Things in the Sky02024 The sky has always been the site for our greatest and oldest projections. 

Sometimes it’s a celestial thing,
falling from the Heavens.

Sometimes it’s a technological marvel, a baffling angel of power and control working to make the sky a grid.

Sometimes it’s what we remember from the movies.

Sometimes it’s the real thing.

Your cultural context determines what you see.

Field Drawings 01: LA Roses02023 Made one dot of darkness at a time, these landscapes are lovingly rendered over long scales of time.  A gesture towards articulating the impossible states of the alchemic Earth and the Heavens, which fractionally intersect to make the lens we call The World.

This is how I do physics.

Equal parts math, channeling, and photography, this is the first step towards encoding, storing, and transmitting one story the folklore of math.

The drawings are the explaining.

TULSA ROSES: DKL TRIBUTE02022 The one and only (?) piece of fan art I’ve ever done.

When I first moved to West Hollywood in 02020 things were chaotic. They still are.

One of my great joys was to discover David Lynch’s iconic, 3 building homestudio compound while wandering the Hollywood Hills. Walking up there became a regular micro-pilgrimage that did a lot for me as a new soul in the American Land of the Dead™.

Lynch and his devoted team of collaborators have made an incalculable impression upon me as a person and artist.

I finished this drawing in dedication to Lynch and his vision around 02022 and sent it in the mail. I have no idea if it ever got into his hands, but the gesture still lives in the dream.

Twin Galaxy02021 Nothing is not nature.

No matter how far down we go or how far out, we’ll still find something human.

We can’t escape ourselves.

I’ll see you on the Other Side.
