Welcome to my "analogue" section of sample reclaimed art, home accessories, and toy design concepts. Much of what I do involves some degree of repurposing or when possible, the use of local resources.

My themes are rooted in the pop-culture generation that I grew up with - so expect some bright colors and goofy hybrids!

I design icons too!

Repurposed Wood Art - Bacon Time

I happened across a downright creepy 1950s breakfast ad featuring a couple god-fearing, genetically enhanced, suburbanite kids....prompting me to design this swell composition. Mixed media; acrylics on 40x40 inch re-purposed wood canvas.

The New World

Acrylic painting on canvas "The new world 2014 - praise be the excess"

Snow Board Designs

Last winter I threw together a couple boards for some folks..."Bacon" - butcher cuts on top and raw pork belly goodness on the slippery side / "Howitzer" - converted avalanche canon on the top and ammo on the bottom. Designed in Adobe Photoshop.

Capt QUINT prototype

Inspired by 1975 JAWS and the stylings of 1950s era fighter jets - Capt. QUINT (aptly named after Robert Shaw's ill-fated character) - is a limited production vinyl toy currently prepping for manufacture...

Color variations

These various camouflage patterns will allow Capt. QUINT to adapt to all kinds of marine habitats with ease. These will be offered as limited editions complimenting the original design.

Bub the Butcher

Could there be a more fitting career choice for a zombie? I thought up this guy while anticipating a set of NY strips at the meat dept. Called him "Bub" in homage to G. Romero. Done in acrylics.
