I took a break from painting last couple of months, but as the holidays hit, so did inspiration. With Geese on repeat, I dove in. I like where things are going. I'm excited to show you more new work soon. Just gotta trust the process till we get there. #abstractart #artstudio #santacruzmountains

A crazy painting. Bonus, you get 10,000 layers of paint underneath you can't see 🙈 #abstractart

New painting. I'm really happy about how this one turned out. Had fun creating the moody background, then adding just the right amount of crazy on top. Feels like the recipe for Life. Also, puppy approved 🐶 #abstractart #artstudio #art #abstractexpressionism

I like to work in pairs or series. Sometimes as a diptych, but often just joined by a similar theme. When I get the palette tuned in, the compositions settling in my head, why stop with one? #abstractart #abstractexpressionism #diptych #artstudio #abstractpainting #santacruz #artist

SEBRA. A little Sea Horse. I knew the title, before i knew the painting. I like to play with colors, the interplay of the light brown & pink, the zebra motif. I like the serendipty of scraping and throwing colors, creating a map as I go. #abstractart #abstractexpressionism #artstudio #santacruz

Opening event at First Friday Art Tour. #abstractart #artexhibition #santacruz

KAOS II. #artstudio #abstractart #abstractpainting

Good morning from the woods #abstractart #art

Spring time in the mountains. Time to paint #abstractart #artiststudiospace #artstudio #art

A few days ago I had the opportunity to sit down with @leolaporte.me @jeffjarvis.bsky.social and @paris.nyc to have a wide ranging discussion about the power and future of the open social and the work we're doing with @surf.social You can check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwd1...

Sooo, I built an NBA feed on @surf.social that grabs posts from Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon… plus podcasts, YouTube clips, and RSS drops. All in one place. Strictly hoop. And, if you wanna check it out, you can pin a version of it here on Bluesky. I guess decentralized social is kinda cool 😎.

I painted this last year, inspired by @fcmidtjyllanddk.bsky.social winning the championship. Hence the gold yellow, the heather-like red, mixed w/ FCM black. Out West, we are tough and resilient. That's the story this painting tells. It now hangs in my office to remind me every day. #abstractart

GM. Glitch art by @spogel.bsky.social always look good on my wall.

Exploring galleries in Denmark. This is the artist Gunnar Thorup. #artgallery

Excited to be included in this Exhibition with three of my abstract paintings celebrating the San Lorenzo River. Opens Friday, April 4 in Santa Cruz. #santacruz #santacruzmountains #abstractart #firstfriday

Finished a new painting. Loving the bloody Red. #abstractart #artstudio #art #abstractexpressionism #abstractpainting

GM. New painting from the studio. Chaotic and bloody messy. #abstractart #abstractpainting

Good morning to a diptych. #abstractart #art

My art was accepted for the super cool San Lorenzo River Exhibition at riverstudio116. The exhibition will open at First Friday on Friday, April 4, at the Tannery Arts Center in Santa Cruz, CA. Come on out to support your local artists. 🙂

What a glorious mess.

Adding a frame makes the difference. Digging how these turned out. You like? #abstractart #abstractpainting #artiststudiospace #art

GM. This is my painting. And this is where I work. #abstractart #artstudio #art

Murky In The Water. New painting. #abstractart #art

All work-in-progress. The journey is the most fun. We'll see where we end up. Four tries, something good will happen 🙂

Sometimes, it's just not coming together, and you just say f@%k it and start throwing paint. And then sometimes (sometimes) magic can happen.

I am generating images that reflect alternate universes by using quantum-randomized latent vectors. The quantum system seeds the AI’s internal latent space, ensuring that each generated image represents a reality probabilistically different from another, like branching timelines in the multiverse.

GM. Colors in the woods.
