still rebellious

Worth Your While

The struggle of every artist worth the time you spend standing, looking at the wall:

There is simply too much I want to convey in my work. My desire for a better, more just world. Infinite curiosity. A childlike wonder sheathed in the veneer of an adult’s sophistication and cynicism. Pure awe at the majesty and science of the Earth and the universe. A restless thirst for adventure. The integral connection between humanity and every other lifeform on this planet.

I wish I could boil down that feeling of fear and awe—that feeling of being so incredibly minuscule in the midst of this vast, unknowable universe. The suffocating, terrifying wonder of a body trying to comprehend the incomprehensible.

I wish I could remind my adult viewers of the reckless, fearless curiosity they once had.

Get Money out of Politics.

Being socially conscious, one can’t help but notice that political campaign donations seem to hold more sway over politicians than the wishes of their constituents. I volunteer with the group Wolf-PAC, which has the long-term goal of getting a Constitutional amendment ending the private financing of elections. Click below for more information.
