This last weekend three clients of mine had commissioned your’s truly to paint three different subjects that I’ve never painted nor sketched before: a baby, a semi, and a pirate ship. Let me know what you guys think!

Greetings from the Mighty Pacific!
Below you’ll find an photograph taken during a recent trip around the Olympic Peninsula as well as some selections from a new visual project I’m working on. It’s called Portrait Of June In Increments. I’m also including a song by a band called Grand Hallway. They’re from Seattle and just released a pretty great record last week called Winter Creatures. Enjoy!
“Pt. 3: Purple Patch”
“Pt. 4: Rube Goldberg Machine-Springtime Version”
“Pt. 6: Ode to June 11 and 12 as well as to the indescribable beauty of the Olympic National Forest”
P.S. Happy birthday John!
A friend asked me to bring my camera to the lake this sunday…
Written yesterday. Recorded in less than two hours today. This might be an ongoing project. I think I’ll call it slow-motion bedroom pop and then not give a shit. We can all thank Derek for the terrifyingly awesome portrait.

“It’s cool, it sucks.” Criticism is always welcome.
I just spent four hours recording and have nothing to show for it.

Born again by mourning
Moving mouthfuls of flowers
Up and down the alleys
Which all return to you
And your cherry blossom lips
And your champagne anthems
That keep honest men keeping on
You sang,
“Be brave and serve your purpose
Or go die out in a corn field
No one here can save you
Except you and you alone
But your songs, they bear repeating
Like some transcendental mornings
That keep some good people keeping on”
This is James Gadsden. He is responsible for the Gadsden purchase, a shady land deal made with mexico that was responsible for what is today southern arizona and new mexico. He kinda looks like dan.
Here is a short compilation of some stuff I’ve been shooting the past couple of months. Its mostly an experiment with color grading and editing. I don’t think it is finished yet. It seems to be too short.
I’ve been thinking about a particular situation that doesn’t work. Formula ‘A’ won’t connect with Formula ‘B’. In the end; however, I’ve discovered that a planned life is a dead life.

Feedback encouraged. I think the ‘like’ button might’ve taken the place of communication.
Quick acoustic sketch of my new song, “The Gods of Chicago.”
