Tick Tock Clocks

This past year I was going through boxes of my artwork to have it professionally photographed for a portfolio. I felt revitalized bringing out the old work and remembering the styles and mediums I’ve used through the years.

These photos show new works I made using old designs. The mugs use drawings from when I was in my studio with Devin when he was age 5. I would draw and he would draw. I saved his work and knew he was an artist because of the detail! The post A mugful of memories tells about decorating the mugs using his designs. I had never done this before so I did not know how the colors would turn out. That made it an adventure, a mystery like being a child.

The “tick tock clocks” are new creations using designs I did 40 years ago in making 30″ tall plastic sculptures for the schools. There again I found my inner child!
