My review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2

Really, I just wanted to post a photo of the creepy as hell, bloody Lord Voldemort soul-baby thing that Potter sees when he is in his own head talking to Dumbledore, but I couldn't find any photos online. 

Oh well, sorry.

MadArt Homes Install : Final Weekend

Okay, I'm finally done!  (probably) All it took was two more 9+ hour days and a lot more help from my friends!  Thanks again to all my friends who helped out with the install - Jess, Sean, Brian, Rebecca, Emily, Lisa, Kara, Ian, and especially Laura!

Here's some more shots - and don't forget to actually come by and see the work in person!  The photos do not do it justice...(that's what artists are always supposed to say)

MadArt Homes Install Day 3

Only had a few hours to work this evening, and my back has been a friggin' nightmare, but I got some stuff done, and took some arty shots of the art!

I'm really excited about the shadows at sunset, and about how the porch piece frames the city and landscape.  It's doing excellent things.  

Thanks again to Laura for a bit of help, every bit goes a LONG way!

MadArt Homes Install: Day 2

Got a lot more done on the wall piece today, thanks to the help of Sean Clemmons, Kara Weaver, Ian Schooley, and Becca.  SO GRATEFUL!

I was even able to get started on the porch piece while my friends slaved away at the cut paper project.

MadArt Homes, Install Day 1

HUGE THANKS to Sean Clemmons, Jess Rees, and Laura Dean for invaluable assistance today!  There is no way I can get this project done w/out the help of my generous friends.


Here are a few shots from the installation, day 1, of the MadArt Homes project.  Sean and I painted the walls grey, then Jess, Laura and I tackled the big drawing, the hardest part being cutting out all the shapes with exact-o knifes!  Pain in the ass, but great progress was made.

I'm exhausted, but looking forward to more work.

I managed to install one of the sculptures on top of the drawing towards the end of the day - it looks very insane.  Violent, actually.  I'm happy with that and can't wait to install the rest.
