. I sold this to someone in Salt Lake who seemed very enthused to own it. I think I will try this one agian with better wood and hopefully it will stand up straight this time.

Wierd Bookshelf
Yet again another example of my poor photography skills. This was a bookshelf I made a long time ago that I could never get to stand straight up

Modern Coffee Table
I wish I had taken better pictures of this table, the ones I do have are just the ones I took trying out my camera. I sold this table a while ago so I dont have any way of taking better pictures of it now.
It was a challange to design this and construct it so that no hardware was showing. Out of all the table this is the one I enjoyed making the most, its not my favorite table but its the funnest to make. Any comments on this style table would be appreciated.

The Good News and the Bad News
The good news is that I have sold quite a bit of my stuff. It may not sell for much but when it does it is a real confidence booster. I only try and sell the wood projects: bookshelves, tables, gun racks, bed frames etc.. etc...
The wood projects I can custom make and sell the way that people want it to be made and look; however, the drawings are a little different, I don't sell those custom. Whatever I feel like drawing at the time is what I do, I could take custom orders but I don't think I'm that good at it.
The bad news is that I cant take a good picture of my stuff. If you have not noticed by now the pictures are not the best quality. They are with a simple point and shoot camera and when I get someone to tackle the project of taking good pictures for me the quality of the pictures should sky rocket, because right now they are not very exceptional.
So that's the good and the bad news.

The Little Red Bookshelf that Resides in my Bedroom
This sucker took all of 20 minutes to plan out and make.
A Series of Fish
I drew these pictures with permanent marker and put them in my own reclaimed wood frames.

Ah California, the Sunshine State, Beautiful...
I think this was one of the first things I did with permanent marker.

Rodeo Time
This one is Titled 4.6 second ride. If I hadnt have put the title in ink on the picture I would have changed it for sure.
Nintendo Coffee Table
Unfortunately these are the only remaining photos I have of this table. It is a coffee table size Nintendo controller. Although it didnt actually work as a controler it still made a good conversation piece. The asking price for this was $150.
Some time ago I posted an ad on KSL asking people for their fence wood when they take theirs down and put up a new fence. This is what I got. I would say that 95% of the wood used on this table is reclaimed wood and the other 5% you cant even see. I still have a little bit of wood left over so I may be able to construct one more table like this. 
This Rustic Table was $350

There are several different genres of "art" that I like to do. Although I don't really consider them all art they are all referred to as being art. So hence the name Morty's Art Work.
The first genre that I like is drawing, and more particularly ink drawings. I like to part from the usual course that many people take in using ink drawings for doing people and landscapes, and I move into other themes such as the Rodeo and Animals. Although, at times I like to do Abstract drawings as well, these are not so prevalent in my drawings.
The second genre that I like to do is painting. I have only done water and oil paintings and these are few and far between. I have very few paintings that I have done, my mother has taken most of them. If I ever find one I will be sure to snap a picture and post them.
Third in my genre list deviates from the two above and sets off on a new path. That is of woodworking. Ever since I can remember, way back when, I would sneak out into my fathers garage and rummage through his tools. This sort of activity was for some reason frowned upon by my father, probably because he could never find his tools or hardware when he most needed them. I have always had an interest in woodworking. I am not the best woodworker around but I enjoy it more than anything, which is why I do it; and if I can make a few bucks at the same time its even better.
Needless to say I love working with my hands. In almost all of my jobs that I have had growing up I have always used my hands. This, I believe, is one of the factors that has led me to pursue art as much as I have.
Please enjoy.
