New: Silhouette

The original was done with marker. I then edited it in photoshop to add a little “texture.”

Warning! Renovations taking place!

Well, I know it seems like I only ever post once a year… what can I say, motivation doesn’t flow freely in my veins. But I will be renovating the blog some bit over the next few weeks. The system I have in place right now just isn’t working.

I created a new online portfolio though and I would love for every one to go check it out. Nothing really new as far as the work goes, but its a nice little site. Let me know what you all think of it.

New Body of Work – America Insecure

I’ve just begun a new body of work which, in maintaining  my modus operandi, is centered around one of man kinds most self destructive emotions.
Insecurity.
Lets explore some of the insecurities that plague modern man. Starting with the simple definition:

insecure (adj)

1. anxious or afraid; not confident or certain
2. not adequately protected
3. unstable or shaky

Most insecure persons have managed to convince them selves, or have been convinced by others, that that they are not good enough, not smart enough, or that they can’t accomplish a task that is set before them. Just take a quick look around and you and I’m sure you can find at least on thing in your current surroundings that’s been designed to feed, or take advantage of, even your slightest insecurity.

This body of work starts with a piece titled “Moments Before Darkness,” and features the first of many appearances by Miss Dog Face Girl. One could ague that Miss Dog Face is a personification of my own insecurities. I’d agree. The work itself represents anxiety in the face of uncertainty.

Moving on.
I will be adding more work through out the year, so check back, sign up for the mailing list, all that jazz.

Big changes for this blog!

A big change in layout and some updates for ya!

If you have ever seen my blog before you might remember all of my poetry being right here, where the blogging should be done. Well I have at last gotten around to correcting this lay out mishap. If your take note of the side menu you will see a few of my best  poems. Oh, yeah, and if your wondering where the rest went, I decided not to bombard you with every random, not so great, poem that pops into my head. So I narrowed it down.

I’ll be uploading a couple of new pieces to the Digital and Design tabs soon.
