Eight naked men, in alphabetical order in my bed.  As I finalize the last remaining shoots for the bedroom series in Portland and gear up for my next grand adventure this summer I thought I'd revisit some of the previous shoots with a few outtakes. Enjoy

 THE following pieces represent casual play and digital manipulation. created in an almost meditative automatic writing (in this case editing) sort of practice. The works are playful in their addressing of our urbanoia and anxiety, our isolation and our manipulation of our own emotions in a digital landscape.

the start of a new series of old school cut out manipulations. Mostly for fun but they have their own charm.

A second piece from Objectified Obscura. It's been a crazy busy few weeks so more to come.

 Actor and model Samson makes my job easy.  Here's some on the fly shots we did for a recent shoot, American Dreamer. Enjoy.

 Brand New Retro is a series that blends my love of retro beefcake mags of the 1950's and 1960's with their eroticized masculinity and kitchy California ease and the more evocative plays of darkness and light more associated with my surrealist-horror work like Devils.  I like for the uncanny and the erotic to blur lines, they (hopefully) then subvert their sense of ideological marker and lead the viewer somewhere richer.

The limited series is  sensual, over-processed, and yet austerer and simplistic.

Here again working with model and actor Samson to evoke a half remembered dream of a pin-up star.

After a brief break/holiday escape to Hawaii to recharge my creative battery,  I am launching my first new series of 2015 Objectified Obscura.  Here's Samson in the first preview pic,  enjoy.

Following my recent participation in LOUD TATE:CODE and subsequent exhibition at the Tate in London my interest in glitch-based work grew and led me to revisit previous shoots and concepts from my Multiples series and approach them with a new eye. Images culled from various shoots, many never before seen are here distressed, glitched, damaged and reformed as technicolor shrapnel.
