New work creating a path for 2025. Been working on canvas. Would like to do some large loose canvas pieces. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on anything bigger than 36”x36”.

Still working on canvas right now. I am pleased with how this turned out. I hope you like it, too.
Alone Now Is the Same as Alone Then is my first big effort in 2025. Space continues to be a lens through which I see so many universal themes. Spend some time in my galleries and other links to see what you think of my work: paintings, novels, poetry, playlists, photo series. Twenty-plus years of work. Listen here.
Caught Fontaines D.C. wsg Jadu Heart at the Fillmore in Detroit! What a great show. In attendance: my lovely friends, Jeff and Bill, Mary and Dan. The evening started out at Ottava Via in Corktown. So much fun. Memories were made.

I’ve been thinking about this painting from 2006 a lot lately. I guess it’s the painting I hold all of my others up to. I’m a self-taught artist. I made this when I was learning a lot but didn’t know too much; when I was primarily focused on doing what I could do well. This is the painting that has continued to satisfy me over the years: the one that combined idea, image and other 2D aspects of painting in a way that has kept me thinking about it.
Patriotic Painting, 2006, mixed media on canvas, 40”x30”
Certain Fools & *The Wetland Poems is a collection of poems written in the 2010s. The collection weaves together a short series of meditations inspired by a wetland close to my home where I used to walk, and other poems which focus on my usual preoccupations of aging, identity, love, reality, art and more.

BYOC 2025 was a great event. I really enjoy bartending these events. Saw a lot of red dots on the walls before the night was over! Congrats to Michelle and the Collective and everyone else connected to Buckham Gallery in Downtown Flint, Michigan.
Also, very nice pick of my beloved. And I love the pick of me and Nic as we rep both of the awesome Buckham Gallery t-shirts!
These are the two paintings that were in the Diner, Dives and Drive-Ins exhibition at Buckham Gallery in 2024.
