Glowing Screens...
"Suppose you shoot a whole movie in a single frame?" was the question photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto asked himself and that lead to these glowing series of photos. By opening the shutter of his camera at the start of a film and closing at its end he created almost otherworldly images that capture the beauty of classic drive-in theaters.

Digital Diversion...
I started making collages while in college, mainly for flyers, or party invites. Later I made them for mix tape art, or just for fun in sketchbooks. They became a sporadic diversion, and creative exercise that took me away from my airbrush art- and now my computer art. I started a new series this summer that use book and art catalog covers as a canvas. 22 Magazine just featured some on their blog. Take a look.

Buck Stops Here...
Looking like a flying saucer that could fly off at any minute, Buckminister Fuller's Dymaxion house was designed to be a modern, affordable and easily assembled mass produced home. After many redesigns and delays only two prototypes were built. One of them can be seen at the Henry Ford Museum.
