Washing Oprah

Oprah was looking a little frumpy and sad, so it was time for upkeep. I took apart other
sculptures and grabbed extra cotton and stuffed her tight again. 

Then it was time for a bath. 

Then it was time for dinner. yumm

Fighting for survival

More RabbitsI haven't been on such a tangent since Britney shaved her head, but in the ongoing
saga of my depicting rabbits come these images from Milan. Apparently, the airport
in Milan has always retained a population of hares but recently, because of an increase 
in population, they have been (or were) inhabiting and breeding on the runways, disrupting 
flight departures and endangering landings.
Good for you hares. 
The result is a collection of images of uniformed guards and police rounding up these animals, catching them and locking them up. The poor animals are only trying to live their lives on 
their land freely and without interference from greater powers. I immediately thought back to my silverpoints of Tehranians clashing with their infringing bullies in uniform.

So, I have begun combining the imagery.

There are more to come.  You're going to love this, just love it...

Hearts in Space

The San Francisco General Hospital FoundationThe Hearts In San Francisco Project is an art benefit for San Francisco General that is coming around again in 2009. I decided that the best thing to paint on a 5' fiberglass heart is,(what else?) FLYING RABBITS!! 
Blue patterned clouds intricately decorate the background, or, "backsky" if you prefer filled with loads of happy, playful, flying bunnies. 
This is my proposal rendering. It is a juried entry. I would love to see this completed. I think it would make you laugh out loud. Pick me..  pick me..  pick me.. We'll see...
