OMD is the greatest. One of my favorite '80s era synth-bands. Here is a new piece named after a lyric in one of their songs. "He sees you, we can see you, under crystal skies, in full daylight, we know you, we have known you" Okay, probably the longest title I've used for a piece ever. Swell and fine and dandy and all that. 2012, mixed media on paper, 11" x 14" or some such dimension. Does not matter.

A surveyor once set forth in a vast field to take standard measurements. Once he set up his tripod and surveying equipment he peered inside the viewing scope to calibrate the distance. He did not see distance, he did not see the field as it once was. The area had now become refracted, complete with a lone Caribou standing squarely as the center focus. "What the hell??" exclaimed the man. The land had now become Field Range and his life was never the same after. Find it out there. You too can become part of the refracting.

Cold marks the breath which seeps from our mouths and quickly turns to frost as we breathe in these shadowy days. This new piece, Duskrays, reminds me of warmer moments in the desert of my youth. Ahhh, to be there right now under this tree looking out into the calm vista. Those hazy days are long gone, only existing in my dreams and archived memories. I sometimes miss my old life. "Duskrays" | 16" x 20" | found vintage landscape w/ mixed media. 2011 via sometime in 1991.

The good folks over at Crafty Wonderland HQ have invited yours truly once again to be a part of their amazing super holiday sale on December 10th & 11th at the Oregon convention center.
This this time 'round I will be teaming up with my very talented friend, Marcus Fischer. Marc makes these amazing 1D animals entirely out of antiquated Letraset numbers and symbols. In much the same way, I use antiquated graphic tape to emphasize the found animal imagery in the majority of my work. The two of us finally got together and devised a way for our complimentary pieces to be seen and purchased together in one setting. What a better place than the CW Super Colossal Holiday Sale!
We will have a rather large area set up, complete with a customized wall for displaying the works. If you are in Portland that weekend please swing by and say "hello". As always, just follow the lines and patterns. You won't miss it.

The lightscene changes rapidly as night falls. It is dusk, that thin transient time where light softly gives way to dark. It is a time I used to cherish, a time that seemed magical and oddly comforting. Perhaps I feel this way from growing up in the desert. Dusk in the desert has a power that cannot be explained, it just feels a certain way. This piece below has nothing to do with the desert where I grew up, in does have to do with the Magic Hour, which is dusk, however. 11" x 14" Alaskan Mt. Ram caught in the Northern Flux. Taped and told. 2011.

The landscape is once again analyzed. Landcodes II is from far away, close up, and high above. It is everything and then nothing at once. As Proust once ate his madeline and was instantly transported back to his childhood, I once smelled perfume from a passing waif and was taken back many years. Good thing the landcode was there to direct me back to the future, to the present tense. 11" x 14" found landscape bursting with the solar flares of radiant time. Available upon inquiry, but inquiries are few and far between these days. Perhaps this may change. Up to the mayngs, it is.
