The Idea Box Journal

Visual studies for a story I’m in the process of writing…

The first piece painted a few months ago I titled Soothing the Rainbow Beast. Since then these character had stuck with me so I painted them a few more times, leaping in The Great Escape, and ultimately growing up together in The Rainbow Throne.

Currently the first is available as a print

Sketches for the Rainbow Beast. More about my process at Patreon.

I wrote a short think piece on why Joker matters right now. If you’re interested in cinema as a cultural mirror you can read it on Patreon or Medium 🧐

Figure studies (with a touch of female ferocity)

For gifts this past holiday season I thought it would be fun to paint a small collection of objects for the home. These include several wooden boxes, a rocket, and a clock ❤️🌟 In the future I’ll share my process on Patreon for these and other gift ideas you can make yourself.

Excited to share that the new collaboration is now installed! Many of you may recall my enthusiasm for the sculptures of Christopher Frost. It occurred to me that my birds and his Colony series could be a nice fit together. He was generously open to the idea.🌟

The series of mini houses are along the Minuteman Bike Path in the Cambridge are. This one featuring my bird Civitas is by Lake St in Arlington, MA. Drop by if you’re in the area.🏡
