In 2014 Inventory Press invited me to make a Public Collectors book. This was before my self-publishing rampage hit full force. The result was this beautiful 224 page tome that is long out of print. I have some final copies they gave me to sell, available for $25: halfletterpress.com/public-colle...

That book is so fantastic.

Thank you to everyone who attended my “Carry On” exhibition, and specifically to Doug Burns from Souvenir Arts for making it all possible. Over $550 has been donated to Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition from proceeds. #art #pdx

Enjoy it. I’m a bit jealous, but you deserve it!

Hearing the first track = instant deep down happiness. Great album.

every minute of the day until one dies,

is the worst part of oneself.”

This is one of my favorite electronic ambient albums. I must have listened to it 1000 times. Yeah, it really is a pity about the price.

Oh yes. I will be reading this.

I have a solo exhibition opening on March 7th - details here: www.instagram.com/p/DVG6dwsCWy... #art

"We have a need for an enlightened, watchful articulate opposition. We have no need for semi-secret societies who are absolutist, dictatorial and would substitute for a rule of law and reason an indiscriminate assault on the institutions that must be held sacrosanct."

Reading “Native Son” for the first time was quite an education. It has remained with me ever since.

How Richard Wright Shaped John Wilson’s Protest Art Wilson, like Wright before him, wrestled with the psychic toll of racial violence on Black families in his paintings and lithographs.

With “Native Son,” Richard Wright ignited a fire in American literature. One of the most influential writers of the 20th century, he inspired many, including the artist John Wilson, who would go on to use Wright’s words in his prints and paintings.

This is a really fantastic bit of writing. It could be applicable to any art form. #art
