These photos are not real things. I’ve been playing in the dark arts of ai text prompt art generation. You can direct it and it’s like an art feed built specifically for you. These were generated and I tweaked them in procreate so they weren’t just melted looking mutants. I used Midjourney, (Dall-e kicked me out really quick for some reason) and it is amazing and terrible, and important. It has definite limitations now, but I am sure in 5 years anyone will be able to make successful illustrative work with something like it. All our skill, focus and hard work will be worthless, at least somewhat devalued at any rate. It will all be about stories, ideas, energy, very personal work - skill may be moot. Whatever the case, it feels like the world has changed.
The Store is live again! Thank you for your patience while I have been on hiatus. I have had some good progress on my children’s book and gotten my inventory updated. Summer has started off productive, happy Pride, happy Juneteenth, and dad’s day! Also, If you like drawing in Procreate I finally listed my brushes! Have fun!
We have placed our pieces! the second photo is the hint. It’s at Wilson park until midnight. Good luck!
It’s been a bit since I have posted, But I am excited to announce that B-unlimited (I am a creative director there) Is doing our own art of pong show on international table-tennis day. Wednesday April 6th, 6-9.
Check it out! If you are local I will have prints there as well as some of the other amazing artists I get to work with here!
Lately I have been so busy with work and family, I haven’t taken time out to just play around. My friend encouraged me to get out my drawing pad and enter this contest for ‘s 40 year anniversary, - maybe I can plan to see some live music sometime soon🤞- so I put on the albums and just drew tonight! Happy New Year!
Here is the full piece from the muppet zine! I do plan on making riso prints available soon. Stay tuned if you are interested!

This is a store for my Art & Prints. It’s a labor of love, which steals my sleep but saves my soul.
