Blogger is giving me a hard time about the picture layouts, and Im not interested in spending a lot of time figuring it out. In brief; a decent day. The photo at top shows where I started, aroun...
Continuing to make steady progress in my one-day-a-week marathon.I think this is some of the hardest modeling I have ever done. Its not that the forms are particularly hard (although the grape leaves...
For the time being, I have decided to limit the scope of this blog to the (more or less) present. Ive been feeling a little anxious about the amount of information Im leaving in my wake, and have dec...
Watch Jed Morfit, artist on PBS. See more from State of the Arts.Produced by the excellent Susan Wallner. Thank you Susan!
Good progress today. Its hard not to panic in the face of so much detail, and such slow going, but so far so good. I keep reminding myself that theres no rush - nobodys waiting for me to finish this ...
I had been looking forward to yesterday for a long time. Everything that Id been working on for all the various shows done and out the door, the semester launched, but not crazy, and a chance to get ...
They are all gone. Gone to Stockton. Gone to Philadelphia. Gone to New London. God, it feels great. I had hoped to have some kind of statement at this point, something that would tie all these ...
Being an sculptor on the east coast means learning to love the 95 corridor. On my way to deliver work to Connecticut College. They were prepared to pay for shipping, but in the end the I would rather...

I love all this post-apocalyptic, Tank Girl/Mad Max-type stuff. Love it. This one is by the Korean artist Bhead. Theres more good stuff to be found on his blog, but its all in Korean, so its no...

Im not a perfectionist.Im not a perfectionist, and these pieces really arent meant to be perfect. The individual elements that make up the whole are not precious. They are plastic casts. Each one is ...

Last year I got smart and started getting my frames made by a professional. Much respect to David Goldmann at SDJ Woodworking, who never fails to do beautiful work.
Let this picture stand for two things. First, this new piece is going to be Pepto Bismal pink, which Im really excited about. Second, no matter how much your new, fancy propane heater warms the space...
Hey all, Im sending this out to people Im pretty sure have an iphone, or at least app capabilities. I just applied for the West Prize, which is a cool, and definitely lucrative, art prize with a soci...
The Christmas season is upon us, and I have a million things to do other than ruminate over the studio process. Still, I thought Id post a few of these images from the new one "Toil", which i...
But close. I told my wife I might finish this piece today and she looked shocked. She should know by now that finished doesnt mean complete. Never complete.
Now THIS is fun. Doesnt take much to change the game and uncover all sorts of interesting new possibilities.
Tuesday. Toile piece proceeding nicely. Very cold in here.I may have to incorporate this self-portrait into the next round of sculpey figures.
Today was frenzied but good. In the not-usual manner of Fridays in the studio day, my wife had to run out in the morning, so I was left with the youngest, ostensibly during "nap" time, so she...

Putting one of these framed pieces together is absolutely not the kind of work you should do with your eyes dilated. Jeez. Sent from my iPhone
People often reference Kara Walker when they look at my work. Personally, I dont see the resemblance.
While James drills out the holes in the wooden backing, Im putting together the figures for the next piece. Henry Ford eat your heart out.
I can see that todays experiment in posting live via iphone was not an unqualified success. Apparently, adding the text after the image is the same as not adding text. No great loss. Suffice it to sa...
