I am excited to announce a new partnership with PotatoMike of NYC! They will be exclusively featuring some of my sculptures from my series, "Genes & Chromosomes" as well as my most recent works on paper series, "Litmus Series". "At PotatoMike, you’ll find a lot more to do than just buy art. Every work we feature comes from an artist who has been specially chosen for some original, provocative quality they bring to the mix."

Featured Work on Paper: "Love in a New World"

For this #TBT I'd like to feature a drawing from my "A Busy Mind" Series entitled, "Love in a New World". Our lives have both subtlety and drastically changed over the years through mirroring the continual evolution of personal technology. Love, or at least the way in which we show each other love, has changed in ways unimaginable to our even just our grandparents. We are indeed living and loving in a new world. Be kind. Be happy. Make the most of every day. - RP "Love in

Featured Work on Paper: Shape Study #3

Hey Everyone, Just thought I'd let everyone know that Cat and I have shot and posted some new works on paper that are a part of my "Genes & Chromosomes" Series. Be sure to check them all out. This particular piece called, "Shape Study #3" was more difficult to photograph because I used an iridescent ink on part of it. It is really cool to see this piece in person because it changes depending on the viewing angle. I hope you all enjoy it, and keep checking back for new piece

"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. However, I'm happy to report that we finally completed phase 1 of our move by moving the two final and biggest pieces of art and equipment left in the old studio... the huge steel "skeleton" and the forklift!! 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
