HappeningsI talked with Ron Egatz of www.macgroupus.com for an hour and forty five minutes today for my interview. He was great and said it should be out in a couple of weeks.

Normally one item will set me off in a direction and this image is no different.  Pete had the white t-shirt and hat, it reminded me of an Italian fisherman, not sure why?  I went around the studio and found the leather fishing net and the pole.  I bought the net at Big Lots (for […]

I just can’t seem to get away from trash!  The background here is actually a dumpster dive, yep, got in it.  When they deliver furniture it comes wrapped in heavy plastic, like painters plastic drop cloth.  It’s shaped like the furniture so I just cut it at the seams so it will lay flat.  I […]
