Adventures in the Fourth Dimension

So I’ve been messing about with animation lately.  Some early efforts:

The Hollow Book

My latest installation, The Hollow Book, at the “Rooms to Let” temporary artspace.  The event is located in a pair of foreclosed houses in Cleveland’s Slavic Village, and runs for only two days (5/16-17), making this installation more ephemeral than most.  Fitting, given the setting.

a belated update

It’s been a while since I posted here, but/because the last few months have been quite busy.

First off, some new work.  The following paintings are part of my recent cairns series, addressing the ways in which we perceive the landscape and attempt to participate in it, and the ambivalent consequences of these attempts.  The series was created for my solo show at Micro Art Space in November 2014.  (click for full size)

Secondly, my webcomic just posted its 50th page!  When I began this project, I expected it to reach its conclusion at around a hundred pages, tops.  Now, in the thick of it, it looks like it will end up being much, much longer.

Meanwhile, I have a second comic in the works- this one will actually have characters!  Madness!  Watch this space.

Adventures in Sequential Art

This is my first new post in a while.  For the last couple months, I’ve been busy working on an online project that’s been buzzing around my head for the better part of a year, and now it’s just about ready to go.

VIA

VIA: a perambulatory tale will be an ongoing graphic novel that is:

1- a story without characters, and

2- a love-letter to the horizon

Beyond that, you’ll just have to see for yourself.  Regular posts begin Monday, September 1st at perambulate.net.  I promise weirdness and wonder.

Inverted Bestiary: The Reverse Centaur

Reverse Centaur

Of the many (many) unanswered questions regarding the Reverse Centaur, the greatest and most hotly debated by mythozoologists is this: how did it put on the loincl0th?

Inverted Bestiary: The Reverse Harpy

Reverse Harpy

In the grand scheme of cosmic justice, this beast fulfills a role complementary to its ordinary cousin.  Whereas the traditional Harpy swoops from on high to torment the wicked, the Reverse Harpy seeks to reward the fair-to-decent, usually by dropping in uninvited with a home-cooked meal.  Culinary opinions on the Reverse Harpy’s cooking are split.  While their dishes display an undeniable flair for color, texture, and flavor, most diners find the regurgitated rabbit bones off-putting.
