But seriously.

I apologize heartily for everything I just posted.

Please, go vote, but for the love of all that's holy, study the candidates, the nation, and the issues first.

Messin' with Photoshop again, trying to replicate more organic painting techniques. The trick is going to be combining a bunch of strains of painting I've done in the past into the structural discipline I've recently acquired. Could fall flat entirely, but in the meantime, should be good fun.

My entry for 'A Feast for the Eyes.' My internet capabilities are fully restored, so look for a blitz of content here soon.

A Feast for the Eyes

My former professor, Barry Fitzgerald, is throwin' an art show for his wife's business. You should go in check it out. There's contributions from a lot of cool folks, like my good friend the very talented Julia Icenogle and yours truly. Opening reception is tonight from 6:00-8:00. (Sorry for the late notice. Been in moving flux for a bit). Otherwise, the display runs for a full month. So go check it out. It's good art, food, and probably karma.

On Transigence

Enough. Life is entirely too short and precious to spend any more of it putting scale texture on imaginary bugs.

I am, for once, not being sardonic, sarcastic, or purposely obtuse. 11:40 PM. A Saturday night. Somewhere in the eighteenth hour of my ever lengthening quest for the perfect carapace, I officially had enough of the bizarre hyper-realist fit I'd nursed on and off for the last several years. At what point, I wonder, did I conflate 'goodness' with 'detail'? I'm not really certain. But, it's weird, kind of unhealthy, and not nearly as satisfying as it once was.

I'm going to be making a turn towards efficiency: the most psycho-symbolically accurate, purposeful use of each form. More planning, less muddled execution. That way, maybe I can get back to enjoying the things I enjoy, leave the house on occasion, and let nature handle the exoskeletons.

Website Again

I updated my official website to include the absent multimedia topic and correct an odd rollover error. Somewhere along the way it turned into a pretty comprehensive redesign.
