Nefertiti Delux, a Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh Supreme. This was
sitting on my bench for weeks as I repainted the enclosure 3 times. It
was originally going to be themed after
Isabella Rossellini’s character in Death Becomes Her but I didn’t like
the way it turned out two times and settled on this.
Page from The Equine Comedy featuring the 2014 origins of what would become the brothers Romulus and Remus in The God Labs
I dumped all the images of my work I thought I might use in The
Equine Comedy into one folder. Currently it is over 800 images, spanning
2010 to 2020. I’m laying out 8-9 images a page then planning to use the
kindle guided view thing so you can go image by image or page by page.
It has to be under 300megs so I was shooting for 100 pages or so,
including introductions and descriptions and stuff.
It occurred to me that I could do The Equine Comedy, a name my friend
suggested if I ever published a book of my work in general. So I
started working on that, it’ll probably cover about 12 years. I just
finished the section on 2010, the end of school and going on to making
art in the wild. I’m writing some synopses and introductions and
thoughts and reflections and such, a retrospective but also publishing a
lot of stuff for the first time. It felt like time to do it, just to
make some kind of record of what I’ve been doing all this time.
