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 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

Casting of a Beautiful Mold

As summer begins to wind down, my goal is to start and finish casting the first sculpture from the first of the three molds that I have been working on this summer. I will update you all in a couple of days with that process. In the meantime, here’s a picture of what I just finished, which was casting the mold to the second shape. The mold came out beautifully, and ideas are already running through my head of the possibilities of its finish. Stay creative! - RP #sanding #mo

Special Blog: Get to Know the MadArtist!

Can I just take a few minutes to selfishly, and unselfishly, brag on Ralph so you can get to know the man behind the art? Ok, thanks. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Ralph, let me tell you from the second you meet him, you instantly realize that he is a bonafide artist with amazing energy and a young soul. You can see from the look in his eyes that he is constantly absorbing and processing the visual world around him. When you watch him working at
