I create artwork mainly for display in Free Little Art Galleries (where, if you find them, you can grab and take them home). These are, generally, digital art that I make prints of, mounting them on a backing material with magnets so they can easily be displayed on your favorite appliance.
I’ve also been making sculptural works intended to serve as vessels for of complements to ikebana arrangements. See the ikebana vessels here.
In Case of Emergency
This box is magnetized to stick to your fridge. The cover pulls off without damage with a little effort. The contents vary depending what sort of emergency I want to prepare people for.
Framing little pictures
A lot of the images below are little artworks I print and mount magnets onto. I have a couple different techniques for that -- this is the fancier and more durable way, with a protective plexiglass front.
Back of same picture
On the back are magnets to stick it to stuff.

Book earrings
I write books -- and make earrings that look like tiny versions of the books.
Ideal Diner
We lunched at this diner in NE Minneapolis — I don’t think it’s retro, I think it just hasn’t changed since it opened. Anyway, food is good, prices are reasonable, and I loved their sign so I reproduced it in miniature.

Wake up!

No Parking
For me, the scene evoked a mood. There are parking spaces marked, but apparently no parking, for anyone, ever.
Last Thoughts of Frog
This frog is about to become dinner. What is it thinking?
Giromino
Is it an ungulent, or a popular pastime?
Godzilla vs. Ms. Pac-man
Movie meets retro video game and they face off. Is this a battle or a kiss? Time will tell.
