3,000-Year-Old Moss

“On the fateful morning of November 9, 1971, John List’s religious fanaticism and dire financial straits reached a tipping point. He decided to go through with the plan to kill his entire family to “save them” from eternal damnation.” [Source] The most chilling part of this case is that John left his family’s corpses in 3,000-Year-Old Moss

The Scorpion’s Song

“We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances, we are by ourselves.  The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone.  Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain.  By its very nature every The Scorpion’s Song

June 2025 Change Log

There is something oddly satisfying about creating and running a website. I used to do freelance web development before I went back to college to finish up my computer science degree.

Back in high school, I had an unusually dedicated art teacher who was also an exhibiting artist. He didn’t just teach us how to create gallery-worthy artwork The Conjuration of Fire Process

Kowloon Walled City

I’ve been wanting to incorporate urban and brutalist elements into my paintings, so I’ve been learning how to draw buildings and machinery. Kowloon Walled City is especially fascinating—the photos I’ve seen look like something straight out of (the original) Ghost in the Shell. Imagine how claustrophobic it must have felt in those alleyway corridors—probably humid, Kowloon Walled City

De Soto De Sun Process

A couple of years ago, someone asked me to paint over a circular painting of a cat inside a crochet hoop. The final product looked like shit so I decided to paint over it again. The final piece looks great above the sealed fireplace mantel in my apartment—it really ties the room together. “De Soto De Soto De Sun Process
