New Pieces for Upcoming Summer Shows

 Here are a few new pieces 

that I will be debuting at one or another of my summer shows.

Look for these pieces this summer.

Miniatures by Dan

 I've begun a new series of sculpture that I'm calling

"Miniatures by Dan"

These are small pieces.

They range in size from 2" to "8 in height.

Thus will be an ongoing series.

Paperweights

The other day while puttering around in the scrap pile,

feeling totally unambitious, 

I decided that I was thinking too hard and decided to grab a few some small pieces

and just get to work.

The results were paperweights.

They are made from bits and pieces that I would 

usually incorporate into larger pieces.

It was a pleasant diversion and helped to get me out of my funk.

If you are interested in purchasing one

they are available at An Octopus Garden

in Millville, NJ

or on my ETSY page.

I Gotta Get Better

I really must do a better job of keeping
current with my posts. It seems there
is always something else to do.













Since my last post, I have been busy.
I've had shows in Millville, Ocean City,
Lancaster and Berwyn.

I've also been doing well on my Etsy
shop. You can view my Etsy shop
here.

I have a show coming up next month
at Gloucester County College. I will
be posting more about that next week.
I promise.

All the pieces shown on this page
have found new homes. I hope their
new owners enjoy them as much
as  did

Earth Day 2013

 

 

 

 

 

Once again An Octopus's Garden has invited

me to be the featured artist for Earth Day Weekend.

I really enjoy being a part of the Earth Day

celebrations. It gives me an opportunity to show

what can be done with used and recycled materials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are many people doing many amazing

things with recycled material, from art to building

construction, and everything in between. One doesn't

need to be overly creative or have to "think outside

the box" to be a part. Just using one less paper cup

or napkin a day is an easy way to help protect our

dwindling and fragile resources.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This year's festivities kick off with the Third Friday

events on Friday, April 19, 2013, 6-9:30 pm.

Third Friday is always fun. The art district stays open

late and there is music all over town with great shopping,

food and drink.

 

 

 

 

I have been busy making new sculpture for the weekend.

I will also have with me more of my WORDS . They always

seem to be a favorite.

 

 

I have created a new series of sculpture, STICKS. These

are small sculptures designed to be both fun and

affordable. I have made one larger version of a STICK

sculpture that will be given to a lucky attendee. So stop by

and put your name in the hat.

 

 

 

 



This sculpture will be given away to the winner of the drawing.

Update

It's been quite a while since my last
post, so I thought it was time to catch up
on a few things.


I was in a show at Annex 24 Gallery in Lancaster,
PA for the months of November, December, and
January. The show was a success, with throngs
of people out enjoying the holiday events.


I had a great time up there. We got to see the
sights around Lancaster County, which is always one
of our favorite places to visit.

Crusade

This Saturday, March 23, I will be in a show opening
 at Tria Art Gallery in Woodbury, NJ. Tria is a new
gallery that just recently opened. It's nice to see
the arts coming to some local towns in the
Gloucester County area.



I will once again be the Featured Artist for Earth
Day Weekend at An Octopus's Garden in
Millville, NJ.  More on that later.


So I have been keeping busy. I just haven't been
keeping current with my posts on here.

Earth Day 2012

This year I will be the featured artist

at An Octopus's Garden for Earth

Day Weekend, April 20-22, 2012.

To celebrate Earth Day, I will present

a selection of my small, affordable

sculpture. As with all of my sculpture,

all of these pieces are created with

used and recycled metals.

An Octopus's Garden features a unique

and eclectic selection of fine art, jewelry,

and other 'one of a kind' items that are all

assembled under one roof for your

convenience.

In addition to my earth-friendly art, they also

feature other artists who believe as I do that

there is an abundance of used and neglected

material out there just waiting to be given a

second life.

You will find paintings on old maps,

jewelry made from repurposed items,

and art created from old vinyl LPs,

skateboards and many other unconventional

items.

So I invite you to join us for a wonderful weekend.

Friday evening from 6-9pm will be Millville's

Third Friday celebration, which is always fun.

 An Octopus's Garden is located at:

The Village on High

LOVE

A while ago, Maryann Kuntz of An Octopus's Garden
informed me that the shop would be having a
special shopping event for Valentines Day.
For quite some time she has been asking me
to create pieces with a topical theme. That isn't
normally what I do, but I did make a few spiders
for her at Halloween. They moved fairly well, but I
didn't plan on doing other holiday pieces.

With Valentines Day coming up, and me having
some free time, I decided to make a few pieces
with LOVE as the subject. I took a few down
to her shop and they were sold the next day.
So I spent all day Friday making more.

This has been a fun endeavor. I was quite surprised
by the many different ways I found to make those
four letters.

Valentines Day is right around the corner. This year,
rather than getting the same old flowers that will be
brown in a week, consider getting your Valentine
a gift that will last a lifetime.
These are available exclusively at An Octopus's Garden.
They are located in the Village.on.High, on High St.
in Millville, NJ

 

An Octopus's Garden

"An Octopus's Garden" is a wonderful
shop located in the Village on High shopping

village in Millville, NJ.  This is in the heart of
Millville's art district. Mike and Maryann, the owners, are great folks who will warmly
welcome you to their shop.







They feature an eclectic mix of one-of-a-kind

handmade items created by local artists. You
won't find any cheesy, mass-produced,
products there. If that is what you want,
there is a Wal-Mart down the road.
However, if you are looking for a truly
unique item, be it a piece of jewelry, a painting,
a piece of sculpture, or maybe some artistic
stationary, then this is the place for you.

Whether shopping for yourself or looking
for that perfect gift, they are sure to have
something to fit the bill, AND you won't
have to break the bank. They have items
appropriate for every budget.





I'm proud to display my work at "An
Octopus's Garden".  So stop in sometime
soon and see what they have in store.
You're sure to find something exciting and new.
