Something I love: Doing visiting artist lectures/workshops etc. for colleges and talking to students.
Things I hate: Having to spend months begging and threatening institutions to pay the the pittance they said they would for this work.

I wrote a little about the Order of the Abundance Grace of the Cosmic Christ over on ig, and imagining a hopeful future and an anarchist christian commune of not-exactly-nuns that make up the bulk of the explorers in my book. I wish they were real.

Hey, I know we're all trying to weather an idiotic societal collapse, but do you want to preorder my new book or buy the original cover art drawing? I'm looking for another job(s?) but in the meantime I'm selling off originals to try to keep the lights on.
