Woah. I've been a total slacker with this whole "I'm gonna keep this updated" thing. So I, uh, I guess I kind of lied a bit with that, huh? Sorry 'bout that. I'm not gonna say I'm gonna keep this updated right now either though, because I'm not.

I'm working on a couple of new pieces right now and when I'm finished with them I plan on redoing my site with a new blog and everything. I want to make something really simple and all in one so I'm gonna have a go with the whole wordpress thing and see what I can do.

In the meantime if you want to stay updated you can check out my slightly-more-frequently updated twitter or my flickr.

So again its been way too long since my last update. I've been kind of slacking lately art-wise. A little over a month and a half ago I finally got a job and getting the balance between that and making stuff was a little tough. I think I'm getting closer now though so I should be getting more done soon.

I have started working on a new guy though. This is a head I had been working on and I molded and casted it yesterday. This guy is going to be my first attempt at making a puppet. Just a simple rod puppet, pretty much. I'm excited about it. I've wanted to make a puppet for a good while now.

I need to start updating this more.

The three-person show at Rivet is up for a few more days. You can see it here.

I'm also going to have this piece in the "Scientific Evolution" show at Distinction Gallery. The show opening is August 8th from 6-11pm. I'm really happy with this guy. I even made the shadowbox for him that I think came out pretty nice for a first attempt at making one.

Three person show that I'm a part of opening this weekend at Rivet Gallery. Opening is on Saturday the 4th from 7 - 10 pm.

I was really hoping to make it out for the opening but, unfortunately, it's not going to happen. Hopefully someone will take some pictures so I can see everything set up together.

Haven't updated this in a little while.

I've been busy working on my pieces for the three person show I'm gonna be in at Rivet Gallery in July along with Amanda Spayd and J Shea 9.

I have made a twitter account though and I update that more often. So you could follow me there. http://www.twitter.com/jake_waldron

The clay I ordered last week finally came in. Now I can start working on the guys I'm making for some shows coming up. I'll have a few guys at Rivet Gallery in July and then a guy at Distinction Gallery in August.

Now I've got to get to work.

Last night I finished up the second of two commissions I had been working on. I'm really happy with how they turned out. I keep trying to push my sculpting and painting with each one. I want to start pushing the clothing even further now too. These guys are both around 13.5" - 14" tall.
