Octopus Design
This is the mock-up I made for a project that never happened. It was meant for a rotunda ceiling in a new beach house and would’ve looked amazing. I think they were over budget and the first things to get cut are the fancy flourishes. Oh well. I still love my little octopus. I think I succeeded in…
The Sands of Time

The Eight Foot Heron
His name is Michael. That’s what the homeowner named him. “After the recent hurricane”, she said. I love that he has a name. This handsome devil is nearly eight feet tall and graces the entryway of a home in Beaufort, NC. I think it’s obvious that it’s a (huge) homage to Audubon.
