A Starry Night.

Black Friday.

Colossal Sized Picassos.

Home.

Is everything, really.
Is temporary, apparently.

My Passport Came Today.

And I've spent it listening to John Coltrane and Lester Young.
Fall appears to be over. And it shall be missed.

Missing!

One of my paintings I had recently completed for good friends Lee and Matt was stolen during transport this past week while being transported from Chicago, IL to their new home in Phoneix, AZ. It is the only thing missing from the move and while I am sad to hear it is gone, I think it's kind of badass someone would actually want to steal a painting that I made.

Silent Film.

because actions speak louder than words.




"CITY is a silent film with background noise. The idea behind the film is the concept of silence in the 21st century. In a city like Chicago, is there ever really silence? At 3am when you are trying to sleep - there is a siren, road noise, drunken jabber, or teenage drama just 3 stories below. Not to mention a dog or heaven forbid, you live near a set of train tracks. CITY is an abstract commentary on the concept of silence in the modern age, and what a silent film really is. Is it a film to be seen in complete silence? Or is it merely an idea which needs no specific audio backing track to support its statement. That, my friend, is CITY.
