MICKEY! 2005 plexi-print

Mickey!

In memorium to Michael Jackson. One of the most chilling things I ever read about him (MJ) was in a Newsweek article from 1994 (?) in which he said all of his plastic surgery was an attempt to look more like Mickey Mouse. Coincidentally, we have been watching through a lot of old Mickey Mouse cartoons lately. My favorite period of Mickey is the "black eye" period, before you can see his whites. I think Donald Duck might have been one of the first Disney characters to show the whites of his eyes. And, as I always do when talking "Mickey," I shout "UB IWERKS!"

Two Walls

This wall was part of my MFA Thesis show at PSU's Augen Gallery...Oh so long ago.
These are leaves of my sketchbook hanging, showing the progression of thoughts and ideas.

When I was at college I worked at the 5th Ave Cinemas, the college movie theater. This is a view of a wall inside the projection booth. Here are my Disney scribbles and a painting. You can see the film reels of previews on the side. The booth was covered with the graffiti, dirty limericks, insults and film calendars dating back twenty years.
