AJS: An Innocent Symbol
New works in a
continuing attempt to help cleanse the public conscious of the current negative
connotations behind the ancient symbol known as the swastika. Pieces debuted
at Superchief Gallery
(Manhattan, NY), March 2013, and were last exhibited in Santiago, Chile, Jan
of 2015 (at Kasa
Ecolety).
Read much more here.
Discipline
Pieces from the
art series, Discipline: Sex Lives of the Primitives, which are all-natural
sex toys, were last on display during March, 2014, in Brooklyn.
Read more about that here.
Kiss Me, John (aka) John Waters' Moustache
Presented to director
John Waters, for his south Florida performance of This Filthy World,
July 28th, 2012.
It is a 5 ft, polyester moustache, formed out of 600 broom bristles on a 6 ft
x 1.5 ft pink canvas, titled Kiss Me, John, and created, with the same
response in mind, as most would have to a Waters' film: partial disgust, while
equally giving you the giggles.
The piece is now owned and archived by the Waters' estate.

A Catastrophe Upon Delivery
In October of 2012, I created the mail art project, A Catastrophe Upon Delivery.
It
was free to anyone, and all one had to do was reach out.

An older, yet continuing, project using discarded religious items I've found throughout my life.

Dada Poems
The
original and unique piece, titled Dada Poems, on an experiment I did
with the Dada poetry technique was finished last year.
One was able to download a zip file of the entire work, including photos, poem
scans and the complete written pieces, but it is unavailable, as the article
is currently in issue #3 of Abraxas:
International Journal of Esoteric Studies.

A
smaller, all-paper version was limited to five copies, and contained the six
page article, including a transcript of the poems, and the forward by Dr. Vanessa
Sinclair, Psy.D.
Each came with a distinctively drawn sigil inside, and the written works were
printed on two types of paper, bound by a black bow, though no images were made
available.
An edited version of the article, titled Do Me Dada Style, is available
in the third edition of Abraxas,
minus the original images or Dr. Sinclair's forward.
The Tarot
This one was just for local friends, but you can check it out here.
Tattoo Nightmare
I had a unique art piece (in the sense it's a type of work I don't normally do) sell at a charity auction.

It was in NJ for
Big Brothers / Big Sisters, and titled Tattoo Nightmare. Feel free to

Time donated has as much worth as money donated. Do whatever you can, when you
can, but please do something.
