About Me


American landscape painting, 1775-1856. Not much cannot be summarized by Thomas Cole's The Course of Empire, 1836, and through pointillist capitalist naturalist interpretives of Thoreau's Society for the Diffusion of Useful Ignorance and the proposed Gospel According to This Moment, slightly amended, of course, in such words: "I believe in the forest, and in the meadow, and in the night in which the neon glows."
Quite possibly both Utopian and Arcadian.

****************
I love making sounds, all kinds of sounds. Particularly pretty ones. Here is a lullaby with owls that I made with my dear Tyson. Here is a swelling of violins and electricity and a poem I created with my friends Sean, Jon and Jasmine. My favorite thing in the world is making sounds with people I love and I plan on doing it as long as I have hands, and if I lose my hands then I will wear plastic hands, and we all know that plastic lasts forever.
I also draw things.. like drawings, and tattoos. I am a gun for hire. Hire me frequently for best use.
I wrote the poems in this. Matthew Trygve Tung made the beautiful print on the cover. It's about a lot of things, about urban ruins, places like the Greenpoint Terminal Market and the Champion Mill and the dust in the atmosphere that contains them.
Do you like to read?

My Interests

Long-haired cats, curly-tailed dogs, anyone who will lead me by the hand into their shadowy submarine, various stars of the silent screen, the ghost of Lyn Collins, the 9 o'clock blue sky, Yellowknife, NWT, but mostly, this dude:
