Introductory Paragraph(s)

To me, what's great about art isn't the genius of a brushstroke, the celestial way a vertical line interacts with the horizontal axis, or the manifold use of ironic imagery to protest the war in Iraq. That's what art history majors and paint-splattered creatives may say, but to me, real art, the kind that real people actually care about is about color, laughter, pop culture, texture, decoration, conversation, manipulation and sensation (any other 'ations?)

That said, the work you'll see here doesn't pretend to be Warhol. It doesn't compare to Degas or Picasso. What it is, is real and interesting and damn cool on your living room wall.

So, please consider this blog your personal art gallery. Most of my work from the past 4 years is hanging on these metaphysical walls, so feel free to roam the computerized isles (in your underwear or in your evening clothes) and take a look around. See something you like? High quality prints on canvas or paper will be available for purchasing soon (for most of the pieces). Originals may be sold upon request, and after some serious haggling.

Thanks, and enjoy!
