This was a huge commission done during covid lockdown of "my rendition of "Garden of Earthly Delights" by Bosch. The person who commissioned it backed out. (Don't do that) And I was so bummed about it I didn't share it fully. But here it is in all its glory! The wound being way less fresh makes me appreciate this piece so much more.
This is proof of what I could do if I didn't work 3 jobs!
It is available for purchase if anyone is interested.
Graphite on sheets of Stonehenge. About 4 feet wide.

This painting is titled "Willy Loman's Last Ride" or something to that effect. Been thinking about it in relation to tr*mps exit. This image is my depiction of the "off screen" moment from the play "Death of a Salesman" where Loman, an uneeded, outdated, and wholly useless salesman drives off into the night. The scene that immediately follows is his family mourning him ..... When I made this, I was exiting art school. I was feeling a bit lost and was sympathetic towards Willy, understanding the feeling of belonging and then the immediate lack thereof. As I look this image now it takes on an entirely new meaning. I feel no sympathy and In my mind I'm placing tr*mp at this wheel. One last crazy ride he's taking us on. He can't handle the loss of power. The loss of control...
The big takeaway for me is I love how the mind assigns stories and meanings to images. How narratives form through small visual clues. I love that this piece which once felt autobiographical feels more like commentary as time passes. I enjoy growing alongside my images.

Was thinking today (while sitting in a chipotle) about what percentage of my life was dictated by brands/ full of recognizable product/ and how much more space and time we'd have without these things. I redacted all of that here in a found image of New York and used each redacted shape to make a new composition.

Come to @porter_mill_studios this Saturday the 25th to see me and @jake_ursino 's studio. It's full! I have prints and plenty of cheap (or free if I like you) originals! There's beer downstairs if you hate art!
Recent Drawings. My compositions lately speak volumes. They are tangible reflections of the chaos. Messy, unpolished impulsive-made-on-the-nearest-piece-of-paper type work. They feel to me like exorcised demons. Enjoy.
