THE PLATTERS GAME



We tried to start The Platters Game in 2010 by giving away a free painting on facebook.  It said 'FREE' on it, but nobody claimed it.  Maybe nobody understood it. 

We tried again a year later with a $1 painting... sold immediately.  Game on.

We made #2.




















Named after the vinyl record used to make the circle, the Platters Game is a simple experiment -- a linear experiment -- a life long experiment.  Platter 1 sold for $1.  Platter 2 sold for $2.  Platter 3 sold for $3.  How high does it go?   I don't know. 

The Platters game is an analysis of the state of art, from investors to investing,  market to marketing,  aesthetic to desirability.  We broke the entire art world down, and in putting it back together, the Platters Game arose first.  It is the phoenix.  It is the most simple.

It theoretically should be a self propagating thing.  People with the earlier pieces, and a vested interest in watching their properties rise in value, market the game to their friends.    Every time a property is sold, the previous properties raise $1.  It's an experiment, so there is no real goal save to participate and watch what happens.  Love.

RETRO FIND // lovers






I sculpted 18 works in 1998 while my wife was pregnant and have not sculpted again. Two were bronzed and the rest of the clays were destroyed in a move.  A few were photographed.

Work for Sahara Devi's New Mayan Calendar, 1997.

RETRO FIND // first bronze

In 1997 I got a block of clay for Christmas, and made my first sculpture that night.   It was later bronzed during an apprenticeship with master sculptor Ed Breathitt.  In a planned series of 33, only one copy was ever made and this is the first photo of it.

MONOPOLY

Experimental Series.  I had intended to do the whole Board.  I like to play with the fans and collectors on social media, and I thought it was a fantastic way to start collecting Art inexpensively...  but the interest just wasn't there.  Inwas surprised actually.  These sketchy, quick hit 24x32"works were priced at the value on the actual game piece.

L O G O M O R P H

36x36" on panel   //  A hip dip into our designer hay-days, filled with color, corporate malaise and the desire to deface anything deemed proper and orderly by those who deemed.  They only pretended to know what they were doing, and dreaded that were more powerful than them.  Full Gallery »
