The promised print drop is here! It's been over a year since I released a print, so this birthday month, I'm offering the complete 𝘼𝙚𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙤𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙨 diptych as limited open edition prints.

My first art book, 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙘 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙪𝙢, collects ten years of Alien Botany® - a long-form concept art series examining states of divergence, surrender, and equilibrium through the eyes of a lifelong immigrant. Space delirium and flesh entwine with strange alien flora to examine what it means to survive against impossible odds.

It's been a while since I've written at any significant length, but that's changing. Here is a post about my strange experience of coming back to the US after almost two years abroad and learning all sorts of remarkable lessons.

The text is accompanied by photos I shot last week during a road trip from Northern California to Colorado and back.

Until the Future,
