I stand by what I said… #TriggerWarnings

When it comes to landscape photography, I’m probably best known for my large metal prints. At Joseph Miguel Art Gallery, though, I also offer a wide range of framing options, along with acrylic, giclée, and canvas prints…

She half turns back toward me. She says, “George… George Kittle.” I look at the guy. The guy looks at me. He goes, “Yeah, I can see it!” I say, “I don’t know who that is… wait, a football player?” She just nods, then walks out the door. The End

Stroll into a more-or-less desolate coffeehouse for an iced chai latte. A lone woman waits at the counter. Her back is to me. Another guy walks in and stands behind me. She gets her coffee, turns to leave, walks past me… then suddenly stops in her tracks…

The cover design is also my own, created from an original painting on canvas that has since found its forever home. If you’re drawn to art, philosophy, and work that isn’t afraid to challenge you, this book may belong on your shelf. Grab your copy today.

Every page is uniquely designed to create a reading experience that refuses to play by the rules. There’s a good chance something inside these pages will offend someone. Fortunately, I’ve never been too concerned with that…

In case you’ve been living under a rock… #ABodyMadeofShadows has officially been published. This is a raw, unfiltered work of non-fiction. A slow unraveling of an artist’s mind through philosophy, poetry, and more than 30 hand-drawn sketches…

It’s based on a female model, and I think that quiet contradiction is part of what has made the painting so intriguing over the years. Everyone seems to see someone different. It still hangs on my hallway wall. Its title is Who Are You? Painted in June, 2018.

This is the first “faceless face” painting I ever created. Painted entirely in oils, this piece unlocked something in me. It felt as though I’d stumbled into a strange portal of creativity that I’ve never quite left. Most people assume it’s the portrait of a man. It isn’t…

#ABodyMadeofShadows has arrived. Nab your copy today.

There’s something different about creating something from nothing. The long hours. The doubt. The obsession. The quiet agony. It all becomes worth it the moment you can hold the finished work in your hands and realize an idea has become something real…

The world you see is just a movie in your mind. Rocks dont see it. Bless and sit down. Forgive and forget. Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you’re already in heaven now. That’s the story. That’s the message. Nobody understands it, nobody listens, they’re all running around like chickens with heads cut off. I will try to teach it but it will be in vain, s’why I’ll end up in a shack praying and being cool and singing by my woodstove making pancakes. ~ Jack Kerouac
