Additional Information:
This part of my "breaking the landscape" theme that I developed in West Texas. In the west Texas desert everything is in a state of rusted purgatory set against the red and gray desert landscape. As I drove across the landscape I knew I had to find away to make a pop of color break the monotony of it all. I came home and developed my first of these type "light boxes" or "monoliths" as I call them and set about getting into a gallery in Marfa, TX. Since then I've sent all kinds of types like this to the desert and was recently in the Coconut Grove Festival were I was able to place a design on an estate there.

About the Artist:

My art, for me, started out as a not so serious past time and has since blossomed into a multi-faceted beast that requires reigning in. Once you see everything as art it becomes increasingly difficult to focus on one genre or any specific art style. It takes sheer focus and discipline to stay focused on art that is within my current capabilities and to not get lost in a differing dimension of what is my reality. Put simply, any good artist is also an interior designer, clothing designer, architect, filmmaker, or any other various artistical routes. If I had 500 years on this earth, I would find the time to be all these things and explore all the various artistic routes available to me, but being as I'm only guaranteed today, I have to find what I am reasonably capable of doing with the estimated time I have. For me as an artist, I have to be in touch with my mortality and do my best to make my art immortal, if only in a sense.
