The distant bank of the LA river. Mountains in the background, and birds perched on the wire above the shallow water.

Los Angeles River Bike Path

The edge of the bike path under the Glendale-Hyperion bridge. The steep slope of the bank meets with a solid wall holding up the bridge and a sharp angle, creating a strange and uninviting little angular passage

This is where my Halloween show takes place

Los Angeles River Bike Path

Two sections of the Glendale-Hyperion bridge, seen from the path that passes below them. They are both arched, but offset verticall, such that the upper edge of one is complete below the other and creates a little slice of sunlight. Through the gap we see power lines.

Look at how these architectural pieces interact!!!

Golden State Freeway

The sun setting on the LA river. The Red Car Trolley foot bridge cross in the background, a sandy portion of the bank precedes it, and in the foreground is a concrete anchor bearing a hasty graffito that reads “CRUST”

Los Angeles River

A selfie where my face is mostly out of frame. Behind me is a long perspective through the house, and in the far background is Travis Barker the Dog watching me from the sofa.

Felt like I was being watched

Various portions of cardboard sculpture: a duck, a boot with a lege bone sticking out, a skeletal foot, and a welding torch being held by disembodied gloves

Halloween pieces coming together

Two puppets: a vampire couple, recently having emerged from their open coffins

Bob Baker Marionette Theater

Five puppets in a row: four fairies in various colors, and a dandy mouse between them

Bob Baker Marionette Theater

Three cardboard sculptures, nearly complete. On the ground is a kneeling skeleton beside a limbless torso in a welding mask; on the table looming above them is the bust of a skeleton in a heavy coat, holding an upturned work boot.
