New HD Photographs of "Morpheus"

Hello! Cat here... Ralph and I spent last weekend playing with new photo equipment, and I'm so excited to share these new HD photographs of "Morpheus" with you all!! Sculpture is difficult to photograph because you can never really capture the real life 3 dimensionality of the piece. However, I genuinely feel these picture bring new life to Ralph's "Morpheus", and will allow the online viewer to get a better feel for what the piece looks like in person... (It's still more i

"The Promise", Sculpture in Progress

Here's a quick update on one of Ralph's newest in-progress large-scale sculptures, currently entitled, "The Promise". He has been spending hours upon hours painstakingly sanding this piece in order to create the highest quality finish possible. He and I have been talking about ideas about colors/patterns. He's got some pretty rad ideas!! It won't change his mind, but I'm curious, how would you all finish it? Feel free to comment below! Cheers! - Cat As always click the lin

Featured Sculpture: Techno-Primitive II

This week I would like to feature a public/outdoor sculpture entitled, "Techno-Primitive II". It is the second of a series of two. They are both large-scale sculptures featuring giant ceramic "heads" in the middle of steel sprues. The ceramic heads feature many layers of different glazes, including a "top secret" glaze that I invented in order for the head to have a very textured surface. This particular piece was on display in downtown Charlotte, NC for over a year as pub

Featured Artwork: The Disclosure of Knowledge

This week I'd like to feature a work on paper of mine called, "The Disclosure of Knowledge". There are many elements in this drawing, and the more you look at it, the more you begin to see and form your own understanding of what is occurring. One of the greatest things about art is that you draw from your own personal experiences and "connect" with different artworks in different ways at different times throughout your life. Stay creative! - RP "The Disclosure of Knowledge"

Half of the Storage Space

Good Evening Everyone... Sorry for the choppy pano picture, but there's not enough light in the storage space to do an good pano so this will have to do. You'll need to zoom in to see all of the details, but here's just HALF of everything in storage. It is really incredible to see everything on level ground since it was being stored on 2 separate loft areas in my old studio, and this is just half of it! Each pallet is jammed packed weighing between 1,000-2,000 lbs. It took

Phase 1 of Moving is Complete!

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates, but we have been INCREDIBLY busy moving. It has been a very labor intensive and tiring 3-4 weeks for Ralph.

All of Ralph's artworks and tools have been put into a storage warehouse while our new space is being renovated. I

Big News! New Studio: Moving Has Begun!

Good Evening! I'm pleased to finally announce that I am moving into a much larger, and much needed new studio! Cat and I are looking forward to this new adventure. This larger space will allow me to work on several projects at once, and I am looking forward to being able to get back to making art instead of packing and moving art. There's a lot of work to do as this large, historic space is in the process of being renovated, but my tools and all of my artworks, are being pac
