Print: $14.99 I make images that keep the window partly open between the subject being depicted and the marks made by my hand. In painting a sparrow, for example, the bird is clearly a bird. While at the same time the oil paint on the canvas remains oil paint. This open relationship allows two important qualities to be at the forefront: energy and transformation.

Print: $12.99 The Jagdalack book is a collection of paintings. A series of wordless images that came about as I, like him, set out on a search. His an adventure for a home. Mine for developing a manner of painting that would allow the finished piece to retain the energy of the act of creation. These images are evidence of that exploration. By taking a big, red, eye-flecked beast and placing him amongst abstract shapes, tangible, playful environments emerged. Contemplating this world, the Jagdalack and I sought to find solace in swirls of paint. The story is a simple search for meaning.

We love this wise fool for knocking over our jar of expectations and for fooling us into believing the martians are coming. This is a story about a disgruntled town and a man in a mask who invigorates the myth. In form and content, this is an art book of exploration.

Print: $17.57 From the introduction:
This book is a collection of demons. They came about as I was working on a cover for Milton’s Paradise Lost and simply took the project over. I had decided that making a monster for Hell out of juxtaposing an augmented animal with a child would be considerably more evocative than the standard fare of big, hulking beasts. This dichotomy brought forth a further unraveling of who these walking contradictions were and the unresolved stories behind their eyes. The title, Corpus Colosseum is a play on words- corpus meaning “body” in Latin, the Colosseum is that great big battleground arena for the gladiators, and the corpus callosum is the part of the brain that connects both hemispheres. Entangling body, space, and mind- welcome to the garden of demons.

Print: $11.70 Since I moved to New York City I've done a lot of drawing. This book is a compilation of on-location ink drawings from The American Museum of Natural History, on The Staten Island Ferry, and at construction sites and churches throughout the city. There are two realities at play in these drawings: the subject in its true state (the man sleeping at the station), and the marks made by my hand on the paper. It is my intent to balance the charge between these elements. The real and the illusion are in an eternal dance of agreement (“that’s a man”) and disagreement (“those are messy ink lines”). The creation and the act, the finished and the unfinished, caught in a still, intimate moment.
