Three days until the big day, I realized I need more help. I don’t have much experience building with cardboard, let alone building a 10x10ft cardboard house. Today I fully assembled the huge red roof and juggled it up a ladder while slipping and falling a few times. If I had a few other hands it would be so much easier. I didn’t think it would be this difficult. After all, it’s just cardboard, right?

I’ve been busy with commissions, getting ready for a new baby on the way, and lots of house cleaning, holiday shopping, and more… I had to figure out who would be available to give me a hand asap! I contacted a friend (Rap Healey) with a lot of cardboard construction experience, and I’m looking forward to his arrival tomorrow morning!! I know how I want this thing to look, I only need a little more help to bring this vision to life.

I have been working day and night to get this thing ready for FORT – it’s going to be so much fun!

The idea is to construct a childhood FORT. 10 artists were chosen to create their version of a childhood fort in a 25,000 square foot space, surrounding the ultimate pillow playground. With interactive art, food trucks, live music and giveaways. My Fort is going to be a crooked little house like the houses in my paintings.
