Holed up in Badger, IA until after Thanksgiving. Then heading back to Moscow, ID to launch my new company.

Apocalypse Family

These are abstractions pushing into the unconscious - forming the names and basis for pushing certain elements forward. They are meant to be more about process than content, however, in preparation for some figurative work. I expect the group to be around 25 paintings in all. The practice is leading to a formal approach - I'm wasting a lot of materials and putting too much time into the work when I don't have a subject.

Pool Boy Halloween 2021

10.26.21 Today I made the most ultimate Pool Boy spookiest and amazing hits playlist that is 1.6 days long. This marks an amazing day in my life...a long look to dancing days behind and forever forward. 10.26.21 I produced original posters for the contest winners - 12 posters in all, rolled and wrapped with tri-color rubber bands. 10.27.21 Working on lighting and power for the Spider installation. Black lights, lasers, audio-reactive analog video signal. 10.29.21 Setting up DJ booth and staging installation for the Costume Contest. 10.30.21 The big day has arrived. Setup and DJ the street party scene rocking my apocalyptic prom time traveler look. Pool Boy poster giveaway. 10.31.21 Rest & relaxation. 10.26.21 Today I made the most ultimate Pool Boy spookiest and amazing hits playlist that is 1.6 days long.

Song Tree grows the idea that a song is alive. An artist should release multiple versions of their compositions. Songs change as they are performed and are never really finished. By creating this archive I’m using Song Tree to show the larger effort that goes into creating recorded music.

C-Town Blues

I’ve got the C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
Porter says I shouldn’t
But there ain’t no stopping me

I kapo up a fret
I kapo up a fret
Sharks upon my neck
I kapo up a fret
Porter says I shouldn’t
But there ain’t no stopping me

He, fraternal twin
He, fraternal twin
A commie from Ohio
He, fraternal twin
He’s a holy roller
Like a bird on roller skates

I’ve got the C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
Porter says I shouldn’t
But there ain’t no stopping me

Porter has a cult
Porter has a cult
Commie from Ohio
Porter has a cult
He’s a holy roller
Like a bird on roller skates

You kicked me in the face
Kicked me in the face
Kicked me in the rain
When you kicked me in the face
You’re the schadenfreude 
In the class of ’98

I can’t find my phone
I can’t find my phone
My toilet’s overflowing
I can’t find my phone
He’s the schadenfreude 
In the class of ’98

I’ve got the C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
C-Town Blues
I’ve got the C-Town Blues
Porter says I shouldn’t
But there ain’t no stopping me
