    Metamorphosis & Other Art

    Metamorphosis, paper collage, 2026 Here are some new experiments in collage art. This was a fun collection to make. I finally started working with the book of 1980s bathrooms I picked up a few weeks ago. I also remixed some compositions from my last art post. Most of these collages were glued down, and some…

    Chasing Daylight, paper collage, 2026 Here are some new experiments in collage art. I managed to find some fun, new materials earlier this week (in addition to those I picked up last week), including a vintage books of plants and a book of 1980s bathrooms…which is pretty fantastic.

    The Last Cowboy Under the Stars & Other Art

    The Last Cowboy Under the Stars, paper collage, 2026 I haven’t been feeling particularly creative lately, which has been frustrating.

    Cosmic Summer

    Cosmic Summer No. 13, paper collage, 2026 I love retro-spacey beach art. For that reason, whenever I find vintage beach imagery, whether in magazines or on postcards, it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that I am going to pair it with a spacey sky. Indeed, I have a rather sizable collection of retro-futuristic, summer-themed collages…

    The Hideaway & Other Art

    The Hideaway, paper collage, 2026 I’ve been in a bit of a lull, creatively speaking, for the past few weeks. I started some collage compositions and even some essays on various topics late last week, but to no avail…I just wasn’t into it. If it weren’t for the fox sighting last Sunday, I probably wouldn’t…

    The Rules (A Morning Poem)

    1. treat every morning as if it is the first and the last2. drink coffee as if embezzling its nectar for some sacred purpose 3. walk as if planets align with each footstep; and remember that this, too, is a form of prayer 4. feed the crows—and don’t forget to compliment them on their bewitching…
