my work was briefly mentioned in the cynic relative to the "Art of Horror" exhibition

The link to the article is below. "Vermont pastoral landscapes"..... ha.

new painting called "reality doesn't matter when thoughts are pleasant" and higher quality images of "fall mourning"

Below is the product of attempting to teach myself how to paint over the course of the past month alongside higher quality images of the last serious pen and ink piece I created. Due to the seemingly more versatile and powerful nature of paint, I am quite captivated and intend to continue with it for the foreseeable future. The mode in which architecture and angles are rendered, however, feels quite unnatural to me relative to the ease of pen drawn spatial features, and I'm being led more toward compositions emphasizing the figure and organic forms. Regarding the conceptual basis of  "reality doesn't matter when your thoughts are pleasant", modes of escapism, such as drugs, literature, video games, pleasant thoughts, etc., are almost  vilified through the necrotic/decaying quality of the foreground character and his setting contrasted with the expression on his face. The piece will be part of a triptych the second member of which I am currently working on. As always, thanks for the support and don't hesitate to contact me with any inquires.
