I know my gallery is kaput, and I haven't updated this blog in a few years, but I am still working. If anyone is reading this, please check out my newest project: Articulate Matter. It is a sculptural web comic that is updated every Monday, ... http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2008/09/not-forgotten/ .flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; } .flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Justjk's Twisted Secular Advent Calendar, Day 8., originally uploaded by justjk. I've decided to challenge myself this December. Beginning on the 1st, I've been making one small sculpture per day ... http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2005/12/advent-calendar-of-sorts/ So the website has been neglected of late and is still recovering from being hacked, but things are busy. I am now living in San Francisco and working on a variety of projects ranging from illustrations to new puppet shows. There will be more news when it happens. Until then, the ... http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2005/11/this-field-is-still-fallow/ .flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; } .flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } underconstruction, originally uploaded by justjk.

Until then you can go to my flickr album to see a few examples of my work. http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2005/08/under-construction/ I've now worked with Altraform (second item) on a couple projects, so I can give an opinion on it. I've also gotten a couple questions about it, so here are your answers Gina and Rich (aka *). Pros: - The white color makes it easy to clean off clay. - It heats ... http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2005/03/altraform/ For those of you who arrived here via SOS, greetings! For those of you who know about me already... Hey look! I'm self-promoting! I'll be opening up my studio to anyone who is interested in taking a peek on April 30th and May 1st. There's more information on the whole program here. I'll ... http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2005/03/sos/ So in yet another example of my advertising after the fact, I was in a craft fair today.

I didn't ... http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2004/12/craft-show-madness/ Sad news. Douglas and Sturgess, Inc. just told me that Fabricform is no longer made. *sigh* My favorite mask material... Oh well, time to play "move with the times" again. The (very nice) lady who helped me over the phone recommended Altraform as the material most similar to Fabricform. We'll see ... http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2004/09/oh-the-horror/ Added more pictures. Mostly of the masks for the North Shore Music Theatre. I'll be adding more of the Masquerade masks as soon as I actually take more pictures. http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2004/09/more-images-for-the-gallery/ So in the time since my last "real" entry I've been rather preoccupied. I finished the masks for the production of Masquerade, made some small body parts for a local jewelry artist, reorganized my studio, applied and was rejected for a grant, got married in Venice (Italy, not the Las ... http://www.kochansky.org/progress/2004/08/busy-times/
