Somewhere between analog and digital. I paint, I print, I sometimes post. Occasionally coherent.

New work: RAID System

Been thinking a lot about thoughts, labor, memory and decay.

"User Compliance," an earlier piece, started to explore the quiet work of our hands and I've been expanding on those ideas with this work and some others I have in motion.

A framed watercolor painting featuring a bouquet of flowers, including a prominent protea, displayed against a softly lit, modern interior. The artwork is propped against a wall with another abstract painting in the background. The scene is bathed in warm natural light, with greenery adding a peaceful ambiance.

A text overlay on a warm-toned, softly blurred background describing the meaning behind the artwork 'No Mud, No Lotus – Beginning Anew.' The description explains the piece’s connection to Thich Nhat Hanh's Beginning Anew ceremony, its symbolism of impermanence, and the presence of the protea flower representing resilience and renewal.

A layered design featuring the Monochrome Canvas logo in bold, blocky letters, overlaid with delicate floral line drawings. The faded background shows the framed artwork 'No Mud, No Lotus – Beginning Anew,' softly visible behind the text.

Feeling so grateful to connect with people near and far through my work. A woman from Europe just purchased this piece to hang in her wellness center outside of Berlinβ€”and knowing it will be part of a space for healing and reflection means so much to me 🫢

I posted this drawing on Meta with the caption "I illustrated this the last time the Oval Office was infested with rodents" and got shadow-banned 😘

"The nude are bold, the nude are sly
To hold each treasonable eye.
While draping by a showman's trick
Their dishabille in rhetoric,
They grin a mock-religious grin
Of scorn at those of naked skin."
- Robert Graves

Deuxième Moi

This piece explores the layered nature of identity and self-perception. The mirrored figure suggests both a literal reflection and an introspective process, evoking a sense of stillness and quiet self-awareness.

Hello Blue Sky.
