Modern Address Plaques Taken to a Whole New Level

Man oh man was I stoked to work on this one. First of all, I got to work with these custom powder coated house numbers from Dwell.

Then, I get to see my work mounted ....

ON THIS HOUSE. Whaaaa????

 I mean seriously, right? That's me on the far left - my work on this ridiculously amazing CA house - hopefully forever and ever and ever ever after.

Custom Blues

Even though it's not technically monochromatic ...

the 2 blended deep colors come together so smoothly.

New favorite color combo.

We'll be exposing it all.

The Seventh Motel

A recent commission piece turned out so rad. Love it so much, one of the biggest pieces we've made. Had a hard time getting a picture without reflections. "The Seventh Motel."

Installed right over her amazing couch (and dog!).

A couple of close ups of the various cameos.

Custom House Numbers Gone Good

I love custom pieces. Your ideas, new numbers, new shapes, new ideas make for some of the best moments.

Black on white - super striking. Super bold.

 This custom order used some of my most favorite numbers. Modern, yet tricky.

 This piece, really stretched my mind and my ability. Had to really think and work to make it happen - and wow - it really worked. One of my absolute favorite plaques I have ever built.

It's the size of a toddler, and has the presence of a bull at the running of the bulls. It really is amazing -- and owns everything!!

A batch of address plaques

Just a few of my favorite June plaques. I used to think that every plaque should be transparent - but the more I see the opaque colors the more I like. And then, when they get tricked out with a custom request, I like them even more. 

When I started making these plaques, in my mind it was always about modern or mid-century homes. I love when I get pictures of the plaques on every type/style of house - and they totally work. Just goes to show, gotta be open minded.

Big Medium's WEST 2014 is Here!!

Two weekends of the Westside's best art. We will be one of the many stops --- so hit us up (location information below). We'll be blowing out lots of pieces -- here's a couple of new ones.

"Handjob" - "She's Handy" - "Multi-tasking" This piece has so many titles - we just can't decide.

And it's stacked on 3 colors of plexi - art from all angles.

 "1962 Black Velvet" Sleek black plexi on black frame -- our take on the black velvet paintings - collage style.

Yellow ... It's the New Everything

Without even realizing it, I have become addicted to yellow, and in particular, this color of yellow plexiglas. Every piece of art made, my immediate gut reaction,  "Let's assemble it on yellow." 

 

 And then the ultimate happened -- someone ordered a plaque -- on opaque YELLOW plexiglas.

It looks unbelievable -- and their house, will be noticed. In love.

WEST 2014 Group Show

April 12th is the big DUE WEST 2014 Group Show - The kickoff for the WEST Austin Studio Tour that happens in May. Well over 100 artists will have art on display (and to buy). 

"Hooked" is the piece we're showing. The pictures I took aren't the greatest, as it was a serious working up to the last moment to make the deadline.

  

We are expecting a full on stampede from all the rabid Daryl Hannah/Splash fans.

Other title options were "Hooker" "Mounting Hannah" and "Land Ho." If ya buy it, you can pick the name.


DUE WEST! April 12th 6-10pm 6406 N. IH-35, Suite 2850A

Dark Green Address ... Of Course

Go Big, always.

Onward
