Night eyes 😎 Finally got proper pictures of this amazing phenomenon! Mantises change their eye color (and light sensitivity) at night by transporting pigments from the surface of each compound eye unit toward the deeper eye region. Same female Tenodera sinensis, two different times. #bugsky

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Art is a conversation between human beings. We create art to connect with people, to enlighten, to bring joy or spark questions. Art crosses oceans, it bends time, it enables us to see the humanity of people with whom we share no language except the glory of making things.

The space between all things. Everything dances in #Iceland. The place where the planet smells freshly baked. If the earth doesn't knock you down with its swaying, the wind will. The only way to stay upright is through dance.

nearly all graphic novels of note are made by a comic creator with a college degree nowadays. most low income kids aren't able to attend college.

if you look real close at culture you'll see that most creators come from middle to upper middle class backgrounds. the poor are written about A LOT. but don't get no chance to speak for ourselves. obviously this creates wonky misshapen caricatures.

so many of my photos from Kowloon turned out blurry (my point n' shoot kinda does whatever it wants) but I kinda like it. Captures the feel of that whole time there really well during a strange, surreal time. I disappeared quickly into those alleyways whenever the riot police advanced.

wet market in Sham Shui Po, Kowloon, 2019. Incidentally, I was there at the same time that the 2019-2020 Hong Kong mass protests were happening. One of the most intense things I've experienced, and I've seen a lot.

no memory or context for this one. it was vaguely & ominously labeled "the red blue door.jpg" in my files. i love it.

Street photography is my chillout dilettante hobby. I appreciate the simple magic of being randomly in the right place at the right time with a simple 35mm point-n-shoot.

I always get bummed out by how hard it is to really show off the detail in my paintings because they're so big that photographing them must be done from a distance, as well as lossy compression when uploading. I was able to visit this piece the other day and took some close-up detail shots:

This is one of the biggest paintings I've ever made, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘶𝘴𝘵. It's almost 6 ft tall & wide! A tiny bit of Irving Norman inspiration in there.

Gotta post more of my oil paintings on here! Here's Peacekeeper. This piece is massive, just under 6 feet tall & 4 feet wide. The title and part of the imagery was inspired by a haunting photograph of the LGM-118 Peacekeeper MIRV missile system being tested.

Disgregation. Oil on canvas. 48 x 60”. This was the first painting I ever made where I finally felt like I'd created something genuinely good, after roughly 14 or 15 years of oil painting. Many people have asked to buy it, but I can't bear to let this one go.

Autolysis. Oil on canvas. 60 x 40". I am very relieved it survived a major wildfire last year. I've always been proud of this one as it's the only time I've been lucky enough to witness a piece of mine making a total stranger cry in the gallery.

Carved from wood, this 16th-century figure shows a corpse inside a coffin. The body is decaying and worms are spilling from the stomach. The coffin is a memento mori, an object that reminds the viewer of the shortness of human life & the inevitability of death.
