acrylic and pages of Dune book on canvas, 8" x 10", 2024

When my old copy of Dune started falling apart (yes, we read it that much), I knew I would incorporate it into some art. When the new Dune movies started coming out, I got the idea that when Paul Atreides takes the spice and can see all possible futures, he could also see all the cinematic versions of Dune. You can read more about this theory in the inquiry blog.

I love this view of Bernal Hill from the west. Maybe the colors in the sky are a bit of nature showing off, or maybe that’s just the vibes of the neighborhood in abstract form.

3 marker and pencil drawings on paper, drawn in real time at the show.

We arrive hours early to get seats on the hill to see the Flaming Lips at the final Stern Grove Festival concert of the year. I made these three drawings at the show to capture what it felt like to be there.

Each drawing is a standard 8” x 10” size, so will fit in many standard frames - or can be hung with a magnet on your refrigerator.
