A cardboard box with a whole lot of trouble inside! Two cats out for a row in a red rowboat have broken an oar and gone over the falls, their pizza is going to get wet, their cooler has come open and their beer is falling out. But wait... An Angel has come to their aid!!!  Alas, probably too late and all he seems to be able to offer them is a golden anvil. Oh well.  Below the waterfall is the well-positioned establishment of two entrepreneurs who have opened a ship-breaking business. What luck, for them!!! This is Everding and Farrell, two beavers who have built a house out of salvaged vessels. Everding is wearing glasses, and Farrell is wearing a black stove-pipe hat made from a most unspeakable material.  Their signs reads "Everding & Farrell, LLC.  -Shipbreakers- 'We Finish The Job.'"

Detail of the afore-described diorama, showing the angel offering the lifeline of a golden anvil, which may not actually be particularly helpful at this moment.

Detail of Everding & Farrell's well-positioned Shipbreaking establishment, below the waterfall (described in more detail in the first Alt-text). They have not only built a colorful house out of boat parts, but they've also salvaged an anchor, a beach ball, and a tire.  Farrell has a broken oar in his mouth.

A cardboard box diorama featuring a helicopter rescuing downed aviators from an ice berg. ...Only the aviators just happen to be ceramic cats. The helicopter, as you well know, is a Sikorsky HNS-1 (Navy/Coast Guard version of the R-4) with floats scratch built from paper, wood, string, and bamboo), dangling a rope ladder. The aircraft on the ice is a badly damaged Grumman TBF "Avenger," and just behind the engine cowling at left there is evidence of a catastrophic rubber-band failure.  The TBF is a Paul K. Guillow brand rubber-band powered balsa and tissue airplane model built in the 1980s. The airplane is named "Tinker-bell" (after our cat), and has a nice portrait of her on the cowling. Atop the nose of the TBF is an injured aviator wearing a radio headset and bandages (his nick-name is "Mitt"-- painted adjacent the cockpit; he is the pilot).  Mr. Floof is on the wing, wearing a pneumatic live vest (model B-4); he is studying charts and has a copy of Harold Catty's "The Raft Book" close at paw. The last crew member is "Sardine" who has just deployed the life raft; Sardine is wearing an aviators helmet and goggles. An oblivious harp seal is on an ice pan to the lower left. The astute observer will note that the aircraft has been missing for at least 15 or 16 months. The less astute observer will wonder how the hell anyone would know that.

Installation for the Portland Mini-Museum, titled "The Daring Rescue of our Aviators in Mortal Peril," commemorating an incident that never happened. More in Alt.

A cardboard box transformed into a vignette featuring palm trees up on a bluff, with a family of penguins and their trailer home.  The young penguin is wearing a paper hat and brandishing a toy wooden sword; next to him is a beach ball. To the right on the bluff is a Meerkat. A wooden ladder descends the bluff to a dock on the water. A rabbit is rowing a boat in the lower right. The rabbit has two paper ears because I chewed the original ears off some fifty or so years ago; I was young, and it was very satisfying. I can't remember if I swallowed the ears or not, but in any case, I regret nothing.

Diorama/installation for the Portland Mini Museum. Untitled, but "Play-date" comes to mind. Cardboard, wood, paper, toy figures, plastic trees, and paint. #diorama #MiniMuseum #art
