Beautiful MommySomeone once told me that they had an inside joke about the cooler a person was, the bigger a horn they would grow. This made me wonder if someone could then be hindered by their coolness. That is what I think happened to my mother. I think she got tangled and weighed down by what she thought she was and could be.

Mermaids
I'm always drawing mermaids. That they are as much animal as human is useful in expressing how animal humans really are.

Cross Hatchling is a frame story written and illustrated by me about how familial bonds, memory and truth are transitory things.

SNELSSNELS is a short film I wrote and directed, starring Carabella Sands, Juliana Converse, and Nicholas Rengarts. The plot concerns two mask-wearing adult children who inhabit a world of alleys, where their occupation is to scribble inane and nonsensical graffiti for the general public (who they rarely encounter) to misunderstand. After discovering a firearm, they are given a stern lesson by a tall blonde vamp clad in leather. This results in a newfound acceptance of their lives through doing nothing. You can only see half of the screen here, but follow this link for the full screen version on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxwvb8aozOs&list=HL1383139691&feature=mh_lolz

A portrait of my Grandparents
This is an installation I did for the Jordan Faye Block Contemporary Gallery for a three day salon show. Here is the accompanying artist statement:
Portrait of My Grandmother
Having children and making a family is the greatest creative act available to us as humans. Beyond creating a family of 5 children and 5 grandchildren, my grandmother had the compulsion to take pictures of every landscape, animal, and person she encountered (occasionally with the threat of destruction of her precious camera.), but mostly she took pictures of her family. My grandmother doesn’t remember taking a single picture and if she lives long enough, she may not remember the family she created.
Portrait of My Grandfather
Granddad also took pictures, too. It was his job when he was a soldier in the WWII, but after the war he only took pictures of my grandmother when she asked him to.
Photographic Evidence
I wanted there to be a part of my family that the viewer could take home with them so I made copies of my grandparents snapshots, bagged, and made carbon copies of my Grandmother handwriting (and sometimes my Grandfather’s chicken scratch) on the packages.
