Hey all, this is one of those protypical posts where a blog author who hasn’t blogged in a long time apologizes profusely, talks about how busy he is, and then promises more activity.
:)
I do have a new site design being worked on, with a bit better layout. Let’s just say that since my last blog post, I’ve been to about 5 different countries, and my work with Liferay has been going better than ever. I currently blog over on the company blog, but I will be doing more stuff here.
What about…

This was my first Valentines Day gift to my wife, Jessica. I made her this, and then had it printed out at 20 x 30, and mounted on a foamcore and wood backing.

It came out really well, and she was very happy with it, but generally a lot of people dig it, so I’m pleased about that :)

First, let me just say: I originally posted that entry in direct response to a lot of antagonism coming towards religious people from the atheist crowd. Places like Digg, or really any online community populated by techy folks, are rather hostile to anyone who professes any sort of belief in anything supernatural.

My other piece for ArtPolitic’s Body Modification release.

I again wanted to explore something different than the norm with the body modification, and I got the idea from this from a fellow artist who sent me a picture of a church sign that read “Body piercing saved my life”. So, I wanted to represent that visually, and changed the phrasing up a bit.

This is one of those pieces that is “always turning the topic back …

Very personal to me and probably the one that without fail gets the most reaction. I wish it wasnt almost 8+ years old.

A bit of an older piece, but I still enjoyed making it, and I still like it. By the way, its a flower, not a jelly fish :)
