Title: "Tranquility" In the tranquility of my dreams I see the ruins of my ages past. Recreation of earlier piece for high resolution at a larger size. #art #artist #notai #surrealart #digitalart #blueskyartshow #desertart #dreamscape #ruins

Martyr Do you see what God did to us, his mad modern martyrs, His desperate sons of a distant father When courage returned bankrupt And the blind earth received my blood I am courageous for myself. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry #god #martyr

I daydream, I let my mind wander. Love, I'm fond of a ponder. I wrestle with lies, with truth in disguise Then I look in your eyes and I sonder. #art #artist #notai #surrealism #surrealist #surrealistart #modernart #dreamscape #digitalart #desertart #daydream #blueskypoetry #limerick

If your revolution don't dance, I don't want it. If your revolution don't swoon and soar and dive and twirl, I don't want it. #art #artist #notai #surrealism #surrealist #surrealistart #modernart #dreamscape #digitalart #blueskyartshow #weirdart

Attended the local #artmuseum downtown last night. It was interesting to experience the difference between art as capitalist commodity in a gallery and art as a public good, with the space to truly engage with it. There is a power in the latter. #supportyourlocalartmuseum

Is all the world now Babel brick and pane and vain names of progress curbs retaining wind and glass to trick the eye and light enlightened striving ever reaching towers lurching upward to illusive perfection Hubris! Pierce heaven, usurp the name of god!

Did you close the door behind you? Did the stars give you your name? When your finger reached out and plucked, Did your eye tremble at the sound? Plumed in hope cacophony may save society. Will you till your weary fears? #poetry #poem #surrealism #sonnet #surrealist #poetrycommunity #blueskypoetry

Can you feel it? Building, pulsing, surging as the ships of revelry ready to sail the desert night. The relentless party throb never subsides, but now it grows. Everything that can happen tonight will. #burningman #playa #art #digitalart #notai #artist

Inspired by the time two of me best friends and I went tornado chasing out in #TornadoAlley for eight days. We never caught one, but the exhilaration of the chase and the awe-inspiring scale of the storm systems moving across the plains will stick with me for the rest of my life. #tornadochasing

Mirage Does water remember the start of the universe, the blast of diffusion, being mountains and canyons of glaciers? Does water remember its movements inside your body, cleaning, slurping, pissing? Does water remember flowing between the fractures of my brain? Does water remember my memories?

There is a clarity in the desert, a stripping away of the noise in the endless dreamscape of the land, a surreal stage for the freedom of strange shapes... #art #digitalart #pyramid #desertart #desertlandscape #dreamscape #sereneart #calmart #bohohome #notai

Don't give your thoughts to the thinking box. Don't give your mind to the mind machine. Don't give your soul to the imitator. Don't give your words to the word eater. #poetry #poem #antiai #art #digitalart #dontgiveyourmindtothemindmachine

The Hunt of Time. The steps of hunt and dance reflect each other in the sky Graceful movement, pursuit and expression I close my eyes knowing enough may never be enough. #art #digitalart #surrealism #surrealart #desertart #desertlandscape #dreamscape

You've been here before, this moment, a thousand times over. Expanding and contracting with all that is you greet your self as you pass by. Hallucinate. It's good for the soul. #art #digitalart #psychedelia #psychedelicart #goodforthesoul

The path to righteousness may be straight and narrow, but the path to enlightenment gently winds over many lifetimes (and is way more scenic). #art #digitalart #enlightenment #followthepath #surrealism #surreal

What a gift to be seen in another's dreams, to be held in the hospitality of their unconscious, to be threaded together in their mind's eye. #dreams #art #digitalart #surreal #surrealism #humbled

I'm sorry I want you I need you close but my obsessions pull me away in a cage that frays my mind and guides my blind side into strange stray sights of the hope of fulfillment #art #digitalart #poetry #poem #surreal #surrealism
