Bob Marley in Blocks

This is a project I just finished with my music students. The size is about 40 x 50". They used colored pencils, pencils, markers and pens. I'm going to see about making posters in black and white. The black background to the left is actually a thick posterboard ... I can't think what it's made of right now, but its mounted with double sided foam-tape on a foam board. Yes. foam board. haha! Black foamboard.

Trumpet and Cello

This is the cello. I think the idea at the time was to manipulate the shape of a cello and infuse it what what a human posture would be. A cello playing it-self, holding the bow across the strings. It was difficult to get a good picture because it was done with pencil.


The idea with this trumpet came when I was thinking of jazz trumpeters and the FIRE they create through the music they make on their horn. I imagined what the sound would look like if you could see it come out of the bell.
