Flaunt It While You Can!

Aside from these art things, I spent another stint in the hospital. I hadn't even unpacked from my trip to San Juan and it was clear I needed to be put on oxygen. Those tubes smell awful by the way!

So It Goes: Chemo, Art, Hospice, Art

I don't even know where to begin. Much like Jimmy Carter, I seem to be thriving in hospice. Although I am filled with fluid again and awaiting a time when it is safe to drain. Aside from that I feel fine, minus the tumors pushing out from my rib cage thanks to fluid, and growth.…

New Art: My Coral Period

These paintings are all oil on linen ranging from 18x18 to 24x24 inches. I'm working on more right now, and two have already been collected. I adore the still life paintings of the Dutch Golden Age, so this was my biomorphic weird version of imaginary tablescapes. Left to right titles: Hypno Harvest, Picnic, Reunion, Preparations,…

Farewell Society6, We Deserve Better

I joined Society6 in 2009 as my main print-on-demand service for art prints that are open-editions and fun stuff like phone cases. Then, they began expanding their products into some odd stuff. The percentage they took was a bit steep, but I figured it meant no inventory on my end. Then they began charging artists…

From Chemo to Hospice

And while I feel so much better since I was tapped like a keg of beer, there's nothing left to try. We've done it all.

How Fast Your Cancer Treatment Can Change.

This week will be a major test for me as to how bad my decline shifts. I have had a few rounds of awful chemotherapy the likes I'd never thought I would have to endure. I was able to make it to my own arty party, but had to cancel on panels and other events.…

A Museum Talk and Art Against Cancer!

I'm thrilled to say that I have a few arty farty events coming up in Cleveland. First, I'll be on a panel discussion at the Cleveland Museum of Art where we discuss the future of art in the new digital landscape. This is a ticketed event at $30, but hey, if you'd like to know…

Estate Planning Advice for Artists, from an Artist with Cancer

I was given months to live, and I had to make arrangements -- fast. No one could tell me how much time I had, but I felt awful, and we were in the height of the pandemic. I had already made a Will years before due to my ongoing health problems since my first cancer…

My Beautiful Skull

For a group exhibition called "Braincase" I did something a little different. I painted this skull in oils, and it is titled "Hard Rain". Isn't it cute? We were each given a plaster skull and told to go wild. Visit Revolution Art Gallery for more information. The opening is Friday, June 30th and my man…
