James Casebere Embodies similar themes to my style. His work is of miniatures, mostly, devote of human life. This particular piece was depicted based on the foreclosure epidemic that hit, this was one community that was subject to very hard times. This is one of James most detailed miniatures. jamescasebere.net

The concept of this image is capturing a moment in time. Something that takes but a blink of an eye is now immortalized forever, frozen in time at what some consider a spectacular moment.

Another idea I am playing with for the time being. Based on childhood fantasy and something of boyishness. The interaction of toys and what we consider our world, no longer to do only live in their world of fantasy but have crossed over as toys to our own.
Ty Giebel, "Where are the droids?" April 2011.

Another image from a recent event. getting up close and personal has always been something I have liked to do, allowing the subject to spill out of the frame always letting the viewer want a little more, and affecting the scale. Just as James does I like the audience to wonder if its real or not, letting the eye wonder around the image looking for details that will lead to the answer of real or not.
