7/18/14 In the best of times and the worst of times – it’s about aggression. So much aggression welled up. My day job is all about showing nothing but pleasantness, no matter how rough life is. It’s a fucking miracle any of us ever get through all this shit. My art is all about that… Continue reading Artist Journal #20

Artist Journal #19
6/20/14 Connections. Pieces connect together to create a new non-preconceived element of visual experience. The passion of creation is unparalleled by any other experience in my life. It is my drug, my escape. On this alcohol, I can let myself go and create incredibly manic and powerful marks. The intensity of working, of painting, of… Continue reading Artist Journal #19

Soaked Strings
Drawings from the series “Soaked Strings” Soaked strings, streams of ink thick and thin. Clumps and pools, and vast deserts of empty space.

They… Continue reading Artist Journal #18
