lightbox.
