Here is a sneak peek of my contribution to a group neon art show, opening in Seattle next month.

Neon letters in an outline font that spell out the word BELONG in all capital letters. Each letter is a different color: magenta, green, purple, orange, blue yellow.

Here's three signs that I recently made for another artist. Clear red neon letters mounted on smoke acrylic.

Here is an older artwork I made in 2019. It sold, so I no longer have it, but it's one of my favorites and sometimes I miss it ☀️⭐

Same gas, different colors. It's all argon gas, but the outer ring also has a small amount of mercury in the tubes, which shifts the color to blue as it vaporizes. "Regeneration", 2023 16" x16"

I'm a day late, but in celebration of record store day here is a piece I'm currently working on that will eventually be mounted to a metal cut out of the same shape. If you grew up listening to 45 rpm records you will recognize it!

A pink neon light in the shape of the plastic centerpiece that goes inside a 45 record to allow it to play on a turntable record player.

I just finished this sign last week for a barber shop opening up on South Street in Philly. Here it is on my shop table.
#neon #neonsign #barbershop #signsinphilly #eveningneon

A neon sign in red letters that reads Anthony's Barber Shop. The word Anthony's is in a script letter style, and the words barber shop are in block letters.

Yes, it’s quiet here. I haven’t gone back to Facebook and don’t plan to. I haven’t been on here much but that is mostly because I’m preferring more analog living over digital these days 😀✨

GOOD LUCK APPEALS TO EVERYONE. This is a found object art piece that I made a few years back.
#foundobjects #foundobjectart #vintage #trinkets #bones #rust

And art piece made using found objects. The frame is 4 times longer than it is wide, and the objects are mounted to a wood panel inside the frame. At the top spells out, 'I can walk under ladders', the words stacked above each other forming a triangular shape. Beneath the words is a wishbone. Beneath that is a leather star. Underneath the star is a vintage bisque doll holding out a coin that reads 'good luck'. The doll is placed inside an upturned, old rusty horseshoe. Below the horseshoe is an old skeleton key. Finally underneath everything is a clipping from an old newspaper which reads' Good luck appeals to everyone'.

Testing testing 1..2..3...I got the Pinksky app and this is my first post. Not sure if it also pops up on my Bluesky account, so this post will help me find out! Here is some neon I made that hangs in my kitchen window. Groovy man.

Neon lights hanging in a window. One is a flower with a blue center and pink petals. The other is a yellow smiley face with purple eyes and mouth.

Just got home from seeing Kim Deal at the Keswick Theater. She was excellent! She sounded so good and was smiling the whole time and having a blast. She played her new album in its entirety, plus several Breeders songs. If you haven't heard her new album yet, check it out

Spark! An artwork from last year, that I hope brings a smile to your face.

This is an art piece by Eve Hoyt. It has 6 swirl shaped neon tubes arranged like flower petals around a center that is a vintage, plastic doll baby face, which glows pink from the neon tubes. The colors of the neon are purple, magenta and pink. The size of the entire piece is 13" x 13".

It has been about 3 weeks since I deleted my Facebook account, I have to say that I do not miss it at all. And have been spending less time on my other socials too. I highly recommend it! Anyway, here's a fun little thing I made last week. Read the alt text for descriptive details.

Found object art piece using a vintage, walnut wood tissue box cover. I cut out phrases from a 1975 issue of the tabloid magazine National Enquirer and put them together to say "Years of Suffering... it's so easy anyone can do it!" and attached them to the front of the tissue box. The opening of the box has an almond shape, resembling the outline of an eye, and inside of it I put a convex mirror for the 'pupil', which when gazed into, puts the viewer as the largest point of focus. Not shown in the photo is the secret message "Time To Awaken", which can't be seen until the viewer gets close enough to peek inside the box.
