Ego – Jun 2015 – Acrylic on Canvas I used to think that it was cool or interesting to be self-destructive because most of the creative people I’ve ever respected were their own worst enemy… this painting is about realising that my hangups, self-consiousness, doubt and insecurity are drastically impacting my ability to connect to […]

Out(Side) of Time
Out(Side) of Time – Nov 2014 I often feel caught up in the momentum of “time” which feels like a constant pressure to move forward towards an end of something. The clock is one of my most detested human constructions, because it’s always reminding me that I exist in a space where things need to […]
Fight Week Brain Gymnastics
There’s an idea in Buddhism that basically says, “expectation is the filter through which reality becomes suffering.” An easy way to elucidate that point is to just think about your phone for a minute; I think that technology is actually the material embodiment of expectation itself – and when it fails us, we lose our […]
You’re Full of Shit, and So am I
Have you ever found yourself leaning up against the tiles of your shower wall (or perhaps curled up on the bacteria-riddled floor) wondering, “who the fuck am I?” If you have, then perhaps you’ll find this interesting; if you haven’t, then you probably need to smoke more weed (and then you might find this interesting)… In […]
Sobriety Birthday No. 1
I woke up that morning, exactly one year ago today, under a suffocating cloud of dread. I didn’t remember getting into bed, and I didn’t remember anything I said, but the cold empty space at my side reminded me that things had gone horribly wrong. Again. I ran the previous day through my head again; […]
Mediocrity vs. Paralysis
Synchronicity can be a powerful, powerful thing. I don’t know what causes two apparently disconnected things to smash into each other within our psyche creating an entire new world of meaning – but I know that it happens, and I know it seems to happen to me right when I need it the most. The first […]
Well That Didn’t Work….
They withdrew my visa application today. If you know me personally, then you know I’ve been in a 3 year long, horribly disgruntled relationship with a mining company to whom I sold my dreams for the sake of getting residency in this county. I had tried to leave at least 4 times in the past […]
The Only Way Out is In – Nov 2015
Sometimes the best way to understand the world is to spend some time inside, understanding yourself. There are a few people in the world that are interested in dissecting their minds with me, and this painting is a tribute to them; a tribute to unraveling entire universes from inside the quiet of our own little […]
An Education II – 2015
An Education II – Sept. 2015 Our “self” is a tangled web of experience, perceptions (inputs, outputs), memories, values (learned or taught) and it is a near impossibility to find the baseline underneath it all. What are you? Where did you get that idea? Why did that hurt you so much, and why doesn’t this? […]
Immortality, 2015
Immortality (Acrylic on Canvas, Oct 2015) The moment when we realize we are a temporary appearance in time (chaos/gravity/entropy) and are subsequently faced with the choice to either fear death, or accept freedom. The reflection of the face in the void is to show “death” at the end of time. What do we choose to […]
