What is a line, what is a country? i know there are rules, but there is only life.




I Really LOVE the way David Garcia removes a symbol, and places it in to a separate context.

getting back to the roots.

New Work


Hello! Happy Friday!

I have a new series going, but this is the first "go".
Really had a good time with this one, the result of a
Sunday afternoon walk down Jefferson with my CB City.

You can see this piece at the Legendary Texas Theatre

Art for Darfur raised $10,000 for Amnesty International's humanitarian programs in Darfur.


My piece found a new home, and we were able to participate in a great cause.

Funny thing about that night is I got into a bidding war with this couple over a Mixed Media printmaking piece. Turns out they bought the piece i was bidding on and my own. The Event turned out great, hats off to Kristin Schutz & Ms. Lightfoot!

You can see more pics from the event in this article in The Dallas Observer.

Porcelain Hooligans

I’d love to have porcelain art by Barnaby Barford!
This collection is entitled “The Good, the Bad, and the Belle.”


Happy Meal

Do it again, I didn't press record (2009)
Notes about the sculptor (from bio page):

Barnaby Barford is an artist who works with ceramics to create unique narrative pieces. Although an accomplished craftsman, Barford primarily selects found objects, taking both mass-manufactured and antique figurines and turning them into sinister, sardonic but invariably humorous sculptures. As the sentimental figurines become characters in his twisted narratives, Barford turns their perceived vulgarity on its head, often into a different and more explicit vulgarity.
