Finally visited my install at Elmont LIRR station. Here’s the glass portion at sunset 🔆 The figures - dancing, running, relaxing - are grounded while absorbed in the environment of wavering shapes & opacities. Ode to the shift in the world we are experiencing as a collective

lost a job purely because the other artist has 200k followers... unfortunately superficial numbers and metrics matters no matter quality or engagement or fill in the blank. keep fighting the good fight everyone.

Illustrators, artists, designers: not saying you should make a poster or t shirt, but if you’re still posting work and not talking about what’s going on, I don’t give a fuck how talented you are, we are not the same.

Had a nightmare project killed, I feel great. Every year I have 1-3 projects that absolutely do not work out whatsoever. It's not until this year that I realized it usually has nothing to do with my skillset, and everything to do with miscommunication.
