Published in "A Chicken In Every Yard"

This photo of the Hartman chicken Coop was published in the new book by the owners of the Urban Farm Store here in Portland. It's the main photo for the section on Chicken Coops!

Never in my wildest dreams did I think a chicken coop would be my first published work. . .

You can get the new book at your local bookstore, or oder it online at Amazon.

Timbers 1

My entry for the Portland Timbers Plan operated by Alaska Airlines. Unfortunately, I did not win the competition, but I had a god time doing the design. Go Timbers!

My First Table

Completed in 1999, this Mission Style drafting table was my first attempt at Furniture Design. I completed it for my furniture design class under Derek Chalfant who is now a Professor at Elmira College in New York. Derek is actually more of a fine artist, but was very helpful in guiding me through furniture design. You can see his work here.

Flashback . .

When I was just a wee designer in undergraduate, I came up with four pieces of furniture for my senior thesis. The work was intended to reflect a minimalist direction in domestic furniture. I used birch plywood and hardwood, along with stainless steel hardware. At the senior thesis show, I won the Emil Jaques Silver medal for design excellence.

St. Johns Bizarre!!

Tomorrow (Saturday, May 8th) I'll be at the St. Johns Bizarre selling my new line of outdoor furniture to the public. There are a limited quantity of pieces available, but I will be taking orders for future production too. I'll have 4 chairs, 2 benches, and 4 side tables for purchase. Hope you can check it out. stjohnsbizarre.com
