"It'll Kill You In Time"

Mixed media illustration, I was still working in education back then, a very frustrating position where I feel like I let down my students and the admins did everything to make a bad situation worse. Listened to Elliott Smith's Coming Up Roses to cool down as i sketched, the title is a line from that, 2022.

"Do You Choose To Glitch Through The Rest Of Your Journey?

>YES

>NO"

Mixed media collage, 2022.

"Be In Her Hellfire"

Mixed media collage, 2022.

"Sub Space"

Mixed media collage, 2022.

"my troubles in communication"

Mixed media collage, 2024. My experience with how it is talking with others. The ear, eye, and mouth are photos of my own parts. They are rendered in the struggle to work together in the communication process.

The brain is a hand grenade,

Words shoot-to-kill first,

I stutter or be silent-

Fire.

"Message Intercepted (or Us)"

Mixed media collage, 2022. The mummy cat gives a piece of their ka to this skull that's wracked by chaos, being nothing more than a bubble that can't reach, the pages between the two torn.

I've never vented about art struggles before last night, and I actually got encouragement.

This blog's doin' me pretty great, thanks y'all :)

"We Are Not Alone"

Mixed media collage, 2022. At the time of making this piece, I was reading a book called Dark Eros, an analysis of Marquis de Sade. I think this mindset bled through in the collage, the prospect of masochism in choosing the theatrics of innocence, versus the self exploration of the libertine.

"Hypnagogic Gender Studies Moo-cow"

Mixed media, 2023. Inspired by the hypnagogic work of Salvador Dali, I decided to try my hand at sketching hypnagogic visions. These creatures came to me and made any point they had somewhat clear, what with their striking features. Dali used keys he'd drop on a loud saucer once he fell a sleep, but I just relied on my dog Günther to wake me.
