TO SERVE MAN

 

This book, inspired by the iconic “Twilight Zone” episode “To Serve Man” (Season 3, episode 24, 1962), in which aliens who visit earth carry a book with this foreign inscription. Later in the show, it’s revealed that it says “To Serve Man”. Initially thought to mean that the aliens want to be our servants, it is later discovered it means to serve a dish….it’s a cook book. To make this, I lasered the design onto vinyl to create a stencil, and then spray-painted the letters.

ACRYLIC POUR GUITAR, 2019

Image
  Starting in Feb 2019, after seeing a video of this technique, I “discovered” acrylic pouring, where one pours several colors of acrylic paint into a cup, and then pours it onto something, creating intricate swirls. This led to me creating numerous pieces (some are featured later), and culminating in this last one, which I did after gaining some experience and developing confidence that I could do it without ruining the guitar or wasting a lot of paint (again, this was shortly after my divorce, and even $20 worth of paint was a hit). I actually messed this up a bit, when I accidentally touched the guitar after a few days and realized the paint wasn’t 100% dry (you can see the bluish spot on the top, just above the bridge). Still, this is one of my most striking pieces ever, I feel, and it hung prominently at my club Spoonz and was revered by many guests.

STEAMPUNK VIOLIN, 2019

Image
  My friend Kim gave me this Violin shortly after we met in 2019. It was busted pretty badly, and she liked my Steampunk instruments and gave it to me to “do my thing”, and this is the result. As opposed to my guitars, this is a non-electric instrument, so I had to be tamer with body modifications, so this is a relatively simple transformation, consisting mostly of a paint job and the cogs glued on the bottom-right of the body.
