cap map

More bottle cap art! Maps are the new black.
Featuring a map of NC... You can see Alamance County in the upper left, and Chapel Hill/Carrboro. Home sweet home.


Hannah and Kellen are now the owners of some map cap artwork. Theirs is slightly larger than this one and features Charlotte NC. They collected their own caps to put inside.



This last one is my new favorite shape for the cap artwork. I've also been playing with the color and arrangement of the caps... I used to just throw all the caps I had together. This one has a home already, but I've got more in the works!

far east

in the spring of 2007 I got to visit some friends in Osaka, Japan. It was an AWESOME trip. I had maps from a guidebook on Japan, and I used some of the maps to make a painting as my own souvenir...


My plan is to make artwork showing all the places I've been. Maybe not all, but I like maps and I will continue to use them in my artwork. Stay tuned!

more light

more experiments with light drawings... no photoshop or crazy edits here!


We used various exposure times... mostly 20 or 30 seconds. and the tripod! that helped a lot.


Also used a different location. I like the lights in the background.


Cursive was tough, especially since you have to draw backwards. We used my headlamp again, and the red light that goes on the back of my bike. We were out of breath by the end of it after running all around the field trying to make neat designs. This is fun project for this time of year when it gets dark so early. You should try it!
