Do not disturb
the tiny giants
trapped inside,
forever curious
about their nightmares.

Oil on masonite, 24 in x 18 in

A song of disappearances
skips into infinity
that can be measured
only once.

As the delicate roar
of ghosts expands geometrically,
there is an invisible hush,
like a kiss at midnight.

Oil on masonite, 18 in x 24 in

She beckons them to her.
They dance like fish in water.
Clouds of flame scatter.

Oil on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

The sun is a moon,
and it's quite clear
that everyone
is in good company,
even though they've been rearranged
into unrecognizable fantasies.

Oil on masonite, 18 in x 14 in

I saw the night split
into multitudes, breathing
heavy with desire.

Oil, acrylic, collage on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

Peculiar thrill
of tumultuous entrails,
skeletal magic.

OIl on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

Magic is a distraction,
a face wandering in the shadows,
waiting like a jellyfish,
only dreaming
of what remains
after the sweet apocalypse.

Oil on masonite, 14 in x 18 in.

Puppets are dancing
the universe, waiting for
something to happen.

Oil on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

Strange lips between legs
balancing curios.

A star is offered
to no one.

Step inside a burning sky
of obscure calculations.

There is bliss
above.

Oil on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

Think deep
as shapes form and unform.
There is an unnatural light
that unshadows obscure origins.
There is something new
and something old
in these animal rhythms.
Everything breaks.
Everything is hidden and uncovered.
Everything changes.
Curiouser and curiouser,
circles dance and sway
as gray space
stands in silence,
watching all.

Oil on masonite, 24 in x 18 in

All paths lead to nowhere
that is somewhere
waiting to be found.

Oil on masonite, 24 in x 18 in

Of shapes unknown,
tilting, nudging.
Nameless movements
in a city of nowhere,
between the dawn and the dusk.

Oil on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

Beasts curve
against the bones
of the universe,
clawing to infinity.

They can't stop
the noises outside.

Oil on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

There is no earth, no sky.
Only a flow
of primitive energy.

Some are left to wander.
Or have a story to tell.
Or are trapped
in a nightmare like no other.

Others are still deciding
what shapes they should be.

Oil on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

When the first nightfall comes,
there will be oblivion.

When the second nightfall comes,
everything will be awake.

When the third nightfall comes,
all will be revealed.

Oil on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

Seek nothing hidden,
Glance together, aghast.
Sometimes they drop in.
Not even a sphere could save them.

Oil on masonite, 14 in x 18 in

Majestic pale brick.
Strange blue shapes fill the windows.
Streetlight, empty street.

Unknown face obscured.
Shapes lurk unidentified,
Drifting, then play on.

A beautiful wreck
Of patterns splitting apart
Amid bright colors.

Hypnotic patterns

That appear, vanish.

Let them shake
their bruised bodies
shiny with wounds
under a cloudless sky.

Oil on masonite, 12” x 24”

Ephemeral dreams of stone,
a tumult of the heart,
sharp-edged, nothing more.

Even the lives of shadows
have something to say.

Acrylic and collage on canvas, 52” x 72”

The hopeless romantic
was not really hopeless,
nor was he a romantic.

In fact, he didn't really
know what he was.

So he put on his best
manic grin and stared.

Collage, oil on masonite, 20 in x 16 in

Bare rubber blossoms
don't cast shadows in the sun.
They sleep having fun.

Collage, oil on masonite, 20 in x 16 in

There are openings
to the skies
whispering their strange language
to anyone who will listen.

Collage, oil on masonite, 20 in x 16 in

Three-pronged claw
startles the red shadow
looking at the bejeweled moon
in the pink sky.

It is midnight and afternoon,
simultaneously.

Tiny pink bear climbs
a blue mountain,
wondering if he’ll ever
find home.

Fish and other things
tumble and somersault.
There is green,
but it is not earth.
There is blue,
but it is not sky.

Collage, oil on masonite, 20 in x 16 in

Tendrils shake and bend
as a snake sleeps
and nature splinters
into multitudes.
Things will grow, eventually.

Collage, oil on masonite, 20 in x 16 in

A beast woke up
and swallowed everything
in sight.

(Except for some things
trapped in yellow.
But that's not important).

Anyway, everything it swallowed
is inside it still,
bouncing and playing,
happy as they'll ever be.

Collage, oil on masonite, 16 in x 20 in

It ate its fill of pandemonium
and watched tiny things
dance around its body.

At noon, precisely,
all of us become future

They touched a magic that took away their faces. So now they ponder the faces they once had, as strange things fly about them.

Collage on iPad, 15 in x 15 in

And the race is on:
to see who can disappear
before the others.

They are the wrong shapes
at the right time. The void takes
their tattooed bodies.

What were once little
misfits are now the stuff of
mischievous nightmares.

Drawing on iPad, 18 in x 12 in

His mouth had turned into a clock, but there was nothing that could be done about it, because time was running out, and it had nowhere else to stay. The second man had a weakness for pencils (the stubby kind). And darkness swallows infinite mysteries, baffled shapes in oil slick shadows that grace high roads in the hills.

