Being An Artist Is Hard

"Hypnagogic Gender Studies Moo-cow"

Mixed media, 2023. Inspired by the hypnagogic work of Salvador Dali, I decided to try my hand at sketching hypnagogic visions. These creatures came to me and made any point they had somewhat clear, what with their striking features. Dali used keys he'd drop on a loud saucer once he fell a sleep, but I just relied on my dog Günther to wake me.

"A Hole In The Head"

Mixed media, 2024.

"my troubles in communication"

Mixed media collage, 2024. My experience with how it is talking with others. The ear, eye, and mouth are photos of my own parts. They are rendered in the struggle to work together in the communication process.

The brain is a hand grenade,

Words shoot-to-kill first,

I stutter or be silent-

Fire.
