I'm A Fan of Russian Prisoner Tattoos


Materials: Fan Blades, Wallpaper, Paint

The images on the fan blades are sourced from the book of Russian Criminal Tattoos Encyclopedia Volume I. (I am still amazed that these exist on bodies somewhere.)

The Gift-Wrapped Casket


Materials: Casket, Gift Wrap, Funeral Home Show Room, Digital Image

This took about an hour and a half with the help of a couple friends. I owe credit to Chet Hay for his fancy photo skills (he took the picture). Also, I would like to thank the Schoedinger Funeral Home for allowing me to do this there and being so open and nice.
