Abstract Art Creation Video "G IndioON

G Series

This is a series of 3 gouache paintings I did this past week. I've been studying the work of Juan Miro lately. I think his influence is evident here... I'll be posting a video explaining more soon. Let me know what you think!

Belt Buckle Comps

So I saw some belt buckles a few months ago at Tiger Tree in the Short North that I really liked. I was inspired to create a series of cast resin belt buckles myself. These images are conceptual designs I'm playing around with. (You may recognize some of these images from my sets on Flickr). Any thoughts or suggestions?!?!


Here are some links to sites where I found some information & inspiration about making buckles and working with casting resin.

"The Shoe Shoot" / Strappy Sandals

Strappy Sandals, originally uploaded by Darrin Maxwell.

Here's a photo of a pair of blue sandals that I'm really happy with! I'm actually writing and posting this from my flickr account - I wanted to check this feature out to see how it works. I could potentially blog far more often if this works well!

Oh! ...and I'm SO sorry for haven't not blogged for a while! (frankly, not sure anyone has missed me! haha). I'm considering blogging on Tumbler. Any thoughts? I like the simplicity of that platform. I dunno. Just trying to figure out which best suites my scatter brained (and somewhat fickle) mind!

Hey! GO do something creative. (like, right NOW!) Seriously! And have a killer rest of your day.
