Various cardboard sculptures arranged in the driveway—the kneeling skeleton and ducks, the painter climbing up a woooden palette, a traffic cone

Figuring out placement for Halloween

A head-on view down through the carport tent. Unpainted cardboard sculptures line the sides of the space, mostly filling out its length.

It all seems to be about the right size!

A cardboard skeleton propped up on a work table. It's got a welding mask on, and no arms yet, and its legs are just temporarily clamped in place. One leg is up on a precarious stack of rolls of tape.

Figuring out leg placement for the welder. Proud of those ribs.

A weathered plywood board painted white and tied to the limb of a tree with a discolored white ribbon. Three printed sheets of what appears to be poetry are stapled to the board; the only readable one at this distance says “Silens - this is how Shakespeare spelled ‘silence’ - isn't it beautiful?”

Got my booster at Children's Hospital and they gave me a Dum Dum

A janky printed ad for “Christian Wilde’s Enhanced Turmeric Formula™ Dietary Supplement.” It's framed, but clearly wasn't designed for the shape of frame it's in. Awkward all around.

A cocktail and an e-reader resting on a nice wooden table at an outdoor restaurant. The reader is open to a page of Bram Stoker's Dracula

Ombra Wine Bar

A cardboard skeleton, assembled up on a table. Tools and supplies are on another table behind it. It's kneeling down and reaching out with a gloved hand.

He's doing it

A cardboard sculpture. It's a skeleton with an exaggerated expression. The piece is mostly flat, but layers of smaller shapes of cardboard give it a topographic depth

Pleased with this layered cardboard technique, but we'll see how it looks with paint