Drawing on iPad, 18 in x 12 in

Its shadows speak
for no one, and in
the heart of it beats
concrete oddities

We live in the shadows.
Not in meadows or in grottoes.
Never mind our misplaced faces,
We’ve been to interesting places.

When I’m feeling blue
I slither deep inside your shoe,

Boiling sun. Phantoms, tendrils
And sharp-edged creatures.

They found the oversized tomato on a plate in a forest clearing not far from the town.

No one could explain how it got there, or why.

Some thought the tomato was a gift. Others were not so sure.

The tomato was as hard as the plate, so no one could not cut into it. But it was definitely a tomato.

They transported the tomato to the town, and asked a local photographer to take a picture of it.

As the photographer was getting ready to take the picture in his studio, a statue of a winged angel suddenly appeared.

No one could explain how it got there, or why.

Some thought the statue was a gift. Others were not so sure.

Collage and oil on masonite, 11 in x 14 in

Into anemones

Digging for a dream
Only to find sleepless gods
Building fantasies.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

Origami dreams
Red earth versus green sky, pink
Branches like tendrils

No ordinary colors.
Vanguards of ceruleans,
Apple greens, earth browns

Black body awaits.

Simple, yellow, pink.
Floating. Around big blue debris.
Daedalian.
Chiseled from stone. Softened by time.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

Hard.
And yet, soft.
Geometrical. Angular.
Animals at play.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

Here they lurk. Some looking at nothing.
Others looking. At one another.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

It was a parade
of sorts. A mask with red lips, blue nose.
Floated above it all.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

They are waiting for something.
To happen.
In the meantime, they drift.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

Like the figures in Matisse's Dance Painting, they circled about.
In empty red space.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

Circus performers. The ringleader. Looks at the performers. And he seems to be missing. Both his legs.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

It can knock anything.  Out of its way.  Better watch out.  It might get you.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

The one with the eye.
And wearing the funny pink hat.
Believe it or not, he is.
The king.

16 in x 20 in, oil on masonite

A rat race. Colors
Hustle. Lids are flipped, bodies
Tumble. Sharp elbows.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Jigsaw hearts beat the
Orange flattop that eats the
Pink in its sharp jaws.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Upside-down visions
Of wingless birds, amorphous
dreams, slivers and curves

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Shaping things to come:
Bright yellow eye, a red nose.
And somewhere, a duck

10 in x 8 in, oil on canvas

Orange fish laughing
At the ridiculousness
Of his surroundings.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

It’s late afternoon.
Purple cat peers down to greet
Brown fish. All is well.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Soldier standing tall
Weapons at his side, pointing
At all directions.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Go disappear forth
Into that insomnolence.
Let the day take you.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Thoughts in mid-sentence.
Waiting for the train. Minutes
Roll into hours, days.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Traveling circus
Has arrived. Some beckon. A
Naked baby climbs.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Some fall and splinter.
Bird rests on back against red
Sky. Squat bodies shove.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Moving this way and
That. Bird with a green eye flips
Over. Insouciance.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

A slippery spill.
Bodies upside down, falling.
Everyone’s happy.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Pink flippers shiver.
A long face, an orange fish
Cries against blue sky.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

An eye with orange
Iris floats above creatures.
Single orange foot.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

A long beard, and an
empty face. Shouting nothing
to the emptiness.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Multicolored clown
Rests on a yellow stone while
His friends dance away.

10 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

Somewhere near and far,
Languorous in soft unknowns,
Steady, no burdens.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

You are a wonder
Walking the black earth, dressed in
Tendrils of color.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

Swivel, turn, unfold.
Illuminate the water,
and reverberate.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Orange ball hides in
Gray cone. A shield of yellow
and gold circles.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

A vibrancy of
Electric hums driving the
Symphonic colors.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

A single foot rests
On the ground, and nothing more.
An eternal feel.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Footprints scattered like
Seeds, like snowflakes. Bright blue eye.
They do not disturb.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Sensual boogie
In the catacombs. Green shade.
Hips thrust, feet wiggle.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Wet, bulbous, full of
Misplaced bones and tendrils that
Shove, illuminate.

Ethereal charm.

30 in x 24 in, oil on canvas

Somnambulistic
Rise. Dip in cool water, and
Roam towards the sun.

30 in x 24 in, oil on canvas

You look back over
Your shoulder with joy. Your space
Is indeed your place.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

A phantom haunts the
Water in its secret skin. It dreams
An underground dream.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Strange clay squeezed into
A dinosaur, a heart, lips,
A yellow dancer.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

Looking for a way
To ease the boredom, he does
A jig in the night.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

It's looking back at
You.  Dark iris set in
Yellow.  Cold blue skin.
 

22 in x 14 in, oil on canvas

Avocado skin,
Velvet carcass, an unreal
Conglomeration.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

They were split apart
And scattered across the void
Of pale empty blue.

