About Me |
|
"Toys" at Gallery1988 LA. Opening Reception: April 1, 2008. With Cut Paper Art of some of the coolest toys of the 80's (by me!). Now available from Sky Publishing Purchase at Amazon.com The Cut Paper Ninja slips silently through the shadowy back-alleys of Tokyo. He bursts from the darkness, furiously slashing with his blades, carving jagged edges and trippy images. His sharpened senses are atuned to the new colors and textures that will fall victim to his skills and form the building blocks of his images. His movement is the quietest wind. His art the loudest fury. Then he is gone, faded into shadow. |
