  1. Hi, your work is very mesmerizing and there's so much I like about it, even if they are just studies... All of these pieces stand alone well individually, but as a whole, they are filled with a quiet beauty, mystery, and overall drama that I appreciate. I love the collaging and incorporation of text that add to the complexity of your work. I like the feeling I get from the landscape pieces; kind of vast and lonely, open, with a subtle energy I think (esp. within the "cosmic" pieces that resemble the strata of the earth's layers). I enjoy the farm, field and silo? image... it's kind of creepy and lonely, but has the potential to be comforting, at least to me. And while it's difficult to choose a favorite out of all of these wonderful works, I think I like the 7th and 8th down from the top intrigue me the most due to their ethereal nature, which in me, inspires an emotive response. I'm excited to see more of your work, keep it up, it's great! :)

  2. I don't have a Tumblr account to comment on your other work, but your collages are hilarious (especially with the titles). You've got great ideas and I'm looking forward to see what you come up with throughout the year. Have you thought of compiling all of them into a book of some sort? Probably, but I'd buy it :)
