No Kings -Tzipy

“Tzipy – Female Wild Thing” — A powerful portrait of a woman wearing the iconic wolf onesie and crown inspired by Max from Where the Wild Things Are. She represents the first generation of children shaped by stories — tales read from books and oral traditions passed down by immigrant parents from another country.
As children, imagination becomes a bridge between cultures, identity, memory, and belonging. Now as an adult, she and we embody both the wild freedom of childhood fantasy and the layered inheritance of her family’s history.

Inspired by the story book “Where the Wild Things Are” . Wild things (the monsters) are not named in the original 1963 picture book, author Maurice Sendak gave them names when adapting the story into an opera in 1983.

Creation from the edge where thought becomes sculpture…..an abstraction, bending steel as if it were a memory of paper. Each fold carries the echo of traditional Japanese origami, transformed by metal smithing into something both tender and unbreakable. He dedicates this Blue Heron sculpture as a symbol of resilience,and the quiet wisdom found in nature.
May it inspire all who pass to pause, reflect, and protect wild spaces we share.

What an amazing week getting to meet amazing people, and hanging out with friends.

was an amazing turn out and Experience.

Such a humbling moment to be part of this project—bringing life to color.

The HUEMAN project seeks to help unhoused individuals find refuge and reconnect with society, choosing seven “huemans” to tell their stories in Midtown Houston.

This project had a profound impact on me, connecting me to a full-circle moment in my life.
As I worked on it—visually documenting the streets and listening to unhoused huemans share their experiences each day over the course of a week—I felt deeply moved.

It brought me back to my own past: to the choices my father made that led to addiction and homelessness, and to the choices I would later make to pursue art.

Each color in this project represents a universal moment—one shared by every person whose circumstances brought them here. Moments that could belong to any of us, given the right (or wrong) set of conditions and choices.

In the end, I thank my father for showing me how to draw a swan when I was six years old. He didn’t know then that in that small moment, he ignited my creativity. I have carried that spark forward, fueled by a mix of pain and passion felt by my fathers choices through drugs, abandonment, abuse, hate, love, and in the end brought him to his death.

I also thank my mother, who did everything in her power to push my sister and me forward—into the people we are today. Instilling the determination not to surrender to my surroundings.

Thank you, Dad and Mom.
