Well, I still want to get a new blog format going, but I haven't gotten that done yet. I put some work into it over the past month, but since my webpage coding skills aren't the best, it's not exactly working like it's supposed to, so I'm making do with this for now. I'll get it done eventually.

In other news, I've gotten quite a few requests for eggs recently, so this weekend I'll be brewing up a new batch of dye and getting back to work. So there will hopefully be a few new updates and pictures in the gallery coming soon.

Good afternoon everyone! I clearly haven't been working on any new eggs lately, but I have actually been working on other new artistic projects. I have therefore decided to retire this news update and start an art blog. There I can update you all on new eggs, new displays and shows, as well as updates on other projects I am involved in. I want a place I can post non-egg related artwork and news, as well as avoid the spam I've been accumulating in the comments here.

I am currently working on developing this new page, so it is not quite ready yet, but soon I hope to finish it and replace this news page. Nothing else should change on obsidiae.com, and the news link at the top will simply point to the new blog.

In other news, I have recently started a tattoo apprenticeship with an amazing artist here in Indianapolis. The studio belongs to the Stutz Artist Association which is the largest association of working artists in Indiana. This weekend is the annual Stutz Open House, where all the studios will be open to the public, displaying the work of over 70 artists and the space they create it in. I have not been to this in the past, but it should be pretty amazing and if you have the chance I encourage you to come check it out. Times, location, and other details can be found here. I will have a selection of eggs and other work on display at the open house.

Hello everyone and my apologies for the long silence. Unfortunately due to other ongoing projects and time commitments I have not been working on eggs lately and currently have no plans to resume in the near future. I probably will not be adding any new updates to the webpage for a while. You are still free to contact me regarding any private commissions and I will address these on a case by case basis.

I've been working on putting together a custom order, and thought I would share the necklace I just finished, based off of a chicken egg I did previously with the same design:


It can be found in the jewelry gallery with all the other necklaces.

I currently seem to be in a necklace mood, so expect to see some new eggs over the next few weeks, in both old and new designs.

Good morning! Well, my interview last month resulted in a tiny plug for my work in the June edition of the Indianapolis Monthly which just came out yesterday. Very exciting. Apparently good things are coming of it, as I've already gotten an order and will have to part with two of my favorite ostrich eggs.

For anyone new reading this post who might have found their way from the magazine, please keep in mind that I am more than happy to create unique custom eggs or recreate any of the eggs in my gallery that I have made before. Just because you don't see what you want on the For Sale page doesn't mean I can't make one for you, usually in a week or less (depending, of course, on the size of the egg). Just send me an email and let me know what you have in mind. Anyway, to anyone new, welcome, and enjoy the site!