40 in x 30 in, oil on canvas

Curvy, trippy. He
Is at ease in nowhere land,
In his daydream suit.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

They will always move
And be unpredictable,
In these unknown parts.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Caught in the middle.
Surfing with a jagged knee
Through the empty blue.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

A cat watching its
Prey. Small noses, big noses.
Laughing and eating.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

Gathering of sorts.
Two faces, three heads. Someone
Suspended sideways.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

Crumpled, chiseled thoughts.
Shiny fur. Blistered rings, masks.
Obscure things that glow.

40 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

Green lips. Bright red tongue.
Places to live, places to
Hide beneath the skin.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Misplaced flesh. Rough squeeze.
Empty smiles and grimaces,
Soft and sinister.

38 in x 24 in, oil on canvas

Colors shift, shapes drift.
Orange ball rests in crimson
Bowl. Somewhere, a smile.

20 in x 14 in, oil on canvas

It’s crowded in here,
in this beast of blurred dreams and
shadows, empty mouths.

18 in x 14 in, acrylic on linen

Reminisce about
the shapes of dreams, and the dance
of wild eyes, red smile.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

A slow, gentle jump
Into space. Not of this earth
Or any other.

48” x 36”
Oil on canvas

Must reach for the sun
With two jaws, while balancing
The moon on a nose

48 in x 36 in, oil on canvas

Standing on one foot.
Adventurous stacks piled high.
A quiet power.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Ghosts in the bloodstream
Lurking in shadows, ready
To metamorphose.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Unknowns beneath skin
Crazy forms stitched together
Red and blue tendrils.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

This is how the fun
Begins. Just some shapes floating
With glowing colors.

30 in x 24 in, oil on canvas

Buried for over
A million years, it absorbed
Multiple colors.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Who could but marvel
At it. Color factories
Sprouting oddities.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Peering inside a
Wide-open mouth. Jaws gripping
A limb. Faceless cub.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

The stripes fall down, the
Stripes zig, then zag. Its neck is
Long and slippery.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

Body of restless
Curves and things in the shadows.
They hold together.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Junkyard mystery.
Bird crouches above it all.
Vacant eye stares back.

Flat visions, sudden
Cuts joined together. Something
Tries to swim. Birds kiss.

20 in x 16 in, oil on canvas

Archipelago.
Disconnected oddities.
The eyes of Horus.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

It grabs everything
From everywhere. A sticky
Dream of the obscure.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

Blue greasy shadows.
Exquisite corpse of clenched teeth,
Breather holes, strange meat.

48 in x 36 in, oil on canvas

Alien waves roil
The skies. Beast with the purple
Jaws plucks tiny prey.

30 in x 22 in, oil on canvas

Night shadows bring dreams
Of incomplete forms that float.
Hooves, snout, faded eye.

48 in x 36 in, oil on canvas

For this, I must thank
Lewis Carroll, James Ensor.
Masks, cheshire cat grin.

34 in x 50 in, oil on canvas

They will jump in it
Even if the air is red
Anonymous freaks.

They sleep alone, but
at night, gather together
under starless sky.

Oil on canvas, 24 in x 36 in

Bright moon and colors
Glitter. Toothy grin, orange
Soft, tentacled toy.

36 in x 48 in

To dance is to dream
Or so they say, the ones who
Gather in the night

28 in x 62 in, oil on canvas

Cocooned in pink and
White raindrops. Bathed in the light
Of misty morning.

36 in x 24 in, oil on canvas

Indescribable,
Fading sky. A lazy feel
Skin like red lentils.

36 in x 24 in, oil on canvas

It rests in the night’s
Accumulations, skin like
A melting candle.

36 in x 24 in, oil on canvas

Dirigible of
Misplaced bones and flesh.  It floats
Amid dancing blues

40 in x 32 in, oil on canvas

Watch the nonsense grow:
Subterranean dreams and
Magical cities.

22 in x 30 in, graphite on paper

Carved out of the night
And the mind. Grotesque forms swim.
Wicked smile, dark eyes.

30 in x 22 in, graphite on paper

Illusory shapes.
They are from a future passed.
Melt, push and obscure.

Cold, discarded thoughts.

Whispers in the night

Forever trapped in
A barren land, forced to watch
Nightmares in the sky.

30 in x 22 in, graphite on paper

A fall, a mad rush
And they were still not dead. One
Flew it above it all.

Galactic dramas unfold
A manic juggle.

Into the night. Two eyes stare
Back at each other.

Undulating shadows sing
A brilliant song.

Vomiting beast, eyes, snouts and

Forgotten people.

Underwater and loves to
Gnaw on its thick hand.

Flying through the air,
Carrying rare gifts in its
Belly, jaw thrust up.

He thought he dreamed of a misshapen clown. He was not sure. Perhaps it was a malformed bird, or multi-colored ghost frozen in the sky.

8 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

It was paradise, even the expiring hands -- those exquisite mysteries of the flesh -- that exchanged and tossed small bursts of candlelight!

8 in x 8 in, oil on masonite

juggling in the night.

Meat. Erratic curves.
