About Me

The Art For Humans WebsiteA brief bio: I've been exhibiting for over 20 years now, in galleries, museums, foundations, universities and alternative art spaces. I usually characterize what I do as multi-media/multi-disciplinary art, or 4D art, utilizing traditional and new media. I've done innovative work in digital print and animation, photography, installation, video(projected, monitor- and web-based) and more. The foundation of everything I do as an artist is painting and drawing. I also have done much work as Lead Artist of collectives. I'm very much dedicated to community art. I've also worked in lots of art-related, arts advocate roles: writing, hosting radio shows, teaching, etc.

Music:



To believe with flesh,
with brain and heart,
that one thing was complete,
beautiful, accessible.
--Sorley MacLean, translated from “Coilltean Ratharsair”

Movies:



"What is that horrible smell in the office, Tex? It's making me sick."
--Hunter Thompson, “Ugly, Tasteless, Terrifying and Wild... Count Me In!”

Television:



He looked up. Blood, he said. This country is give much blood. This Mexico. This is a thirsty country. The blood of a thousand Christs. Nothing.

...

I pray to God for this country. I say that to you. I pray. I dont go in the church. What I need to talk to them dolls there? I talk here.

He pointed to his chest. When he turned to the Americans his voice softened again. You are fine caballeros, he said. You kill the barbaros. They cannot hide from you.

But there is another caballero and I think that no man hides from him. I was a soldier. It is like a dream. When even the bones is gone in the desert the dreams is talk to you, you don’t wake up forever.
--Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian

Books:



.....Is that despotism

or absolute power...unlimited sovereignty,

is the same in a majority of a popular assembly,

an aristocratical council, an oligarchical junto,

and a single emperor, equally arbitrary, bloody,

and in every respect diabolical. Wherever it has resided

has never failed to destroy all records, memorials,

all histories which it did not like, and to corrupt

those it was cunning enough to preserve.....
--Ezra Pound, “Canto XXXIII”

Heroes:



Somewhere a portion of contemporary art has to exist as an example of what the art and the context were meant to be.
--Donald Judd
