Like parlor, get it?

The sitting room of Our Lady of Marsupials Parish. A glass of champagne, anyone?

"The Warden and the Verger oversee Preparations for the Love Feast," mixed media on paper, 2025.

#blueskycollage #collage #art #feast
An enormous table, I mean absolutely huge, is set with a bedazzling spread of various foods -- pizzas sandwiches, pepis, fruits, fish, even tofu. Two marsupial churchwardens over see the event.

"Cut flowers in empty space (no. 14)," mixed media on paper, 2025.

I visited a friend in Vienna for his 40th birthday this past summer. I stayed at a hotel with pastries at breakfast. I still wake up craving the "plunder." This is what they taste like. #collage #art #flowers #dreamy

"Do you think the emptiness of the sky will ever crumble away?" mixed media on paper, 2025.

The first in a series of three inspired by Jack Kerouac's "Scripture of the Golden Eternity."

A pastiche of canadian cities which are crumbling away. Behind them, the open, uninterrupted, permanent, indestructible sky.

"The Emanation Room," mixed media on paper, 2025.

#art #fineart #collage #mixedmedia #analogcollage #blueskycollage #canadianartists #vancouverartist #canadianart #queerartist #outsiderart #visionaryart
A view of the Emanation Room in the long lost Our Lady of Marsupials Parish. It symbolically reveals the emanation of the universe and the emergence of diversity from a single source. There is a chapel, full of symbolic objects. A large crystal refracts heavenly beams of light in all directions.

This is a memory of a profound, fleeting experience of liberation.

An old, historic town of eclectic architecture, in the center, a gate is open, above this, the creation of a new universe by two celestial marsupials.

"The Apparition," mixed media on paper, 2025. #art #fineart #collage #analogcollage #blueskycollage #canadianartist #queerart #outsiderart #marsupials #visionaryart #virginiaopossum #mixedmedia
In the background, an abandoned religious structure has been made into a barn. Something spectacular has happened here, and a majestic apparition of a heavenly opossum, crowned with glory and robed in splendor is the the focus of the image.

"Cut flowers in empty space (no. 11)," mixed media on paper, 2025.

This one is influenced by memory. It is some kind of vague impression of the foyer of the house my mother's parents lived in when I was growing up.

#fineart #analogcollage #blueskycollage #canadianartist #queerart #outsiderart
A painting, a dresser, red, satin, ribbon, dogwoods, and a vessel.

A variety of found papers, fashioned together in the form of a charm. A lemon pig and a lucky rabbits foot, just to be safe.

Happy Halloween! Here is my take on the classic Scottish Halloween ballad, "Tam Lin."

Mixed Media on paper, 2025.

#art #fineart #collage #analogcollage #blueskycollage #canadianartist #queerart #outsiderart #folkart #tamlin #childballads
The transformation scene of the traditional Scottish ballad "Tam Lin." It features a man who is transformed into a lion, a bear, a snake, and other symbols and icons from the song.

This is like an angry letter that I didn't send.

"The Sacrifice," mixed media on cardboard, 2025.

#art #fineart #collage #mixedmedia #analogcollage #blueskycollage #canadianartists #vancouverartist #canadianart #queerartist #outsiderart
In the background, a bucolic, pastoral scene. An ancient altar with four columns is in the foreground, it is covered in fruits and flowers and candles. A sacrifice has been prepared and is about to be offered.

"New Horizons (Sam the Beachcomber)," mixed media on cardboard, 2025. Now on display in "Dreamscapes" at Clayton Community Centre, Surrey, BC. #art #fineart #collage #mixedmedia #analogcollage #blueskycollage #canadianartists #britishcolumbia #canada #canadianart #queerartist #outsiderart
In the background, the ocean, the setting sun, and mountains, perhaps an island in the distance. In the foreground, a sandy beach with many footprints, on top of a dune is some kind of marsupial, a bandicoot I think? Behind him is a pile of trash, cardboard boxes, a hamburger, cacti, a rose, a bottle of tylenol, spilled milk, and a lunchable. He's shed a tear because of all the onions.

Waves, waves, waves, still and moving. A portal opens, to a couch, a television, shorts, cans, condos, towels, toys, and my swimming trunks.

The aftermath -- bottles, napkins, a vase, the couch, a slipper, and a lampshade. Irises, roses, and pansies litter the floor.
