• A Christmas Story

    The doll that I am now working on is going to be based off of Joyce Carol Vincent, a 38 year old woman that was found dead in her apartment after 3 years in the UK. She was laid out in front of her television (that was somehow still on) with Christmas gifts that she Read more

  • Updates from my last two shows…

    Here is a late update from my last two shows, one was at MF Gallery in Brooklyn and the other was SpaceWomb in Long Island City. The show at SpaceWomb was so last second that I had to snatch up some dolls from my shelf, but I was very thankful to be invited. It’s conveniently Read more

It was at the Metropolitan National Bank in midtown of all places, her sister works there and likes to have unconventional shows for her customers.

  • Zombies Have Feelings Too

    The funny thing is that making a zombie doll was the furthest thing from my mind when I originally started this one. When I let the clay dry, I noticed that her bone structure was a bit strong. That was the moment that I realized what she had become. But don’t let her looks fool Read more

  • New Show at SPACEWOMb Gallery This Saturday

    It is so ironic to me how this same little doll that got rejected from Art Doll Quarterly magazine two months ago became the headliner for this show in Long Island City, go figure! I felt kind of bad about it too, but oh well.  You all know the saying, one person’s trash… Read more

  • Cirkus Cirkör: Wear It Like A Crown

    I’ve had the pleasure to see Wear it Like a Crown by the Swedish circus group called Cirkus Cirkör over the weekend. It might look like some kind of a weird horror movie from the photos, but it was an amazing circus act. It was very bizarre with some of it’s characters and movie clips they played in Read more

  • My Version of Little Deer

    This is a new doll that I started working on. I was inspired by the great Frida Kahlo’s Little Deer painting. I’ve always admired and wanted to make a sculpture version out of it but didn’t acquire the skills until recently.  I still have a long way to go with my craftsmanship before I feel satisfied with my Read more
