ImagineNation Artist in Residence

Art alchemy This artist’s studio has a presence in his own house, complete with its own rituals…
I keep quite a few bones and animal specimens in my studio mostly for texture reference. I believe this bone is from a bison. I also have an emu leg and a large part of a horse spine.

The Moon Thief: “You have taken what does not belong to you. Five days hence I will take the moon.”
There really isn’t any glitz or (non-magical) glamour in my studio. It has, over the years, sorted itself into a functionality that’s specific to me.
It is, and will continue to be, a messy place and you’re most likely to end up with graphite on you somewhere if you’re ever in for a visit. I do, to be sure, periodically clean it, or rather sort the materials into their functioning piles.
