Conjoined III The Final Chapter
This past weekend was the closing of a group art show I was in at the Copro Nason Gallery in Santa Monica. This was the third year for this amazing sculpture show curated by artist Chet Zar, who also released his new book Black Magic The Art of Chet Zar. It's a fantastic collection of special effects artists, painters, and 3d artists showcasing their latest work. Below are some images I took of the show and links to magazine reviews, etc.

Make Me Pretty
"Make Me Pretty" is my latest 11"x 14" x 8", sculpture that explores youth and human aging. So many of us hate the fact that we are getting old. Including me. Our society has such a fixation on beauty and youth, that millions of people surgically alter-themselves to try and cheat the effects of aging. A wrinkle here, a sag there, and our lives are all over. No bones about it, some day we and everyone we love are ALL going to die. If your lucky, you might live past 90, but at that age, our bodies are certainly not what they used to be. Maybe within the next 20-40 years, surgery and bioengineering technologies will be advanced enough to give us a new face, or possibly even a new body. The question is, what will we have to give up in order to do be young again? Is youth worth selling your soul?
This piece can be seen at the Hive Gallery from now till December 1st along with dozens of other sculptures from many of the best sculptors in Los Angeles.

Walking Dead Escape 3D
This past weekend I was lucky enough to get into Comic-Con and be a survivor in The Walking Dead Escape. Both events were a lot of fun. The Con was not as packed but it was still pretty damn packed! Above is some footage I managed to get with my new Gopro 3D camera while tearing through the Walking Dead course. Hope to do more with that cool little camera involving sculpture and animation! Oh and the girl on the right is eating a dead dog. Enjoy!
