bring PLAY into your world
This friday, the Showroom NYC and Osaka Popstar is hosting a show, Devil Dog Art Show.
This is my entry to the show. Inspired by Dumbo’s Pink Elephants on parade. This devilish elephant is actually a devil dog in disguise. He wears a suit made of needle felted wool.
I dropped off my piece for the Obama show this morning. I hadn’t even thought of giving it a title. I couldn’t think of anything! I’m terrible at coming up with titles for my pieces. If i can i tend to just leave it as “untitled”. But I was so fortunate today that my good friend Shane was next to me when the naming crisis came up! It didn’t take him long to think of one either. So here it is, the Yes We Canon… Or is it Yes You Canon?
The piece is made of needle felted wool and has a magnet that mounts it on a steel base, with the Obama figure like a canon ball/daredevil signifying his quick shot to the top.
The Obama show opened this evening at the Showroom NYC and has been extended for another week. My piece is for sale. 90% of the sales go towards the Obama campaign fund.
I was surprised and happy to see Octopie mentioned on daddytypes.com. Thank you for the mention and the kind words. Coincidence?, but soon after we sold out of Octopie! So this weekend it’s back to work. There will be more Octopie and other friends up on our etsy shop real soon.
