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

A blurry night shot of a small silkscreen print. It's a ghost holding a cat amidst the moon sand stars, and the whole thing is glowing in the dark

This Erick Martinez print glows in the dark!

A photo of the television. It's a still of The Invisible Man, from 1933. We're looking at Henry Travers, who plays Clarence in It's A Wonderful Life

Clarence, is that you?

A wooden sculpture of a skeleton, reclined and holing a book up to its face. Its feet are bolted to a pedaling mechanism, like a recumbent bicycle.

Those feet are pedaling now

Various cardboard cutouts pinned to the wall—ducks, a boot, a lamp, a traffic cone, a street sign that reads SHARE THE ROAD, and a skeleton climbing a wooden palette with a paintbrush. There's a table against the wall with tools and supplies on it.

All the pieces so far

Some cardboard shapes laid out on the table forming a head, ribcage, and hips for a skeleton. More strips of cardboard are ready to be included, and a small black knife with a yellow plastic handle sits among it all.

This little knife is so good for cutting corrugated cardboard, wow

A skeleton sculpture made of cardboard. It's kneeling with an outstretched hand, and there's a wooden armature barely visible behind it that apparently enables movement

Got it standing and moving, wow

A distant shot of some architectural detail on a bridge across the LA river. Various horizontal arches and perpendicular supporting walls meet at unexpected angles, creating interesting shadows and lines of sight.
