I Want To Be A Child

when I was first drawing this, one of the girls I babysit asked me if it was true. I said, "sometimes".

Aquí Reunimos

My first copper plate etching!

with black, orange and ultramarine etching ink.

based on this sketch from "religion and sexuality":

MACHETE

ooh... oooh... fuck yes. but seriously, lindsay lohan?

In The Circle- the event

in THe Circle was a huge success. Just have a look:

Civilization/Nature

Finally! the spray version is here! I prefer it over the reduction block version.

Water/Earth/Metal

When I was making my book on the Five Chinese Elements, I started giving the proof prints to friends depending on from which I thought they could benefit. By having the colors and symbols of the elements nearby, one can help keep the elements present in themselves in balance.

I made this especially for Rowan:

Photosynthesis

Querido Gallo

I took the best haiku I've ever written and made it into a woodblock print. Here are it's incarnations:

or on stonehenge with black, red and yellow etching ink.

Five Chinese Elements

here are the guts to a book I've been working on relating the five Chinese elements. as you turn the pages you are seen how the elements flow together- creating and destroying each other. The colors represent the power colors for the elements, the symbols are their Chinese names and the heads are my attempts to illustrate how each element expresses itself in nature and through our natures.

Our Psychic Connection

Here's a book I made inspired by the "psychic" practicing I was doing with Rowan and Katie. You'd be surprised how accurate one can be.

At Some Point, I Went to Georgia

Matt's family is awesome. I should have taken more pictures, especially of the amazing pizza Matt and I made for his family when they got back from the beach. My only complaint about Georgia? It's too fucking hot.

this picture got me the nickname "cul-de-sac nazi" when their neighbors thought I was trying to enforce the "no parking on the street" rule. dumb rule. I just liked the silver hydrant.
