Chris Bivins has been making art of one kind or another since his brother taught him to draw with ‘smelly magic markers’ in their basement in Alaska. The artist believes his short attention span lends itself to mixed media work that combines the old with the new and his figurative sculptures are a brooding bunch that appeal to my darker side.

Wow! I love the one called “Want”!
I can relate to the short attention span, and also your comment about found objects on the workbench. Maybe a little too much on that last one.
^_^
Going to check out Mr.Bivens’ blog.
And I see you here tonight for that promised treat!

Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. Great soul.
There has not been a found object that refuses to be found
And its reincarnation often astounds!
These are just wonderful. I keep thinking how amazing they would be animated. I’ll have to check out his site. I’m curious as to their size.
Thanks for posting Susan!!
Bivens is fabulous. I have sooooo many remainders/experimental pieces and now may have found a way to use them.
Wow! I am so inspired by these works. Usually my enjoyment of your finds is of a more passive mode but these make me want to run to my studio table immediately and see what thought or emotion I can capture in sculpture. Absolutely wonderful. I will keep an eye out for Mr. Bivins from now on. Thanks Susan!
OUTSTANDING WORK!!!!!
“Go Ask Alice” is my favorite! The body language says it all. Love his work!
