Oda Jaune

This is work by Paris based artist Oda Jaune. They are absolutely stunning, straddling a visual morphism between figure and organ, close and far, consumption and birth. It is particularly striking to me now because of its collage like disparity in these contrasting forms. All the works are 'Untitled' (that must make things difficult) and are oil on panel or watercolor on paper. The complete website is here.

Picasso Alterations

Here are some Picasso postcard alterations I'm working on for the VS the Matador show in December.

Asger Carlsen

Wow, this stuff is great. A combination of the full flash aesthetic so common to social documentary photographers such as Weegee or Diane Arbus mixed with a truly bizarre post-production. Seemingly banal imagery is mixed with monstrous piles or crude (yet totally believable) body modifications of pieced together wooden bodies. This is on my Xmas list of books to buy.

New Collage Works

These new collage works are totally about my fear of going blind. I've had eye problems in the past and will undoubtedly have more in the future. I also have nightmares about clouded vision and forced perspectives.

Making Teeth

Here are some teeht I'm making at the moment. They're in stage one really and they aren't in order of anatomy really. I'm making them out of various stuff, soap (seen here), fish scales I found in Galveston & paraffin. More to come.
