LETTER TO HIROMI

acrylic and glue on cardboard

12" X 17" $225

Memorial to Hiromi Niizeki, an artist who made art out
of junk mail envelopes and discards of every kind.
I have used envelope windows
and food packaging in her honor.

LETTER was selected for inclusion in the
Arts Gowanus Environmental and Climate Justice
online exhibit, curated by environmental artist, Tracy Penn.

15% of all sales from the show will be donated
to the NAACP Environmental and Climate Justice
Program.

-----------------------------------------------

"I repurpose found objects such as used clothes, junk
mail, discarded gum on the street as art supplies. Most
recently, I have started to use the tools and processes
that I have developed to consciously work with tumors
since my diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer. The tumors
have become another art material in my life. I'm not
fighting against the tumors; I am relating to them as a
radical act in life of acceptance and creativity."

magic suit raw

mini godzilla: magic 200 pound rubber suit

"Inside the Godzilla suit, it was very dark, lonely, and isolated.
Usually the person who wears the suit becomes nervous and
anxious. During summertime it’s very hot, it can become hell in
there. But Mr. Nakajima always persevered. He acted in the suit
underwater, he was buried underground, he withstood pyrotechnic
explosions… and through it all he was always Godzilla."

On the subject of market forces:
An ad I created using a popular image was rejected
because of PROFANITY.

So I did a clean version where
SHIT MONKEY is now SIT MONKEY
and now I need to make some paintings with that phrase.

Creative constraints are almost always helpful.

August 2020:

Muji pulp sketchbooks are the best sketchbooks.
They are the Archie Digest size
compliment to the Flirting Scholar 6 foot scrolls.

As a friend said about that digest format,
they were intimate and belonged to you in a way that even
regular comics didn't. 


In Beforetimes I would "travel" with these books and work anywhere.
As of Summer 2020, "anywhere" means my kitchen table or my work table.

I still love working in these books.
I will razor out these pages, stick them in a frame and mail them to you.

The MATH shirts: they were one off designs, so not currently available.
I am pondering a version of this as the next Custom Ink project.
Want one? Let me know.
