So I've really been into reading lately. The last two books I read: Who knew I would be into dectective novels?! They are fantastic. Especially "The Long Goodbye." There is an excellent twist at the end which totally caught me by surprise.

I have painted a body lying in repose, attempting to explore the abstraction of the organism within its figurative boundaries. I am interested in the expressiveness of lines as they relate to various emotional responses. What first catches the eye is the nakedness of the body, a state usually reserved for what can be considered a private, inside space. As related to the private/public opposition,

This is My American flag, created using words and letters clipped from popular newspapers. My interest consists in exploring the boundaries of sense, nonsense, and simulations of sense, as they relate to the American flag, a symbol heavy-laden with ideas, ideologies, concepts, conceptions, and images.

In a world where the political, financial, and artistic climates are explosively volatile, this visual journal seeks to explore man’s relationship to the divine.

This painting came about this past summer, in the midst of a heat wave and news of yet another wild fire consuming the Californian forests. The volatility of our global environment made me focus on animals and their states of consciousness, reflecting on their knowledge –as it were- of the environment’s decline and the repercussions thereof. One can only imagine their connection to a reality (and

"If a painter wishes to see beauty that enraptures him, he has the power to create it. If he wishes to see things that are grotesque... or are laughable, or are truly pathetic, he is the lord and master of them... Whatever lies in the universe--in essence or imagination--he has first in his mind and then in his hand."

An empty container that cannot be filled is nothing at all. Smash you! be nothing!Now hope is no longer hollow, but shards are a lasting reproach of violence.Ow! no longer am I disappointed; whatever is broken has a bright outline.I love you immortal contents of the empty container that could not be filled I smashed.In the raw light of my no longer disappointment I am

this morning i gave a presentation on the Black Mountain College. While i was waiting for class to begin i looked at a book of Jenny Saville... so much art, paintings, artists. I think I've looked at enough paintings for now. I must confess that the more I look the more jealous and overwhelmed I feel. need to paint. to finish school and to paint in open spaces. with more brushes (one for

I long for a community of my own. for collaborators. for a chance to make some art that really means something to me. for a feeling of going forward. of stepping in and stepping down. clinching with my fist. for someone to give me an idea a direction a commission. a mission. sitting idle drives me nuts. art supplies laying about the hard wood floor taunting me. so close so close don’t

[qoutes from this book i'm reading: Testament by Nino Ricci. The book is historical fiction- a reaccount of the four gospels. ]It seemed that what Yeshua taught us was that we could not divide thingsinto clean and unclean and what could be kept and what cast out, but must takeall as one, and see how it made us. But there was in Yeshua that quality that made one feel there was something, still,

There is something calling, if you still retain a shed of decency you can hear it- it's a dim terrible voice that's calling-- a bass howl, likea cow in a slaughterhouse, but far, far off...It is calling us to action, calling usto stand against the calamity, to spare nothing, not our blood, not our happiness, not our livesin the struggle to stop the dreadful daythat's burning nowin oil flames on

i feel like god is telling us that we are meant to hold such authority within the realm of art. 'we,' referring to this mass of humans who possess a godly worldview. god. and his trinity, saving lives by the tenthousanth of a second. 'we,' referring to our (my) generation. this upcoming and growing force of artists who are not being drilled into the ground by the monotony of a taxing life.
