Peacelove Retail

Here's a retail display I did for Peacelove studios a few months ago. The concept was a large framed painting which breaks apart and sits atop pre-existing fixtures. When viewed from above or at certain angles, the painting appears to be whole. The sign was hand cut and painted.

Here's the original concept sketch, along with another design for a freestanding unit.

New Site

For the past 2 months I've been working on a new website, hence the lack of updates. Although Blogger has been very good to me, I feel like it's time to move on to a portfolio based site with an integrated blog. I've slowly been learning the ins and outs of Wordpress, and hope to be live by the end of summer. In the meantime, I'm going to be updating this blog with some things I've been working on over the past few months and some upcoming project sketches.

SENE part 2

Here's the finished SENE window. Thanks to John Pitocco for the opening night photos. Click here for more of his work and pictures from the festival.

SENE part 1

Here's some in-progress pictures from my latest project. I was asked to build another installation at the PeaceLove Gallery to correspond with the opening of the "SENE Film, Music & Arts Festival." The large heart logo measures 8 feet tall and 7 feet wide, and was cut from a single sheet of wood which I created by layering several sheets of plywood. You can also see a few of the large Hollywood letters in the background which spell out SENE.

The large 3-D glasses measure over 18 feet wide and cover two existing windows in the gallery.

Here's a view from the adjacent conference room.
