I have just finished this thing, and i feel weird about it, but to humor myself I have taken this tiny cell phone image of this piece that in reality is about half my body in height. Its ready to go for Amy & I coming split show at Pony Club Gallery 1st thursday.

Come to My window

ABOVE IS THE PROMO PHOTO FOR THE NEW T.V. SERIES ABOUT MY FAMILY LIFE.


ABOVE IS A NEW IMAGE I COMPLETED A COUPLE DAYS BACK FOR THE UPCOMING SPLIT SHOW BETWEEN AMY KUTTAB & I AT THE PONY CLUB GALLERY. CAN YOU SEE THIS?


THE IMAGE ABOVE WAS DRAWN AT THE BEACH WHILE MY FRIEND JESSE AND AMY WERE PLAYING GUITAR TOGETHER. I BELIEVE IT WAS PARTIALLY INSPIRED BY AN IMPROV PUNK OUT SONG BY ZACK SOTO FROM SOME TIME BACK. ALSO I HAD JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MY SISTER WHO AS A BABY WAS LIKE A SHARK, AND THAT BEING AT THE BEACH I WAS THINKING ABOUT SHARKS. SHARKS!!!! HERSHY SHARKS!!! ITS AMY & JESSE'S NEW BAND?


BELIEVE IT OR NOT WE ARE PLAYING GOLF! DARIA SHOWED US HOW!


AMY FOUND BEACH CHARCOAL AND HAD US ALL ENLISTED TO MAKE THE ROCKY BEACH INTO A CARTOON HALLUCINATION!!!

Rainbow Orifice & major Beautiful





A short time ago I was asked to find someone to perform a synthesizer set to accompany an animated psychic reading & a new short animated piece by Stefan Gruber. I thought fast and decided with many mixed feeling that this may be the time to have the 1st performance of "Rainbow Orifice & Major beautiful", or myself & Amy Kuttab respectively. We practiced a set that fell somewhere between vangelis's china ablum and shiny balls of water zoloriax.
It was fun to do & I hope to scape it out this way more. Thanks to all who were there in both spirit & the physical. Special thanks to Jesse for sound mixing, and Stefan for trusting us to space out. Stefan is touring this show & having local synth's wherever he lands, play along with him. Look him up to see if he's in your town. www.stefangruber.com

Are you feeling me?


These are two new images that are mostly finnished for an upcoming art show soon top be announced. I am having a weird time, and times are weird. I don't believe I know how to make things that people will buy and put on there wall and love them. It also would seem I don't know how to make things that people will buy and put under there bed & love. I need to survive on what I thrive on. In the words of the suburban lawns " All action is reaction. Expansion . Contraction. Man the manipulator. . Underwater . Does it matter. Antimatter. Nuclear reactor . Boom boom boom boom"
The other day I was walking down a street and I saw a cat that was laying in what seemed the most natural & perfect of habitats. The cat lay between green foliage so comfortably & regally displayed on a dry bed that was some sort of blond long grass bush. It was beautiful and I was envious. I wanted to be close to that feeling and upon trying to physically bring myself near the cat I disturbed the beauty and he scattered.
