Ravinia: David Crosby again

By | Sketchbook | No Comments
Crosby is such a distinctive character which makes
him easy to draw….in this case from the large video
monitors flanking the Ravinia stage…I was actually
standing with the groundlings on the periphery of the
seated pavilion. His noggin from that distance was
the size of a matchhead.

Owl Cabinet

By | sculpture, woodwork | No Comments
The main source of the wood is resawn
mahogany taken from the casings and
other trim from a Hyde Park apartment.
I carved an owl on both sides.  The dark 
lacquered top (veneered MDF) is from
a cheap Chinese piece of crap which 
repeatedly fell apart and the drawer is from
a set of three salvaged by my friend Zena.
Thanks, Zena! Thanks, Rick!
