Hi folks!
I quit my burger flipping’ job, which means I’m back to having less money, but more time to dedicate to making art! I’m getting a fresh new batch of wood cookies, time to put some pet portraits on them.
Now offering Natural OR Amber finish!
Check out the listing here, or read on…
About my process:
I grew up surrounded by animals, on my family’s little farm in southern New Hampshire. I currently live with two cats and a parrotlet, and I study falconry here in Maine. I know how animals become a part of the family, how close you grow to them, and how they change you. I make portraits that are as unique as your pet. I spend extra time getting the details right because I know how much they matter.
The wood cookies are salvaged from fallen branches that I find in the woods around my family’s farm. I dry the branch, then slice the cookies on a chop saw, then continue to dry them completely to ensure no cracks will form. Every wood cookie is unique, and vary from 2.5-4 inches in diameter.
When you purchase, you can send me as many photos of the pet that you think are useful. I will use all of the photos to compile an image that I think accurately represents the animal. After doing a few sketches on paper, I will choose a wood cookie that will fit the portrait well, then I will draw a pencil drawing of the animal on to the cookie. At this point I will check in with you, and show you a picture of the drawing, so you can ask for changes or tell me to move forward. Once we move ahead, I will burn the portrait in by hand with an iron. Once that’s complete I will check in again, showing you a picture for approval before I add the finish. If you approve, I will coat the entire cookie in shellac, either natural or amber depending on your choice, and add anything else you selected (like a magnet or eye hook). Then it’s on it’s way to you!
The whole process takes only a couple of days, depending on when you order, what my schedule is and my current workload. The longest part is the sketching at the beginning, when I work to really capture your pet’s spirit!
Portraits are $25. Add a magnet for 50 cents, or an eye hook for $1. I will consider bulk discounts!
Thank you for looking!

Lockdown happened and I started painting on some wooden hearts I’d been hoarding.

Love how this turned out. I’ve added some close ups so you can see the detail in the engraving. It took some trial and error while designing, but I ended up having to do it in a few passes with the laser cutter to get the effect I wanted.
It’s an 8.5x8.5 inch Wood medallion that you can hang on a wall or rest on a desk/shelf as a decoration.
If you want one it’s listed on my etsy shop (link in profile). Supplies are limited as the engraving and finishing process takes time. If there aren’t any available send me a message and I can let you know when a new one will be available.

Playing Mario Maker gave me serious nostalgia for old pixel art. So I made this large scale NES controller. I used a few of my favorite characters for the pattern. Do you recognize all of them?
This is a 13 inch wall/shelf decoration. I love how it turned out but man does it take a long time on the laser cutter. Check it out on our shop if you want to pick one up (link in profile). Free shipping to the US. ;)

Coffin set belonging to the temple singer Tamutnofret, composed of an outer coffin, an inner coffin and a “mummy-cover”, a full-length death mask that was placed over the mummy. The origin of the set is a now unknown grave in Thebes. It can be dated back to the reign of Ramses II (approx. 1279-1213 BCE).

Complex Loop Sculpture That Combines The Past And The Future
Artist Chris Fox is the artist who has created “Interloop” a monumental sculpture that is hanging from Sydney Wynyard Station ceiling, a modern twist played on an ancient escalator.
The wooden escalator had been in use for eight decades now and just when it was time for it to retire, Fox has given it a new life in the form of Interloop. The sculpture loops together two pairs of reconfigured escalators that are more than 50 metres long where the artist has incorporated 244 wooden treads and four combs from the station’s original wooden escalators. Being from Sydney himself, Chris Fox, through his this piece, has found a way to connect the journeys made in the past to the ones that needs to be made in this historic station. Fox also explains that Interloop is intended to permanently reflect the motion of the escalators and to communicate to the that passengers that they should remain stationary while riding them.
His installation stands as a proud tribute and you catch glimpses of it here.
