Went to an amazing concert: Ezra Furman at the Sinclair in Cambridge, Mass. Left feeling hopeful and connected, despite the precariousness of our times.

An inadvertent visual collaboration between my camera and the computer screen I was projecting it to.

Scenes from Boston

A friend and I went out on an evening kayaking expedition on the Connecticut River, to see the moon rise over the water. We got a bonus shooting star out of the adventure. He saw it in real-time. I discovered it later, while editing my photos.

Fascinating and soothing electric guitar + tape loop performance by Portland, Oregon-based Marcus Fischer. Also love the raw industrial ambience of the space.

A 🔥 song by a new favorite band, Deep Sea Diver, featuring new fave singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jessica Dobson. The video captures some of the fervor and absurdity of our time, and the song just smokes. Enjoy the earworm.

I wrote a song.

Homegrown

I made another painting. “Looking Up” Acrylic on canvas 30 by 30 inches ==== I’ll be showing this in February 2026 at the ECA Gallery in Easthampton, Massachusetts.

What better day than a breezy, fall-like first day of summer to introduce a painting that I just finished yesterday. Set in autumn, it is an ode to our connectedness (by way of one attribute that we all share—our mortality). I am calling it “Ghost Trees.”

I won’t be there (schedule conflict), but one of my paintings will.

Earlier this month, the seminal 80s band ’til tuesday reunited for the first time in nearly 40 years (!) to play a show at the Cruel World festival in Pasadena, California. Sadly, I could not attend. Fingers crossed that they’ll play another show. Perhaps in Boston, where it all started? 🙏

This weekend I took a monoprint workshop at Amanda Barrow’s studio in Easthampton, Massachusetts. I enjoyed learning a new-to-me image-transfer process, and I’m fairly pleased with the results!

I don’t know whether dancing is a valid form of resistance, but I’m fairly certain that it provides much-welcome solace. Video of Becca and me by our friend Nancy.

An Amherst oddity

The bulb show at the Smith College Botanic Garden was a sight for sore eyes, and a warm refuge on this chilly, windy day.

Studio views

Burning ’cross the breeze Revisiting a piece I made four years ago during a pandemic. Mediums: photography, Gocco screen print, antique map, waxed red embroidery thread, peach twigs, wind, chimes, peepers (none were harmed), video, the internet. Given to a friend.

When he’s not busy making JHS guitar effects pedals, Joshua Heath Scott philosophizes. In this 15-minute spoken-word piece, he opines on the work of Wendell Berry, the value of periodically stepping away from technology, and a few principles that can benefit creative people and our practice.

A few thoughts on DJ’ing, on this snow-covered day…

If you are out and about on New Year’s Eve, and you’re in the mood for hearing some music, consider coming to hear Joey Pesce, Clark Goodpaster, and me. We will be playing an early show—4:00 in the afternoon at Bishop’s Lounge in Northampton, Massachusetts.
