HOME SERIES: COMPLETE

Since i left you off with piece #006, much has evolved and developed! Here are the last four drawings in my series of intergalactic landscapes. the originals will soon be available through my website, there will be no prints or copies made. also currently looking for new galleries, venues, coffeehouses, shops, bars and alternative art spaces for future shows. i'm open to collaborations as well with legit creatives and entrepreneurs.

in other news i've just been getting settled into the new house, playing around with djing and producing and enjoying the solitude of this chilly desert winter.

much love and winter solstice holiday blessings,

A big red LED TV screen allows visitors to play games of PONG.Tarot Card readers and astrologers have set up a "gypsy camp" where you can get your fortune told.
Stroll the sculpture path and five acre GLOW grounds and discover Illuminated sculpture and multi-media creations by dozens of artists.
