Ive updated my website with a few new pages in the furniture section.  I had Anna Campbell from ProjectChaboo take the pics for me.  Click on images to go to the new page.

Sensu- designed to be visually appealing from 360 degrees.  MMM… I might have to build myself a nice house to put this in- or I could put it in a lobby or something like that in a nice building.  Any takers?

Yes, its kinda weird to compliment myself but I like this design!  I must say this is my second favorite design of mine.

I worked on a sculpture for the lobby to Ladd Tower which unfortunately fell through at the last minute.  While dissapointed, Im still excited about the concepts I came up with.  I can see these prototypes turning into a huge chandelier someday.

The idea was to create a organic 3 dimensional form using 2 dimensional material.  I found a special wood wall panel product which is more stable than the standard veneer.  The back is paper and paints well.  I experimented with several brands and found this to work the best.  This sample is wenge with red painted on the inside.

Some models in paper of different ideas I had….. Ive been really intrigued with the color red lately because of the experiments I did on this sculpture.

Bummer it didnt happen- but it was fun!  Its so important to keep pushing ahead and exploring regardless of external factors you cant control.

I recently completed some pieces for Myhre Group architects for the new Park 19 development on the corner of Glisan and 19th across the street from Couch Park.  We installed the TV cabinet on a nice day with people out lounging on the grass in the park and fallen cherry blossoms carpeting the street with pink.

Im waiting for the so called “geek squad” from Best Buy to install the 50″ plasma.  I didnt know geeks are slow- its taking forever.  Pics will come after they finish install.  Coming soon….

Believe it or not I actually do run a legitimate business besides Project Chaboo.  To prove that, Im showing my stuff in a cute little wine bar in the pearl this Thursday.

Come hang out, see my stuff, drink some wine, and be merry.  There will be a special sneak preview of my reinterpretation of the Chaboo~

I bought two big slabs of Swiss Pearwood today at a garage sale…. even though I have no use for it!!!!  Im such an idiot.  I saw these beautiful pieces of wood and I just couldnt let it go…

At least I got a screaming deal at $250 for both.  2″ thick, 8ft long. The look nice bookmatched.  Maybe someday itll be two nice benches or a huge dining table with a glass top or some kind of filler material for the inside.  Or better yet- a conference table for MY office.  Make something nice for myself for once!

Pear trees just dont grow that big.  These slabs are rare beauties.  They have a warm orangish tone with some pink in there.  Whew.. my heart is pounding.
