This has been one of those weekends where I didn’t get as much done as I thought I would. I woke up on Saturday and thought, “I have 2 days to focus on art!” But I ended up only finishing the assemblage of one piece and starting another… I have so many more ideas to get to! #assemblage #assemblageart #jeffgoodsell #jeffgoodsellart (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/jeffgoodsellart/p/CZIDYkNvRy5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here are some progress shots of the dragon sculpture I’ve been working on. I had to cut it up and print it into 33 different pieces to make moulds for casting in wax. Then we will cast it in bronze at my friend Gary Price’s foundry. It’s going to be so cool! #jeffgoodsellart #jeffgoodsell #dragon #chinesedragon #sculpture #3dprinting #nomadsculpt #phenom #resinprinting #bronzecasting (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/jeffgoodsellart/p/CYb7l8OFNoo/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here are some of the prints of the sliced up dragon! It will be about 33 pieces to make this dragon… #bronzecasting #3dprinting #chinesedragon #jeffgoodsellart #jeffgoodsell (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/jeffgoodsellart/p/CYVe28oLAMP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Well, I wrote out a long story about this piece and Instagram said it was too long so… it’s a 3D model I’m going to have cast in bronze for a good friend. I’ve done many iterations and had many stops and starts, but I’ve learned a ton! Now it’s ready to print and take to the foundry. #jeffgoodsellart #jeffgoodsell #bronzesculpture #chinesedragon #candlestick #3Dprinting #3Dsculpture (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/jeffgoodsellart/p/CYKz32Tp4dI/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m trying something new, paper wigs! These are mannequin heads that I sculpted on my iPad and printed. My son Talon turned these wood pedestals out of wood from my yard here in Woodland Hills. I handed him a quick sketch of the shape I wanted and some rough sizes and he went to it and 2 hours later he’d turned 3 pedestals on my lathe. He’s so freaking talented!

I love Chinese dragons, I’ve loved them since I started going to China in 2009. There is a temple in part of the country that I worked a lot in that has ceramic dragons above the entrance gate to the temple grounds. I loved seeing that dragon, and hiking the 9 Dragons Mountain. Those were good times. Since Covid happened, I haven’t been back to China to work in over 2 years… I do miss my good friends in China, some really good people. #jeffgoodsellart #jeffgoodsell #chinesedragon #assemblageart (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXUlRwDvILF/?utm_medium=tumblr

I had so much fun at the 100 Dollar show last night! Here are some images of my table and the pieces I had for sale! #100dollarshow #smofa #jeffgoodsell #jeffgoodsellart #assemblageart #assemblage #springville #utahartist (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXBpb1KpfN3/?utm_medium=tumblr

I never k ow what to expect when I do something new like this. I was so excited to be accepted into this show. Getting ready and creating pieces of art to sell for $100 each was so much work, I worried at moments that I wouldn’t get it all done in time. But I did! I made a commitment to do this show and I always do my best to keep my commitments, so I created, and had so much fun pushing myself to do it. I have to say though, that being at the show and getting to talk to so many people who love art! It was so fun, every bit as fun as creating the art itself! I love talking to people who love art! I love art! Thank you to everyone who came by and visited, it was so fun. #jeffgoodsellart #jeffgoodsell #100dollarshow #smofa (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXAmfxBFLO-/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love this part of creating assemblage art, this is where each piece begins to tell a story of its own. #turtleart #turtles #assemblage #ceramicart #mixedmediaart #jeffgoodsell #jeffgoodsellart (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWlhyYoP2A7/?utm_medium=tumblr

I spent some time over the weekend throwing mini candlesticks for these tiny tortoises. I love it when ceramics and assemblage art meet! #jeffgoodsell #jeffgoodsellart #tortoise #turtleart #assemblage #ceramics #clay (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWBQNhepGeY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yup, building a tree on top of this 3D print I printed (incredible model created by Zane Rogers available on myminifactory.com) I added the base and the flowers. It’s a work in progress. At the moment I’m doing some smaller pieces like this. #jeffgoodsell #jeffgoodsellart #assemblage #assemblageart #wiretree (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV0X9w3J4BZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

This small vignette illustrates the juxtaposition of life and death. The butterfly and vine against the skull and deteriorating gothic architecture. When one story ends, a new one begins, and so it goes, hope always prevails. #hopeart #skullart #assemblage #assemblageart #lifeanddeath #andsoitgoes #sculpture #metaphorinart #hope #newlife #lifeafterdeath (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU30nxsFIZ-/?utm_medium=tumblr

I love looking back at the details from this piece “Masquerade” I k ow I’m the artist, but I often feel like my work is a sort of out of body experience because I’m always amazed by how things come together and turn out, like it’s someone else’s work. #assemblageart #assemblage #sculpture #assemblagesculpture #halloweenart #masqueradeart #masquerade #jeffgoodsell #jeffgoodsellart (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU0KgPcl4Vd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here is my newest piece, called Masquerade, all primed and ready for paint! I actually really like this step because it with all of the menagerie of miss-matched colors gone, it takes on a new life, about form and texture and composition. I can see what works and what doesn’t. I’ve actually gone in on some pieces at this stage and added or destroyed and revised portions of the sculpture to make it better. I’m happy with this sculpture though so I’m leaving it as it is and moving on to painting. This piece is slated for the #autumnapparitions show at @jkrgallery the show opens tomorrow night and runs through October! I’m really glad that I have been invited to participate in this show, it was fun and I figure out how I was going to make a work of art that is somewhat Halloween themed yet is not too kitschy. I wanted it to have real meaning and symbolism and make a statement about life, I feel like I accomplished that in this piece. #jeffgoodsell #jeffgoodsellart #halloweensculpture #assemblage #assemblageart #sculpture #masquerade #masqueradeart #mixedmedia #bricolage (at Woodland Hills, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUdJ7ulPhjB/?utm_medium=tumblr
