Mr. Wyckland

TEACHERS from MEMORY project with Renee French: My 6th grade homeroom teacher Mr. Wyckland used to punish his students by making us copy ('copy' = 'by hand' in the early 80's) a page from an encyclopedia about the Byzantine Empire (hence, the Byzantine hat I put on his head - GET IT?!).

Custom Ear Portraits are FINALLY HERE!

Introducing my hand drawn, personalized ear portraits for a limited time. Most commonly referred to as the "fingerprints of the head," the human ear is a radically unique shape stuck to the heads of nearly every person alive. Send me a snapshot of yours or your loved one's [human] ear and I will lovingly draw it in graphite - an instant family heirloom for time immemorial. Much more affordable than a boring whole-head portrait. I can even fit up to six ears on one drawing, FAMILY PORTRAIT STYLE. Because the drawing is crafted on an 8" x 10" piece of archival, 100% cotton paper, it's easy to find frames literally anywhere you look. BEST PART - I'll send you a high-res digital version of your portrait so you can use it on your holiday card this year. Imagine Uncle Krüstey and Aunt Edith's confused delight when they greedily tear open the envelope!

I had to employ shady tactics to lure our annual EFA Open Studio visitors onto my floor since it's in a weird place where people rarely happen by.
