Initial process for Digital piece
 

With these digital pieces that I’ve been making I like to start with a sketch first. I’ve been using the old surrealist practice of automatic drawing to make doodles or sketches. Then I take the sketches I like and start infusing narrative and structure into them. - May 10th 2020

Avery was Concerned
 

“Avery was starting to feel the walls closing in. He was starting to wonder if he should take the money he’s been keeping in the mattress and turn it into bitcoins?”

I’ve been messing around starting to mix my drawing with digital elements. more to come…

Digital Mock ups
 

I’m out in California. I don’t have a full studio at the moment, so i’ve Been working on digital designs and mock ups.

I post a few to my Instagram, and the alternates to my tumblr.

The inspiration has been coming from multiple sources. This design comes from the idea relating to beauty coming from broken places

Process Stencil Painting

One process I like to do is make a line art Stencil for a piece. I usually have some backgrounds that I've made hanging out.  I've rediscovered experimenting.

Usually I do a print of the Stencil in a light color on whatever background. Then  I proceed to paint in the spaces. It's sorta like marking my own paint by numbers.

It takes some time and if I were making true editions it would be pointless, but since I'm not right now - it's fun. After I've painted in the spaces I come back with the screen or Stencil and print the darkest color for the line art.

Making small Editions

Last weekend was the first time I worked on creating a small edition all at once. It took about three to four days. I make my pieces with 11x17" screens and the garment is already constructed. The process is time consuming, but having all the pieces together and ready is a nice feeling. I have several designs planed out and currently I'm looking for a manufacturer.

See thru tha Money
See Thru Tha Money.jpg

Here is a drawing that I did 2018 that I just found. I was having strange experiences with old friends and a lot of bizarre thoughts that did not feel like they belonged to me.

Some of that energy was tied to desperate attempts to make money. I feel that sometimes money weaves a spell that creates anxiety. Which is why the drawing is called "See thru tha Money".
