The body of a guitar pictured from above, the wood is partially unfinished. There are six distinct stripes of abstract patterns with a blue palette, near where the neck would be attached is a pattern of teal circles and mauve triangles, 

a dark blue line separates the adjacent pattern, which has an almost seafoam colored base with dark blue squares outlined in yellow forming an almost checker board pattern, next is a stripe of unfinished wood where the fret board would be attached

Next are two patterns both containing triangles and  separated by a dark blue stripe. The triangles of the first one face alternate directions and have alternating blue and yellow outlines on a bright blue background with dark blue tentacle-like shapes flowing between them. 

The second pattern is repeated at the bottom of the guitar as well and consists of bright blue triangles with dark blue outlines and a lighter blue circle inside of them all on a purple background. The triangles all point in the same direction on each stripe, but the direction is switched. 

In between those triangles is a distinct pattern with stripes of unfinished wood on each side, one narrow, one broad. This pattern consists of blue blobs.

I haven't shared this here yet. This commission from a couple of years ago was for an "into the blue' theme on the guitar.

The unfinished wood might be painted robin egg blue when it's done, but my part is over. I'd love to do this or something similar again

She definitely did some pattern work with shapes and colors too, I only say that I did "most" because it reached a point where she was just doing cooler detail work every time we swapped so I could play around with the bigger pattern

It was a pretty close collaboration while hanging out, so there was a ton of swapping back and forth. I did the ballpoint figure drawing near the top as well as most of the color, shape, and geometric pattern stuff which she turned into vague melting faces, monsters, and organic imagery w/ black ink

This piece that I did with the artist Vegetable Dad a number of years ago deserves its own post. One of my favorite collabs that I've been a part of, and I'd love to work with any artist who wants to collaborate on something similar or completely different

wow, thank you. I love both of their work and wish I was that good. Here's a collaborative piece that I did w/ a very talented artist (Vegetable Dad) a few years ago that is kind of Boschian due to her skills/style. I'm really hoping to do more collabs like this w/other artists in the near future

(3) quality and has a rich finish. For the most part, though, I harvest the wood from pieces of furniture that people are throwing away, which often leads to more interesting results due to the unpredictability of the surface and the variability in type and quality of the wood and finish

(2) acrylic and oil-based paint markers, but also ink pens and markers. Other pieces will have 3D fabric paint or spray paint.

The wood for this piece is part of a series from an old cabinet stereo w/ turntable that my Great Uncle owned, so since it's an older piece of furniture the wood is higher

(1/3) Thank you! There are definite maximalist elements, but much of the abstraction I'm doing is more of a chaotic counterpoint to what's known as visionary art. I think it's all part of a bigger neo psychedelic movement, but as an outsider artist I'm probably getting the terms wrong. I used mostly

I'm giving up on my dreams of being a librarian or selling artwork to focus full-time on my Shakespeare's Twelfth Fast Twelfth Furious screenplay. Currently seeking investors. Contact for pitch.

I would never accuse the Iraqi Army of being well trained or using a lot of restraint. And yet in Mosul I came to expect more discretion from the average Iraqi soldier than U.S. cops who have never taken incoming fire.
