fun with three-dimensional art

This is four layers of art, each floating above the other.  Having two inches of depth gives plenty of room for the spacing of layers.  I just love making 3D art.  With layers, it's like Photoshop gone 3D.

8 x 10 x 2".  Bristol board, watercolor, color pencils, ink, plastic straws and Elmer's glue.  I've yet to come up with a name for it, which is unusual for me.

Side angle view.  This shows the layers a bit more clearly.

During spare time, I've been creating several 3D Pop-Up works of art. I think they become more interesting when done slowly over time. These pieces are folded paper painted with gouache.

Pop-Up Cookies

3D Pop-Up art, painted with gouache in a Moleskine sketchbook. The layers are Bristol Board glued to the page. I had a hankerin' to do another 3d piece, so cookies seemed appropriate for this time of year. No baking required.

Here is another angle that shows the pop-up carpets pieces a bit more clearly.

More fun with 3 dimensional art. This one goes in a red shadow box frame. 7"x7".

Lately my focus has been on several art projects. A commissioned piece, the next modofly moleskine book cover design, a new large painting, and a few little computer graphics jobs. I am also gearing up to open an online store on etsy.com. Almost there, still working out the administrative parts. I am looking forward to this venture.

Another page from the moleskine Pop Up art book. Painted with ink & guasche.

Wouldn't it be great to have a wall filled with art?

red line & raindrops

3D moleskine "pop up" art.

I am pretty sure this one was influenced by the recent wisdom teeth pullings. This is what I worked on for several days during the haze of recovery.

Moleskine abstract art. Painted with guasche, Luma dyes & Faber-Castell Pitt pens.

spare pieces

These may or may not be used for something. Spare parts are great for spontaneous art.

Snake Parade

Moleskine watercolour sketchbook. Painted with gouache, Luma dyes & ink.

I have created these for framed art and greeting cards. So far these are holding up well in book form.

Another angle. I am beginning to realize that these need to be viewed with more than one angle.

A new experiment. I've made many three-dimensional pieces, always for frames. This will be the first book.
