The Project:

  1. A true private work space.
  2. Comprehensive book of my work.
  3. Limited editions of mustache portraits.

The Studio. For the last seven years I’ve rented, shared, worked out of a bedroom in a house (not exactly safe now with two kids). Each move requires too much time to reorganize and reconfigure my equipment to fit the space. Currently my studio practice happens at work in a shared office space that doubles as a shared working studio. Although its proximity to my job is great it doesn’t afford me privacy to think, create, take risks all to further develop my practice.

The Book. To date I’ve been included in many books, most recently Humor in Craft by Brigitte Martin, all featuring one or more pieces. However, I’ve yet to produce a comprehensive book highlighting my favorite works, successful projects and bodies of work. I’m interested in this to not only mark my accomplishments but to offer collectors, colleagues and students something affordable to share in comparison with most of my works. 

The Limited Editions. The Mustache Portrait series is my most current studio project at this time.  The creation of these two editions gives the opportunity for me to continue working in this series, exploring process and aesthetics while also providing collectors with two affordable designs. The Wiggly Mustache Portrait No.2 edition is similar to previous works, but the Victorian Woman with Mustache, brooch is my first attempt to take this series into a jewelry format.

The Budget. The following is a simple breakdown of the overall project.

  • materials and labor for a 10' x 16' studio space (foundation, framing, roof, windows, siding) - $5,400
  • materials for the limited edition mustache portraits - $150
  • commission fee for the graphic design for the book - $300
  • fee for the author of the forward statement in the book - $150

Total Budget - $6,000

I really hope you are as excited as I am about these new limited editions, the first book of my work and this next big step for my studio practice! 

Thank you!
