FUNKY FLOWERZ
My NFT collection ‘FUNKY FLOWERZ’ consists of 9 different flower species, each one with 300 unique variations to total 2700 in all. I mapped out an intricate hierarchy of rarity by including different bugs and adding special edition colorways.
Self reflection
The thing about side projects is that you’re never sure if you’re any good at it, to keep doing it. And because you don’t keep doing it, you never get good at it.
Coat Check
This is a short story that takes a harsh look at the sometimes disheartening and disillusioning realities of young love. After working coat check for a campus charity gala, the story idea struck me like a mallet. I wrote it feverishly over the course of three nights.
Sign to Stay
Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. 17.6 of those people are deaf or hearing impaired. and yet, the majority of mental health and suicide prevention focuses on telephone hotlines.
EXPANSION – Lexington’s Psychedelic Experience
EXPANSION is Lexington, KY’s Psychedelic Experience and Music Festival. We pride ourselves on being just as visually-stunning as the music that’s on stage. Lexington has a great, tight-knit creative community of musicians and visual artists and the event gives them both a platform to showcase their work.
Big in the Eighties
Recently, I reconnected with my old friend, next-door neighbor, and songwriting partner from my high school days. Like lots of kids in the ’80s, MTV inspired us to start writing songs and form a band. Naturally, we went nowhere, got “real” jobs, and lost touch after college. During quarantine, he sent me some music he was working on and we collaborated again after more than 30 years. And, since we were raised on MTV, we couldn’t release a song without an accompanying video.
Donald Trumps
Donald Trump’s attitude of tweet before he speaks has dropped him in hot water on many occasions. After 4 turbulent years in office, Donald Trump’s presidency ended with the blocking of all his social media platforms.
PyleOfMemories
My maternal grandmother asked me to write a memory about her. A Forget Me Not of sorts. But her request meant more than just something I’d scribble on a birthday card. She had dementia.
The Bashful Boys
Have you ever seen a pug in a Halloween costume? It’s cute—but it’s also very, very sad. They look ashamed. Defeated. Embarrassed. For this portrait series, I aimed to portray a few of today’s (seemingly shameless) political figures in an unfamiliar emotional state: that of a pug squeezed into a polyester unicorn straight jacket.
The Game
We took America’s favorite news teleprompter and turned it into a board game. The goal is to read the news without laughing. Other players sabotage a mad-libs-style news story, selecting words & phrases like “gyrating” “undiagnosed drip” and “horny cousin” to get the newscaster to break. It’s just a hoot.
