leaf...............Six new raven Shamans ready to take to Rountree Gallery this week. I've gone with vine maple leaves as cowls for several of the new pieces.

Redux......................

..............a la Raven Shaman, eh? Oui! Approximately 6-inches tall, acrylic glazed. These will be in the July Ceramics Show at the Rountree Gallery in downtown Salem (as well as the Crucified Series).

Current work at...............

A new Geisha..........

Changing of...............

artwork at Rountree Gallery. Pulled a few pieces and subbed in ceramic masks. My paintings "1.Reduction" and "Constant of Crows" as well as the Gigantic Lit Shrine of Faith Amplification are still on show. I consider it the darker side of the carnival....the shadowed side-venue off the Mainway....where the Alligator Boy and Bearded Lady cavort in unrestrained glee....and all for a nickle.

Here is your ticket....

Something................

..............Red, the annual (mostly) AIA-sponsored downtown art show debuted tonight. The juried work certainly lived up to the show and many wonderful pieces are currently hanging in various downtown locations. My pieces are at the Wild Pear Restaurant ("1.Reduction" - honorable place winner in the show) and at the Calusa Gallery (shrine, "Door Beneath Tomorrow").

12/2: photos from the event are posted HERE

Also debuting tonight is the Holiday Gallery at the Rountree Gallery Upstairs. My mini-masks are available at the Holiday gallery. I'll be participating in the gallery proper (downstairs) in January.

New Gallery..............

.............in Salem. The Rountree Gallery at 241 State Street between Commercial and Front streets (downstairs).
