Vegas has a vibrant arts district where local and traveling artists paint amazing murals. This pic comes from a series I did wherein I cut the sky out from behind the buildings and subbed in sky from elsewhere. See alt text for details. #vegas #art #artsdistrict #mural #photoshop #digital

Once, here in Vegas, a Yayoi Kusama exhibit came, culminating in a large, plain box you entered alone for 60 seconds. Inside was a sea of tiny lamps and mirrored walls. It was called Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity. This was the only photo I took. #yayoikusama #art #selfportrait #avantgarde

years ago in zion national park i took hundreds of photos and turned several into a series of imagined irradiated landscapes on unknown planets. this one I layered with a drawing of mine. #art #drawing #mountains #utah #photography #collage #digitalcollage #mixedmedia #landscape #photoshop

simple though it is, this has always been one of my favorite drawings i've done, though i'm not really sure why. i named her duo, the origin of which i also have no idea. #drawing #art #penandink #strangeling

i drew this on vintage ledger paper, christmas morning, 2am, at an IHOP. it reminds me of intestines so i call it guts. later i layered it over a photo by a girl named anna i used to collab w/ on tumblr. #drawing #penandink #art #dancer #ballerina #blackandwhite #digitalcollage #vintagepaper

jittering, the jitterbug,
stutter-shook and neon-netted,
folding into the glitch

hundreds of portraits of oneself, representing untold hours of staring staring staring into and at oneself, can easily be interpreted, i know, as sublimely narcissistic, but i've found this work instrumental in revealing myself to myself, and to you. #selfportrait #self #me #mirrors #digitalart #art

last one for today; i've been making these for over a decade with nowhere to share, hence the deluge. my encounters with theft in the past and ai scraping in the now forced me underground but that sure is a lonesome way to live as an artist so here we are #selfportrait #self #art #digitalphotography

emerging artist v 1 & 2. i wish i could tell you who did the watercolor in v 1 but i found it in the nascent days of etsy and she disappeared before i could ask if she minded. v 2 utilized a free gasoline texture i manipulated. #selfportrait #self #art #digitalphotography #digitalcollage #photoshop

i saw a photo of fiona apple (tinyurl.com/2nfvkd6c) years ago and was struck by her hair snatched up in the wind so i cropped it, kaleidoscoped it, and turned it into something of a spooky rorschach #fionaapple #digitalart #art #kaleidoscope #blackandwhite #rorschach #rorschachtest #photoshop

on sleepless nights i liked to take smeary snaps of movies i love (here: my own private idaho) via tinkering with settings then dancing and jerking the camera as i shot #lightpainting #digitalphotography #canonrebel #myownprivateidaho #riverphoenix #keanureeves #gusvansant #abstract #art

an old light painting photo of the faux eiffel tower in vegas done via a canon rebel. lightly edited in photoshop to intensify the colors but otherwise untouched. #lightpainting #digitalphotography #canonrebel #vegas #abstract

an old self portrait manipulated in photoshop. i call it headache because this is how a headache feels. #selfportrait #drawing #art #photoshop

a very old collage i made that i love the look of but wish the words could be hieroglyphs with no translation; they are a dark night of the soul portrait of someone long dead who ought to be left to rest #mixedmedia #collage #collageart #art

someone said this would make a great album cover except i never learned (yet) how to make music and i wouldn't want this as an album cover even if i did #selfportrait #art #digitalart #photoshop
