Gun photography of Guido Mocafico.

Guido Mocafico takes beautiful, iconic photographs of many different subjects and one of those happens to be a favorite of mine as well, Guns. Subtle highlights, black on black metal and deep brown wood tones make this series of photographs simply breathtaking.

The Artwork of Ellwood T Risk

Ellwood T Risk makes art that combines some of my favorite things. Women and guns. His work has a political and social message but in the end they are powerful images that are there for the viewer to see as they like. I have been fascinated with shooting for the past 7 years. When I travel outside of New York I always find a gun range to go shooting at. This was my initial interest in his work but it goes deeper than that. Ellwood's work uses silhouettes of women and pistol targets, layers of collaged ephemera and resin. They are beautiful and haunting at the same time but most of all, they make me think.

You can see his work here, here, and here.

David Buckingham Studio, Los Angeles.

A few months back me and the wife took a trip up to Boston to see Jeff Schaller's show opening at Kidder Smith Gallery. We are both big fans of Jeff's work and have traded some pieces in the past. The next day we stopped by the gallery to have a second look at the work and Erika (Gallery director) was nice enough to show us the back room which houses their back stock of works. They had just received a beautiful piece by David Buckingham named "6055 Sunset Boulevard" which was constructed from cut steel taken from old, rusted cars in the Mojave Desert. This piece left a huge impact on me so I searched out his site to see his other work and I was not let down.

Buckingham's work employs the use of language. He uses famous quotes from movies, famous guns from television and infamous guns from history and statistical charts but constructs them out of old road signs, rusted car parts and industrial metal scraps. He is a welder, No paint is ever used in his work.
