I love reflecting on past works but my favorite paintings are the ones I haven’t done yet. Prolific artists will make thousands & thousands of works before they are dead. What will we do with them all? 🤔😨

I'm very happy to announce my first playing card deck! Its been years since the Tarot cards and while I really want to make another one of those, I figured it would be fun to try my hand at the classic playing card format. They're available for purchase now for a limited time so get them fast. They're also only available online for now. Thanks to everyone whose expressed interest in these and to anyone that buys them.

I’ve been expanding my clay repertoire with a new challenge; making small scale devotional pieces that are indistinguishable from widely distributed cheap statuettes. I’m definitely not there yet but this was a fun challenge. Maybe more soon? Idk

Stickers from my recent travel. I know these are meant for horizontal orientation but they look a lot better used vertically.

This piece represents my time with my band Boxers Jaw & all of the connections I made through that project. Its represents the good times, the late nights, the people, & then the descent into the pandemic. Despite us moving onto new projects, the work & the memories are still powerful & with me all the time.

Some assemblage work from this week. These pieces are meditations on growing up in a working class Catholic community. They are not anti religion or meant to be hurtful but are instead exploring the way our backgrounds effect how we behave & treat ourselves.

Welcome to my page.
I don’t know what this is going to look like on people’s feeds but its a new feature I guess so why not? Here’s a some introductory words about me if you’re not familiar.
I am an artist above anything else. Maybe I write, make music, perform, or sculpt but the most convenient way to say all of that quickly is with the former. One of the main things that drive me is a fear I’ve had for a long time and that is not knowing. A fear of not knowing. Or more accurately, fear of inadequacy or being second best. I don’t act competitive with the things that I do or towards the people in my life but part of this narrative I have created for myself contains an internal monologue that tells me everyday that I don’t know enough and I have to keep going. I think one of the strongest qualities an artist can have is an unending expertise in anything besides art. In short, an artist has to know things about stuff. Its as simple as that. This drives me to learn new mediums, techniques, stories, histories, and ideas. I’m not saying I am super smart or better than and I don’t ever want to be. I just need to know.
Today and for the last few I have been learning animation. I have a humble background in stop motion animation and that experience is helping me a lot. I was recently given a Huion drawing tablet and I’m using a program called Autodesk. It has this flip book feature that allows me to mock up quick animations. My focus right now is movement and space. I don’t know how to describe it yet but I’m trying to make the shorts look fluid and continuous. Maybe kind of how music moves.
I’ve also been recording time lapse videos of the digital drawings I’ve been making. They are anywhere from 25-60 minutes raw but boil down to about 4-6 minutes finished. I dub a stream of consciousness-like voice over and pit it with music. It gives me the same feeling podcasting did just this stuff is a little more produced. Not necessarily in quality but more in composition. These have allowed me to combine three of my favorite formats into one piece. They are a drawing, a video, and speaking. Those put into one make something that I would probably watch if I found it online. Regardless, its been a productive project and its been fun.
Besides all that, I am working, I am writing, and I am breathing. What a life.
