The Exit's a Secret ▾ Charcoal, pastel & original poetry on 12 x 18″ 140lb watercolor paper – Available Art Print – Available Here ▾ The piece reads “The exit pulls you close, embracing lifeless eyes.

I Will Never Have a Life of My Own This is a very rare commission I recently completed. As with all of my commission work, I am very picky with any project I take on. I only request a touch of an idea or feeling allowing me full creative control to run with it. This was a seraphim angel they wanted in my style and fully encouraged my interpretation to allow it to be my own. I liked the idea of portraying the angel as a slave, almost bullied by god to worship and do his bidding. Flying around the......

It likes to chew, it likes to marinate me in spit. It likes to savor all the dirty things I was taught never to admit. It taught me there is no shame.

What started as me passing time in all the hotel rooms I stay at across the country touring with my art has now become a sequence of pieces. I will now formally introduce my Bible Page Series. This all started by me drawing on the pages of nightstand bibles in hotels. I would leave these works in them allowing them to potentially be found by an unsuspecting believer or possibly a heathen like myself. As I began posting these, there was a continued sentiment in people wanting to own these works. I began to ponder what that would look like......
