There’s a name for what happens when language stops being information, when it moves beyond story and starts being a vibe. I’ve been calling it poetry design. It isn’t a movement yet. If I have my way, it will be. Not to be a gatekeeper: to invite participation. If you’ve ever walked into a room […]
WORDS FOR WALLS – STUDIO NOTE Words belong not just in books, but on walls. Words for Walls came into view after I had started giving language a personality and it was begging to go on the wall. I took note. It became clear to me that, as an artist, language was my medium […]

Back to The Journal I’M HERE EVANGELIZING ABOUT COLOR – THINK OF ME AS YOUR COLOR JESUS It’s true that Chat GPT recently described my Instagram feed as a modern art exhibit that forgot to take its ADHD meds, ‘like you’re the Dr Phil of the color spectrum’. I’m not shy, I’ll take it. I’m […]

The phrase ‘blue is for the sky and jeans’ could be heard bouncing around my echo chamber often. Then something happened. I found myself in […]
When I was five my parents built a new house for us on a horse paddock. I’ve no idea what happened to the horses because we were 100% NOT a horse family. It was the 70’s and no one was shy about decoration or proper heating. Heaven. As a small Leo roaming the world I […]
