The title of this mixed media mosaic piece is "Shaman".  It is done a combination of my jewel-like 'torched' CD and DVD material and my iridescent 'torched' confectioner's foils, articulated with tooled impressions, as well as a center piece of tooled aluminum sheet covered with a pattern of the torched foils.  The purple elements in this mosaic are particularly beautiful.  It is currently available for sale.  Please contact me for details if you are interested in purchasing it.

 The title of this mixed media mosaic piece is "Splendor".  It is composed of a combination of my jewel-like 'torched' CD and DVD material and my iridescent 'torched' confectioner's foils articulated with tooled impressions.  I think the color combinations and the composition of this piece are very pleasing.  It is currently available for sale.  Please contact me for details if you are interested in purchasing it.

This new artwork is called 'Kaleidoscopic' and is composed of torched CD and DVD-R materials. Photo doesn't do it justice but it's the best I could do with my limited photographic skills. This one is available. If you are interested, message me.

'Collection III' is a more detailed 3-D array of torched CD and DVD fragments arrayed in more detailed configurations. This one took much longer than the other 'Collection' pieces.

Another 3-D 'Collection'-themed work with jewel-like chips of torched CD and DVD material elevated on tiny pedestals above a foil covered substrate. This one is, of course, titled 'Collection II'.

With this artwork, I am going in a different direction or genre. The 3 dimensional elements are torched foils over medallions or heat-textured CD and DVD plastics. They are elevated on little pedestals and arranged in an array similar to a mineral or insect collection display. Maybe they are some type of alien artifacts - who knows. This one is titled 'Collection I'.

This new piece is another textured aluminum, 3 dimensional artwork that is composed of amorphous discs of striated aluminum covered in torched confectioner's foils arranged in layers above a foil covered substrate. Title is 'Cluster'.

This multi-hued artwork is composed of multiple unique elements. The large central rectangle is a piece of textured board covered in torched foil. Multiple strips of torched CD and DVD 'jewels' complement the other foil covered elements that reflect textured aluminum substrates and deformed CD plastic surfaces. Dig it!!!! The title of this work is 'Zowie!'

Emulating some type of archaic tableau, this 3-dimensional array of textured plaques could be door to an ancient treasure trove, the cover of a reliquary or the magical entry to the tomb of an incredible entity from across the galaxy. Some have said it reminds them of a slab of carbonite with an alien creature embedded within.  Or maybe it's just an eye-pleasing arrangement of colored and textured rectangles concocted in a lonely artist's basement studio. It is a mixed media 'mosaic' that can be framed and wall hung.  The materials are heat-modified confectioners' foils over heat textured pieces of CD and DVD.  The slabs are raised 1/8" above the substrate.  I titled it 'Ancient'.

This rather large mixed media mosaic is a wall hung piece that I did as a commission.  It is composed of many different elements in a curvilinear composition.  Some of the materials used are my torched CD and DVD pieces, thin wood splits covered by torched confectioners foils, plastic tubes covered by the same foils, multiple bead types, soft plastic sign board pieces cover by copper foil and tooled with intricate little patterns, etc.  I named it 'Treasure Weave'.  Due to the curvilinear configuration, almost every piece of the larger elements had to be custom made for its unique location - so this artwork took me months to complete.  Click on the photo to see a larger version.
