8/1/23 UPDATE:
After a long break, the Goblin Art studio is finally reopening!

There will be a new emphasis on giant masks and giant puppets (think parades and public spectacle) and on creating tutorials for all you folks who want to make cool stuff. I also hope to offer a limited quantity of wearable art masks for sale in late winter/early spring 2024.

My Wildland Roots website will be retired, with some of the elements there being integrated into this new Goblin Art website. Wildland Roots was a fun and interesting project, but wasn't quite the right fit for the work I'm feeling called to return to. But I do look forward to continuing to use recycled materials whenever possible in my creations, and natural materials whenever it is a good fit for a particular piece.

"Ruru the Owl". A one-of-a-kind wearable mask. Paper mache, acrylic paint. June 2023.

Other things in the works:

•The 3rd Annual Portland All Souls River Procession this November 4th in Portland's Cathedral Park.  https://www.instagram.com/allsoulspdx/

•PDX Monsters - a monster artist collective, with folks building big wearable creatures then gathering together for public rumpusing purposes during the year. http://www.instagram.com/pdxmonsters

And of course, continuing to build this new website... Stay tuned for a gallery of past creations, tutorials, and more!
