Ami and I decided to foster through @brotherwolfan

Ami and I decided to foster through @brotherwolfanimalrescue this year and have the most amazing dog hanging out with us at home. Her name is Tiana and she is super sweet, mindful, calm and yet full of energy and crazy fast! She went from being scared and tail between her legs to trusting a playful in a 24 hrs. Just talked to my buddy @joeljadusets and he is interested in adopting her!! 🐶 #foster #fosterdog #dogood #828isgreat #giveback

Finally got around to painting these #vinyltoy blanks Ami bought me years ago using mostly #molotow paint markers and a bit of #ink. The first is a 3-faced triangle head sporting futuristic overalls with pin stripe pants and a cosmic triangle shirt with wildflower mushroom earthstar on the back. #splitpersonality The 2nd is a gold-toothed dinosaur scholar with racing flames and a #mushroom belly. #create #nonstop #originalart #kidrobot #mjbartist

👕💥🖌 Yo art lovers! I'm creating a run of super custom, one-of-a-kind, screen-printed SAGEMAN 📿 shirts in partnership with rainbow 🌈 🐍 serpent and artist @jerrycahillart over @radprintworks in #asheville. This is a "soft" pre-order launch to see who would be interested so I can get an idea of quantity and sizing. Let me know if you'd be down to support ART and your shirt size. 🙏 THANK YOU and MUSH LOVE.

This is it! The last spread and inside back cover. This book contains 49 original sketches spanning over 30 years and took two weeks to intricately trim, carefully paste and blend different ideas into something new and seamless. The marriage of the old and new, conscious and unconscious, colorful and black and white, as life goes. ⁠
⁠
It's appropriate to finish with an image of Sageman, an iconic master who came through during a spiritual service at First Unity in St. Pete FL. Sagemans double yoga crown chakra and fiery life force invites us to awaken to our greatest potential as (super) humans. May all beings be gifted with creativity and be open to the wonder of our existence and bring heaven down on earth. It is time we marry the Supermental light with our body matter. ✌🏼 ⁠

The last full spread of the book! This piece uses a very old sketch of a stylized man staring into your soul. I've always been able to create characters like this from pure thought and have wondered if they are indeed embodiments of spiritual teachers or just images from the subconscious and deep psyche. The left page combines two additional sketches: an obscure polar bear on an iceberg floating in a sea of contoured consciousness. ⁠
⁠
I hope you've enjoyed these glimpses into my sub-spiritual-psyche in the form of art and dreams manifest. Stay tuned for the last post of the inside cover. The Brooklyn Library just wrote me back and said they are backlogged getting books digitized because of covid, so hopefully they will be able to get it online soon. ✌🏼 ⁠

This #sketchbook submission to the @brooklynartlibrary #thesketchbookproject is a #mixedmedia curation of my random sketches dating back to my middle school years. Rogue drawings on a napkin or scrap paper get tossed in a special folder of "instant downloads" and were often short sparks of inspiration quickly captured to paper. Saving for a rainy day, my intention was to use these sketches in a way that honors my past and present as an artist, this is that book. A peek into my inner landscape as a human ⁠on this earth. ⁠ ⁠

A stylized line-art man with sharp waves smiles with a cosmic grin while tangled in waveforms. Inked eye beings float in the white space observing and influencing the entanglement. ⁠

This is a rare piece of work consisting of four different sketches loaded with symbolism. The main figure is a yogi made of cosmic swirls sitting on a cushion while it communicates with intelligence from the stars projecting outwards from the 3rd eye exposing a hidden dimension. A mother emanates 3rd eye energy and is glowing with yellow engoldened light while holding the mathematical formulas for life itself to be born from. Behind is a 2-dimensional being made from paper holding a heavy stone while observing the birth from the mother. Opposite page is a further developed child that is holding the heavy stone but has a halo of imagination and open space for a lighter future. ⁠

A negative space image of Dalí dominates the right page as a blue liquid pool of consciousness floats 3D forms from his headspace. A separate glued ink sketch of a tai chi master interacts chaotically with Dalí's 3-dimensional thought-forms as he dissolves painful wood and thorns into the pool. ⁠

The left page was the beginning of a backyard study of our house in St Pete Florida that I turned into a character. The right page is an old reference sketch of an #FSOL album cover with my own subconscious twist of the facing morphing into liquid art. ⁠
