Gallery Show at Orange Splot Gallery: Agents of Dawn -

This particular series deals with alternate pasts, unforeseen futures, depravity of humanity,
mechanical objects, foreign landscapes, and the sequestration of progressive human intentions.
We live in a world bound by connectivity which is almost always fortified through invention and
technology. Evolution and our process of sensing our surroundings is merely incubated in all
catalysts of technical development. Although our mind-shape is expanding through vibrations of
cause and effect, science, as well as the cosmic, macro and micro we are experiencing our
surroundings numbified by our constant installment of so called technological advancements.

Through time and space we transcend in our intuitive and delicate nature via the hub of
conciousness that is today. Planets, virtual epochs, archaic meditations, and dubious psuedo-
mutations all align to create tones of irreal but nonetheless naturalistic strands of reality. Our
pragmatic interventions on unrefined countenance brings our blindsighted shortcomings straight
into parallel with the toxic and perforated multi-verse that is expanding all around us at every
moment. Here today, gone tomorrow, but imprinted on the veiny pulp of existence.

There is an end to every beginning. Domiciles of lost tribes protrude through the terrain like
insentient megaliths constructed by a wavering society of unholy and illegitimate union. The sky
turns tepid and cracks to reveal the displacement of our sins. Ageless is the world we live in.
Passive is the response of immortality. Time to let the stained hovels of our currency become
one with post-apocalyptic aeons and return to the sand and dust from which our mineralized
bodies came. Fashion the tourniquet of falsehood and let our prophets vapor.

Octopoid locust sapping life of a quasi-autonomous golem. The android of industrial youth now
a cold, rusting fixture of placid galactic ambiance. We came to seek. They came to assist. The
long hard journey is behind us. The past is repeated. Rescuing our master was no easy task.
Beyond all hope is adrift. The orb like chitonous shell contains the fragments of a fossil that can
only have come from the ethereal borders of time. All is dry and grows dark in a sea of
cantankerous bile. The ship has landed and no one is on it. The odyssey ends.

A product of retro-contemporary passage through the enigmatic, capacious, piousness of man...

Book Illustration: Migraine Expressions -

Contributing artist/illustrator for Betsy Blondin's (www.blondins.com) upcoming publication Migraine Expressions due to release in July 2008. Migraine. It is a world of its own in the universe of primary headache disorders, a neurological disease that debilitates and limits millions of people of all countries, ages, and walks of life. That world is illuminated in these pages by beautiful and awesome works of art, photography, poetry and essays. This book will play a role in promoting awareness and exposing the need for more migraine research funding and education, and perhaps provide a revelation for others, no matter what their connection to migraine may be. The book is absolutely beautiful – 8.5 by 11, hardcover, and enveloping 192 full-color pages of our artistic and written works. In addition, until July 1, additional book copies can be purchased at a pre-pub price of $25. This first special, limited-run shipment will have matte dust jackets; the book is now featured and can be ordered at www.wordmetropress.com. * A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be contributed to migraine research and advocacy organizations.

Sequential Art: Vault of Cthulhu -

Nick is currently collaborating with sci-fi writer Scott Beem and colorist Zac Atkinson on the long awaited 'Vault of Cthulhu'. The first arc of issue #1 is winding to a finish and will be featured at the Chicago comic-con in August. This particular series delves deep into the Cthulhu mythos created by the original author of the macabre H.P. Lovecraft. The series involves original short-story arcs that spin off adaptations of sub-stories within Lovecraft's eerie world. The first issue titled "In Her House" involves a New Zealand police inspector and CIA agent investigating a mysterious crime taken place aboard a small derelict ship. Besides the traditional detective comic feel the story throws some curves involving a strange statue, a cult of misfits, murder at sea, and a horrid ethereal being.
