THINGS EVERY YOUNG ARTIST IN PHOENIX SHOULD KNOW
1: THIS CITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. It will claim to be. Don’t trust it. Anything positive happening in this community is occurring in spite of the city’s efforts, not because of them.  You can’t even sell your art on the sidewalk if you want. There are some cities in Maricopa County that recognize your constitutional right to show and sell your art on public property. Phoenix...

I made six new Jerks Friday night. I had them on display with my other paintings at an event that took place later in the evening. These are hand-painted originals, not prints. They are regularly 35 dollars, but I decided to lower the price down to 20 bucks each for one night only. Apparently that was a horrible idea, because they were the only things of mine that didn’t sell. Actually,...

You saw these illustrations in my blog last year. I posted about two of them a week for the entire year. These are the watercolors from my 2010 journal, and only ten of them remain. They are signed originals, and I’m letting them go for six bucks a piece. 2010 was a horrible year, and I’d rather not keep any souvenirs.

WHAT TWO DECADES OF SURVIVING AS A WORKING ARTIST...
I have wisdom to impart, or at least I think I do. Humor me.  1: Don’t get drunk at your own show (Actually, Juxtapoz gets credit for that one. This is not really something I’ve had a problem with, though some of you certainly have). 2: Don’t do band logos and album covers for free. If they’re paying you in “exposure”, they have none to offer. They’re in...

MY WORST YEAR, UP FOR SALE
It’s been a bad year. I’ve had just about enough of it. The vast majority of the illustrations that made their way onto this blog of mine were scanned from my 2010 journal. I don’t even want it around me anymore. I’ve decided to sell it for 300 bucks. If you want it, you can have it.  Most of the illustrations were done in water color, but there are some black and white...

NOT A GOOD DAY
I’m not having a good day.  This whole week has been pretty bad, but today is probably the worst of it.  I made this painting about an hour ago. I painted it on an old book.  I’m in a bad mood. I want to destroy something. So here’s what’s going to happen: I’m taking this painting and setting a trap for it. I’m going to hang it over one of the many canals...

RISE OR FALL
You’re a fool. You’re on the receiving end of frequent lectures regarding your lack of sensitivity to their afflictions. These are intended to make you feel like a self-absorbed shell of a human being. Your problem, as they see it, is that you’re too caught up in the rigors of everyday life to tend to their needs. They pretend not to notice that you’re already doing this...

A PATH TO AVOID
The words will not match the accompanying illustration, and for that I apologize.  It assumes hominal form but exhibits no human traits. It possesses no moral compass. It doesn’t comprehend love. It is unable to perform a single act of human decency. It views kindness as opportunity. It exploits and extracts until there’s nothing left of you to take. It puts up with you because it...

GREETINGS, MERCHANT
From the dream pad that I keep by my bed when I’ve dreamed something noteworthy and wish to record it: I’M AT THE SCHOOL OF MY FORMATIVE YEARS. WE ARE ALL ADULTS NOW. THEY STILL DESPISE ME. THEY BROUGHT THEIR CHILDREN. EVERYBODY IS UGLY. BALD, NECK-LESS MAN WEARING MY CRASS T-SHIRT AND A LONG SKIRT EXTENDS HIS UNUSUALLY LONG ARMS TOWARD ME AND SAYS, “GREETINGS, MERCHANT. WHAT...

FREE AND ACCEPTED
My teeth serve as keys in my organ of pain, each one bringing its own unique and colorful torture to the collection. A quick brush across them with my tongue reveals the most painful song I’ve ever known.  Thankfully, my front teeth are in tact. They allow me the luxury of chewing my food, and also smiling without looking like a backwoods reprobate. For this reason, people tend to think...

At some point she is going to die. Her cyst will rupture and her lungs will collapse. Her family will grieve. Her son will commit suicide. Her husband will die three years later of prostate cancer. Her daughter will live the rest of her days in solitude, never having met a man or given birth to a child. She will simply grow old and wither away. Their family will cease to be. No one will care.

AS IT IS TOLD
It does as it is told. It tries to meet expectations. It fails. It is reprimanded. It takes it. It feels abandoned by the only earthly master it has ever served unconditionally. It has no idea where it belongs anymore.

There’s a piss-white statue of a crying boy kneeling at the foot of something, but it isn’t entirely clear what, because that detail was omitted from the sculpture. Apparently this is only an integral part of a much larger display. It sits to the left of the walkway on a dirt lot by the railroad track, put there for some reason, or for no reason at all. Maybe it fell out of the back...

TRANDLE
She exists in a world you have trouble comprehending. Her body is hijacked by foreign substance given to her by alien invaders who presumably control her thoughts and actions via remote, causing her form to twist and finally congeal until her spine has locked and granted limited motion to her limbs and neck.  Her assigned post is the bus stop on 32nd street just south of Thomas. Here she...
