Gallery of Contemporary Art (2003-2025). Various media; mostly mouse-drawn digital images; new ones at the top. SOME OF THESE MIGHT NOT BE SAFE FOR WORK OR KIDS, AND MIGHT BE TAKEN AS OFFENSIVE (language and nudity, mostly, but nothing that bad...just not G-rated).

Zugzwang (2002, some re-working in 2009 and 2014). Interactive text, Javascript, Photoshop. Click the image to generate a random absurdist sentence. "Zugzwang" means a forced move in chess.

Scanned-in Drawings (1994-2014). Pen and pencil on paper, colorization and cleanup in Photoshop.

Ask the Box (2006-2007). Public participation, html. A web-based "Dear Abbey" (no longer accepting questions). The photo is from perhaps the best submission, halfway down the page: "What does a carrot stuck through the middle of a potato look like after 1 month of hanging in the back window of your car?"

Exquisite Corpse Generator (2001-2003). Public participation, Photoshop, html. People were asked to choose body parts from a set to assemble their own exquisite corpse. This project is kind of art school'ish, in that it seems like an assignment (which it was). It would have been truer to form if each "corpse" had been designed by a few different people; the original idea, in France in such-and-such a year (chase the link above if you're curious), was either a textual, image-based, or combined image-text version of the "Mad Libs" game.

The Stupendous Chrissy Parker Project (2005). Public participation, html, Photoshop. A fake dating service profile draws in love letters from across the United States. The girl is a person known to me who was in on the project and who authorized the use of her teenaged photos.

Guitar-to-Trumpet Theory Chart (2005). Photoshop. A graphical beginner's guide to playing the trumpet intended for guitar players with some music theory background.

Monochrome Macintosh Art (1986-1991). Mouse-drawn "pixel art" in Superpaint. Made on my beige toaster Mac (a 512k Mac, then a Mac Plus, and possible later a Mac SE; not one of these entities had more than 4 megabytes of RAM) when I was age 10-15.

Bugchart (2004). HTML, genius.

WARHAWK (2010). Wood blocks, stickers of appropriated WW2 fighter plane nose art.

The Caterpillar and the Horse (2007). Maya. Three dimensional generated images. This document includes a fair amount of commentary.

My First Oil Painting (2007). Oil on canvas. More writing to be found here. This was a commission, but a rather loose one -- I think the instructions were to illustrate "togetherness," and then to use purple. I'm not sure if I entirely succeeded in fulfilling the second part of the commission; there were some complaints and they might have been justified. What has happened to abstract painting in the last 65 years is...interesting. It started out being revolutionary, but now, if you do a Google image search for "corporate art," you'll see all, 100%, abstract work. Abstraction is the new "muzak" of the art world -- recognizable subjects are by their nature cultural references, and therefore political in nature. The only way to avoid offending someone is to make public art abstract. A realistic drawing of a dog is now more controversial than blobs and smears and shapes and lines on a canvas.

Kantian iPhone Metanarrative (2025). A selection of photos from my iPhone library that satisfy the demands of postmodernistic meta-narrative as well as those of "classical" Kantian aesthetics. In other words, they "say" something contemporary art'ish (juxtaposing the artificial with the natural and/or text with image, suggesting sociopolitics, etc) but still look nice as photos (in my opinion).

This Idea Is Rather Natural (2011). Unprocessed photography, of my MFA final art show at the ArtLAB gallery at the University of Western Ontario, 201 (drawing, sound, animation, and installation).

Railroad Tracks (2009). Unprocessed photography. I don't live there anymore, but these tracks used to be right by my house.

Pacific Northwest, Part I (2006). Unprocessed photography on vacation.

Pacific Northwest, Part II (2007). Unprocessed photography. Another vacation.

Chicken Basket (2007). Unprocessed photography. A fast food delivery restaurant that's now gone out of business.

Gaithersburg (2005). Unprocessed photography. One house in Gaithersburg, at Christmas time. The people featured are long-time friends visiting their hometown for the holidays.
