Just a headsup, to all my close friends I sent you a personal not regarding this.
So the summer has begun and i have been trying to find ways to occupy myself. And what better way to waste my days then reading, writing and drawing. While I'll still be working on my usual projects i have set for myself a new one. Inspired by the sort of free-association writing of the surrealists and some of the ideas and sensations brought forth by writers like William s. Burroughs, Carlton Mellick III, and Kurt Vonnegut, i have begun a fictional tale of the fantastic. A series of posted chapters from a set of memoirs. A broken and confused man sits down to write his memoirs and is confronted by the events that may or may not have happened to him. Taking on the style of a sort of Surrealistic Fantasy, Memoirs of a Simple Man Who Never Existed is a trip into the unknown territories of a man's mind. I will put up a chapter or two every once in a while as i am pulled into this world and drawn to write about it. There is no set plot, character's or setting, but merely the chance for my imagination to play unhindered. If Freud's ideas of free association hold any value, something deeper and more real will come to the surface. Hope you enjoy!
Each chapter of the story can be found in the writing section of my website, just click the brown WRITING button near the top.

New Era of Art
So it's been almost half a year since school has ended. I finally have my BFA and have yet again moved. Now I am here in New Orleans, working hard and trying to move on with my life. I have decided to update this site with some new works, things I have decided ok to show online. Mind you much of my work has been omitted as I keep it for my professional portfolio, and other images shown have been made for others and are their property for their use. Enjoy the more recent work. And take care everyone.

Where painting goes from here...
Its a new year at a new school, and maybe the new environment and changes in views on art has finally taken its hold on me. I have been looking more indepth into the surrealists their writings and where their ideas went after the major group of bretonian surrealists disbanded. This has brought me into more modern styles of art including elements of automatism. Now it has begun to affect my painting as well. I knew someday that with how i was progressing in painting it would eventually become about the paint itself, the colors the texture of the paint moreso than the objects i am painting. And so because of that the objects have become more ob

I just read the first 11 chapters. I'm enjoying the series immensely. Very awesome, keep it up I'm surprised nobody else has commented here yet.
(If you're reading this and you haven't read Memoirs of a Simple Man Who Never Existed yet, then GO DO IT!)
I'm also interested in seeing the illustrations that I'm sure are to follow. I'm mainly curious to see how the images in my head conjured up by the story match up to your illustrations. This is very exciting indeed.
