A singularity should be impossible.

I’m enjoying digging into process work for my latest personal piece, Singularity.

It’s a strange feeling to watch someone whose life was entangled with yours remove you from the digital record of their existence.

I tried to imagine going through every online account to grapple with the images of my marriage and then remove them. I struggled to understand the urgency.

Gradually, as little bits of our relationship revealed themselves to me over the next couple of years by popping up when I least expected them, I realized that a cleaner break isn’t exactly the worst thing.

The suddenness of her departure felt supernatural though. Like everything I had learned about the world vanished in an instant and I was never going to escape her event horizon, even if I couldn’t ever see her again.

I’ll be filling her silhouette with Vantablack in an attempt to physicalize what I felt in those early days. I hope that its otherworldly darkness communicates what tremendous loss I felt and still feel today.

Recapturing 2024

It’s been a tough couple of years. In between starting my site and now, my dad’s died, I’ve gotten divorced, and, probably, climate change has started to initiate a series of cascading climate emergencies.

At some point in the middle there, I started deconstructing my own process and I’m trying to unlearn some of the structure I picked up at school.

In all of my pilgrim’s series pieces, I’m struggling with pain and loss and trying to find something beautiful on the other side. Sometimes I find my way through and there’s something delicate and beautiful to accompany whatever dark story I began with.

We don’t know what’s waiting for us on the other side. I hope it’s another adventure.

Lenny's, BUT IN SPACE

I’ve been spending some downtime working on sketches for a fun T-Shirt idea for Lenny’s in Clearwater.

I love a good diner, and Lenny’s is, hands-down, my favorite restaurant. When the owner let me know he was looking for a new tee design, I jumped at the opportunity.

Work-in-progress, and what it really means to me.

Work-in-progress, and what it really means to me.

I don’t really sketch as much as I wish I could. Whether it’s life knocking on your door in the form of a day job, or anxiety about your loved ones dying en masse from a global pandemic, it’s not always the right time to just sit down and try to experiment.

But I did. This razorgirl piece beat me in the end, but I tried something new.

Shop is up!

The shop is up and running. I’ll be adding content here, instagram, facebook, basically anywhere you could see my work and then, if you’re interested, buy my work.

There was a time that I thought it was some sort of artistic sin to sell work, but fuck that shit, I need to eat.

Everyone deserves to be seen.

I’ve embarked on a project to paint everyone around me as the crisis draws into relief everything I love and need. We need each other. Not in the way intended by platitudes about coming together, or leaning on me. None of our lives are possible without the people in them. That means EVERYONE.
