I was just driving home the other day and thinking about how slow life as an emerging artist is. I like that I have a ton of studio time to make work but when it comes to getting people interested in dialogue, its like service at the deli counter. I can’t say if it’s slow [...]

While trying to watch the hopefully NOT last episode of my favorite super sweet nerd-a-fied 007 best secret agent and yet doomed to be sent back to obscurity a la Freaks and Geeks show, Chuck, I stumbled upon the Art21 series. Yes, that’s right what I paid about 22 bucks for a few years back [...]

I am pretty sure that all artists have to deal with it. The big “R”. As painful as having the girl you’ve been hanging out with all summer tell you in August things would be better if we just stayed friends after 2 months of finding the courage to wade out into the ocean instead [...]

I love art that is brave. Especially in photography where there is a huge chance for the end product to relate or be aesthetic siblings to artists working with similar subject matter, techniques or equipment.
