Flo Rida 1 4 Thoracic

Damn! That’s the title.

What the fuck dude! I am totally incapacitated and endlessly uncomfortable in my body today and have spent the day writhing around and waiting for That One Long Sleep. So it’s safe to say I am super pleased to check my emails in the abyss and see that I have won the Juror’s Choice Award for the Black and White 2024 exhibition at the Praxis Gallery in Minneapolis. The show opening is tonight if you wanna go in my place and accept my award. I’m seriously super surprised and basking in thi...

Ha ha ha ha (in b&w)(for thoracic)

Ain’t nothin’ but a gangster party

So for like a year starting in late 2022 I wore shades in most of my self portraits. I then got a lot of these shade shots published and exhibited without any context. Everyone probably thinks I’m a G but it’s not just that but that I’m also protecting my eyesight after getting LASIK in Tijuana.

OK IM FLYING TO FLORIDA TOMORROW THATS CRAZY I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO TRAVEL LIKE THIS SINCE 2017 AND REALLY HOPING IT GOES WELL PLEASE THINK OF ME FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS. Preferably in the mo...

Incoming rant oops not again.

Did a lot of resin pouring over the past month. Learned a lot and cried a lot. It is the absolute bane of my existence. The physical positions that this requires hits everything on my no-no list for daily existence in this body. In fact I cant even begin to describe the endless ravine of plight that is the intersection of nerve pain and delicate finicky runny piles of fucking glue. Why did I decide to embark on this? Why am I so extra? I could have just sl...

I don’t often share work that comprises of posing for others here but I’m really in love with some of these images I shot with Stephen Podraski a couple of weeks ago in Denver at an *gasp* indoor studio set. My favorite imagines of myself are consistently ones that I’ve taken of myself while alone and often in some sort of existential or suffer-fueled spiral of doom. Shooting with Stephen puts this affinity to the test. I really appreciate having another side of me captured that I might...

Butch Cassidy and the ROYGBIV

The cliff scene in that old western movie was filmed right here directly above me… where they are now building another giant house :( ok

I took this in Jan on my way home from other stuff so I was Le Tired but wanted to bang it out because I think it was New Year’s Day or something else “important.”

I thought I was alone but this guy taking Just...

A really special afternoon

I’m worried my brain has that rare disease where you don’t know how to sleep anymore and then you die of exhaustion. I tried to sleep until like 30 minutes before my session today and finally gave up. I’m so uncomfortable in my body right now that every breath in hurts me and makes me feel nauseous. How could you fall asleep during that.

I redirected my plight to posing for Palestine and our 100 attendees. Letting them watch me tremble and cry. And absorbing that power. Not sure ...

What right is left

No, they aren’t Christmas colors.

It’s nice to feel inspired to create after a while of not feeling that way. It’s nice to have things that help move me into new spaces that provide such inspiration. No I don’t mean physical spaces like this house. And for the record— I’ll take an unfinished basement over a finished one any day if I’m gonna be shooting inside (the proof is in the post archives…).

Feeling inspired to move through some of this sorrow and guilt that...

Rub a dub dub… dub dub

Cervical Goodies!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe if I keep stewing…

in this hot tub for the next few days my body will distintigrate into nothing and then I’ll be able to sleep.

Both Ends, Baby! (Thoracic+)

Projections

Created through the fog on ThAnKsGiViNg. The holidaze are a weird time for some of us. I posted a bit on that day, then had an alcohol and did my thing. Here is a non-contextual sneak peek into what I started working on. Other than that I’ll leave you guessing for now.

Im really stoked about this sudden wave of actual creativity that is finding its way to me while deep in The Void. But I won’t poke that too much out of fear of scaring it away. So hindsight updates to come once the ...
