My #tall collaboration with my partner Suzie AR from 2013 - for the exhibition “All Along the Watchtower” (Group), Pterodactyl, Philadelphia and now #blueskyartshow - I don’t think we had an official title for this, but it is our defaced version of the Frank L. Rizzo Monument.

"People seem to think I'm just working with funny noises, that it isn't quite serious or something. I think a lot of people have a sort of block about electronic music, they think it must sound frightening and oppressive." -Delia Derbyshire #BOTD

In 2014 Inventory Press invited me to make a Public Collectors book. This was before my self-publishing rampage hit full force. The result was this beautiful 224 page tome that is long out of print. I have some final copies they gave me to sell, available for $25: halfletterpress.com/public-colle...

Thank you to everyone who attended my “Carry On” exhibition, and specifically to Doug Burns from Souvenir Arts for making it all possible. Over $550 has been donated to Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition from proceeds. #art #pdx

"We have a need for an enlightened, watchful articulate opposition. We have no need for semi-secret societies who are absolutist, dictatorial and would substitute for a rule of law and reason an indiscriminate assault on the institutions that must be held sacrosanct." ~Rod Serling

With “Native Son,” Richard Wright ignited a fire in American literature. One of the most influential writers of the 20th century, he inspired many, including the artist John Wilson, who would go on to use Wright’s words in his prints and paintings.

This is a really fantastic bit of writing. It could be applicable to any art form. #art thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

In Chicago, people protest ICE everywhere, including the marker display at this Michael's store on Elston Ave.

I got to see the newly renovated Portland Art Museum with my partner Suzie and good friend Alyson Bowen yesterday. The improvements are amazing. We all enjoyed the large exhibition of Rick Bartow’s work. Fantastic / heavy stuff. This is called “Song Bear” (2011). #art

I give thanks for Yorgos Lanthimos. My partner and I saw “Bugonia” last night and really enjoyed it. The art direction at the end is stellar.

"Marlene Dumas [South African painter] has become the first contemporary woman artist to join the Louvre's permanent collection...." (The Art Newspaper, 2025) Continued 'Firsts' for women in the arts show that a quest for equity is still necessary.

A foggy #evening in Portland, OR - for the #blueskyartshow - I used to be a regular at this place when I worked around the corner. That was 2016-2020. I was in the neighborhood again a few months ago to see a concert and took this pic.

Another Century of Chemical Warfare Since the moment I found the WWI era photos in this booklet in a digital archive and figured out how I would use them to write about what is happening in Chicago now, and what ICE is doing with chemical warfare, this booklet felt like it made itself.
