I make a lot of tiny Capsule Castaways wood toys and have a few standard types that I make in perpetuity. But to break up the monotony of whittling the same little guys over and over again, I also make special dudes that require a little more thought and creative energy on my part. The following tiny toys are some of the special ones that I made recently. I hope you enjoy looking at them! Let me know if you have a favorite :->

  This is another in my series of tiny dioramas that I've been making for Giant Robot Gallery shows. I made a last minute change to the piece that added so much time to the process but I think it paid off? (I had to change the cat's car color so it popped more.) This group art exhibition opens today (6/20/26) and if you get a chance to see my piece in person I hope it agrees with you :->

Here's another piece I finished while sick. I felt miserable when I was making it, but I think this little cutie turned out alright? The Kaiju Show group exhibition opens on Saturday, May 30th at Giant Robot Gallery so get your butts over there or check it out online!

Just as I was about to finish this small series of tiny dioramas, I got super sick. It's the first time I've been sick since before the pandemic!! What should've taken hours to complete, took days instead. But they're done now! These will be on view at Giant Robot Gallery alongside lots of other art starting on Saturday, May 9th.

Have you had a chance to stop by Other Books and check out the Free Art Supply Cart yet? The cart was set up by LA Zine Fest in 2023 and I have been helping organize and restock it since some time in 2024. But LA Zine Fest is no longer managing the cart so now it's down to me and Other Books to keep it going. To mark this change, I've constructed a sturdy new wood sign. Come grab some free art supplies sometime! Or let me know if you have stuff to donate :->

Here's my piece for the 2nd drop of Animals exhibition at Giant Robot Store Gallery. I'm very happy with how this piece turned out since it looks pretty much exactly how it appeared in my head before I started whittling away. It feels really good to be able to pull something from nothing like that, you know? If you're in Los Angeles, go check out the new Giant Robot gallery space and see this piece in person! The 2nd drop goes live on Saturday, April 25th.

Here are some pictures of the piece I made for the grand opening exhibition at Giant Robot's new gallery space next door to the store. The reception is on Saturday, April 11th from 12pm-6pm, if I'm not mistaken. And if you're lucky/unlucky, you might bump into me there in person!
