Also the first in a series of self portraits.

Personally, I’m not a big fan of clothes on animals. The only exception to this would be a little fake leather motorcycle hat with tiny goggles on your pet or a helmet that amplifies telekinetic energy.

Toad of Constant Sorrow thought you was a toad. 

It’s crazy that owls are even a thing that lives on Earth. Seriously, go look at pictures of them.

I can’t stop painting Gilman trying to hold things. I feel like I should apologize for this.

Respected equally by all members of the breakfast club, David Bowie was a gracious and absolutely real person who was not swayed by anything except what inpired him at the time. No one can stop themselves from respecting such an authentic person, and I think that if we all become our own versions of that the world will improve significantly.

It’s a little known fact that Harry Houdini was actually a levitating werewolf. The rest of his act was total hogwash.

I don’t want to alarm you, but there are probably like 300 more of these crawling around somewhere close by.  

Since everything we experience is filtered through our own senses, when you look at someone you are really seeing yourself looking at them. When others look at you they are really seeing themselves looking at you. This already makes you practically in love with each other. We shouldn’t feel so alone all the time and it’s ok that we’re weird and the things that divide us are not real.

I do this painting in protest of arithmetic.

Porgs are like penguins but somehow maybe even cuter than penguins. 

I find it hilarious that there are a number of people who are super mad at them on the internet. The best way to deal with people disliking you for no reason is to train very hard to fight meanness and tyranny wherever it can be found and to become a source of light in the universe.

The universe has love, death, sadness, kindness, pain, life, the pyramids, lettuce, gravity, history, all the pairs of pants, and everything else that has ever existed. The things waiting to be discovered are endless. Our lives deserve to be filled with a real sense of wonder and we should be paying way more attention.

Our solar system is moving at like 500,000 miles per hour around the milky way in such a large orbit that it feels like a straight line. Each of us is going really really fast and we’re never going to be in the same place again so the only possible thing to do is move forward at like 500,000 miles per hour ( within reason ).

I recently adopted two kittens, brothers. For a good percentage of the time I was working on this series they attacked my feet and lower legs and caused all manner of general chaos in the studio.

Suspiciously similar to the two kittens featured in this painting, Milkshake and Boom Boom have black and white patches and they are from the future.

This show grew from a few random thoughts that began to fit together into a series, taking inspiration from pulp novel cover illustrations containing what we thought the future would look like in the past. This is the first concept in the series, and thank you for coming.

When I was a kid the x-files was one of my favorite shows and so I was completely terrified that I was going to be abducted by aliens in my sleep. I’ve since watched enough sci-fi to know that aliens can also be cool and they don’t always just do experiments on you or implant you with things and just because something is unknown doesn’t mean it has to be scary.
