FAQ’s

How do I buy a painting? 

When a painting becomes available, I list it as a product in my website store at the very top and let people know about the new painting through my newsletter and through social media. Buying a painting is just like buying any product online. They are shipped UPS and insured for the value of the piece.

Do you have any originals available? 

If there are no originals available in my store at the moment, then I am sold out. They sell kind of quickly--which is lucky for me because this is my only job. That being said, I usually have a new piece available every 2-3 weeks.   

Are you open to commissions?

Sure, send me an email! I have done album covers, paintings for businesses, and personal projects for individual collectors.

Were you ever abducted by aliens?

Not that I know of… I have been obsessed with the unexplainable and paranormal for as long as I can remember, and this heavily influences my art. I am totally fascinated by not just aliens, but all cryptids, ghosts, magick, and psychic phenomena.  I do take a bit from modern UFOlogy, but for the most part, my work is all fantasy fiction.  

Have you seen an alien?

No, but I did see a UFO once in 2009 in Springfield, Oregon. It was egg-shaped, about the size of a car, and glowing with weird orange energy. It was totally silent and soared at about 30 mph just above the roofs of the neighborhood homes until it disappeared behind the trees. It was exciting but oddly anticlimactic. 

Have you ever done San Pedro, Ayahuasca, LSD, DMT, shrooms, etc….?

I ate mushrooms a few times in 1999 and really didn’t enjoy myself. I remember my friend turning into a werewolf, which was mega-unchill. Psychedelics really aren’t for me. These days, I am happily sober. I don’t drink or do drugs….. anymore. 

It seems like there is some sort of story going on with your work… Are you writing a book? Are all of these paintings somehow connected? What the hell is going on?

Yes! I have book now! So exciting. It’s called, “Tales from the Southwestern Bellows Vol. 1” and it is available both here and through Spire and Scribe

Can I tell you about a crazy paranormal experience that I once had?

Yes, please do! I love stories!
