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.

flu bug bitten

it started with troys cat (after i got to ride the tractor) a little scratchy throat…

then turned to swelling broncs, and a cough to replace all laughter…

add in a long day of showing art, playing bass, dealing with memory loss and 3 places to be at the same time… mix a little stress, mexican food, and im in for a whole night of tossing and puking and cold shakyness that you know you all love. going to try to rest… and try and make it down to the gallery to have it open today. and maybe try to get better… winky juice? oh yeah!
