My soul loves a good surprise. My life is a journey of my love. After college I abandoned illustration to wash dishes at a 5 star restaurant. (I was a poor salesman with a very refined palate) I made zines and hosted events to cure midwestern boredom. I fell in love. It didn't work out. I screamed in a metal band. Hiked across America. I shared paintings and photography to poetically share my transformations and journeys. I biked across the Himalayas and my heart broke for the worlds lack of vision and creativity in the margins. I now live in the middle of America where the concrete weeds are overgrown and still spreading. In the cracks there is new life and unexpected community. The greatest surprise so far was to find sustainability near desolation and creativity in emptiness. I can’t wait for a better world to crash into this one so I’m attempting to make the most of what is most proximate.

After some out of control street empanadas in the Bronx, I took the sleepy D train all the way back to Brooklyn.

Union Square transfer tunnel. 

The lull between trains is like the hum of a ghost town. The rushing roar of trafficking strangers devours all sense of focus until the next lull finds its breath.

Nothing quite like erasing yourself after a beautiful boozy birthday breakfast(brunch) in Brooklyn.
