The final cut paper shadow box for my upcoming show. This map details what little is known about Land of the Dead, and the outlying Pine Island. I made the parchment using a bathtub and a pot of coffee.
This map is the keystone to the whole show, and shows elements of the other pieces on display. It stitches the whole story together.
Here’s another shadow box for my upcoming show. It makes use of cut-paper shapes. The City of Lost Things (on Pine Island) is where those things that go missing turn up.
This is in a 10″ x 10″ frame. I forgot to photograph it in my studio after it was fully assembled, so here’s a photo from my phone, which shows how it turned out (in a rough, pixely way).
On Pine Island, which is in the dead sea, everything falls under the shadow of Death Cat. At night, other things come out of the shadows.
This shadow box diorama is based on the drawing “Death Cat on Pine Island” which I did a few years ago as part of my sketch blog. This story takes place in a can of Lapsang Souchong, which is no longer available in tins of loose tea leaves. I’m crushed – it’s one of my favorite things.

Here’s how I arrived at this piece.
