Life, the universe and everything
Pondering the indeterminacy of life and art I muse on whether I’m conduit or origin.
Saturate this, mofo! Color as Rebellion
Color has been the object of extreme prejudice in Western culture. For the most part, this prejudice has remained unchecked and passed unnoticed. And yet it is a prejudice that is so all-embracing and generalized that, at one time or another, it has enrolled just about every other prejudice in its service.
An angel has no memory
I find myself suddenly drawn to the angel as a presentation of male beauty that is sensual and celebratory, rather than violent or coercive. Yes, there’s a bow and arrow. But it’s the revelation of hidden desires he’s aiming at his unseen target, not a threat of subjugation.

Move Better, Draw Better
Expanding my routines freed up my thinking about health and physique, freed up my body and, believe it or not, freed up my art, too.
