It’s been exactly a year since I wrote last. Is there a hungry audience still?…..
Hopefully. Well, this past year has been filled with activety. The main reason why I haven’t scribled anything down here is that last Febuary I began working as a sculptor at Jeff Koons Studio. As I write this I realize that legally I can’t go into any crazy detail about what I do there, so I’ll provide a link here: http://www.jeffkoons.com
Check out the “Popeye” gallery over to the right (toward the end in the long list of artist themes). That’s pretty much what I’m working on.
I know one thing I can say is that there’s a whole lot of sanding involed. All of those inflated balloon animals you see are infact made of aluminum. Great effort and long hours are spent creating wrinkles and smoothing out surfaces so that the metal looks like inflated vinyl. It really is quite an amazing feat.
