As always, I'm starting something new. I love telling stories in as many ways as possible. I'm going to be working on some recordings of traditional New Mexican folk songs. I have been inspired by the life and work of Jenny Vincent, and I feel a responsibility to carry her dream...

BOOM! 2 is complete! "Love Hurts", and there's nothing like a video to deliver the full impact of the intention of these paintings. Self sabotage as demonstrated by my favorite Saturday morning coyote.

My diet is officially over, but I'm committed to continue eating in a way that is consistent with the "coyote". Meat is on the menu.
This tomahawk ribeye is a meaty treat. While usually, I engage in a mostly vegetarian diet, lately I've been eating a lot more meat in order to in...

BOOM! 2.
Love hurts. I’d likely rather strike a stick of dynamite than feel a hurt heart fully and completely.

It's been so hot! For a bit of reprieve from the heat, I headed to the river! There's an accompanying video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FfBHFAl72wI
I hope everyone is staying cool in this unusual season!

BOOM! I’d previously posted/talked about Saturday morning cartoons. They were definitely an early introduction to art, whether I realized it or not. It was the first time that I ever realized that sounds could have a visual form! The landscapes, animals, and themes were familiar. Especially tho...

It's going to be another 10-15 minutes until my food is ready. No problem. I'll wait outside. Yep, it's 102 degrees outside.

I took a little field trip to check out the corpse of a dead giant. Once upon a time the Sears, Roebuck and Company would deliver almost every luxury to anyplace in America with a train depot. This one corporation delivered pot bellied stoves and muskrat traps to the West when n...

I took out one of my bows and tried my hand at some target practice. It was really the shoes that I was trying out. I wanted to feel grounded, and anchored. A connection to something ancient and primal. Really what I felt was that it has been too long since I've been out b...

Shoes can be important. Not just choosing the correct shoes for a long walk, or a special occasion, but the feeling that they give. I'm working on a character that's very grounded and natural. These shoes have been a bit of a challenge in that regard. They aren't much to look at...

I've been working on some tie-dye inspired by nature! I've taken a lot of walks this summer, and I've been lucky enough to spot some beautiful animals, patterns and colors along the way.
Here, I've dyed two tube tops. The first, inspired by the beautifully patterned box turtles I've s...

This is one of the most dramatic pieces of my costume. I just finished it today and had to try it on! There are still other elements of the outfit that need to come together, but this is an amazing piece!

"They Call Me Coyote", as a series of work has a lot of aspects at play, I think often about resurrection and renewal. So when inspiration strikes, even as a fraction of an idea, I jump!
The first photo is from the internet, a photo of a significant discovery of a relief of Aztec godd...

I’ve completed the belt!
With careful measuring and cutting, I have a handmade leather knot belt to hold up a beautiful breech cloth!

“Coyote” is almost ready with a complete outfit! I have an appropriate textile to use as a breech cloth, and I worked on making a leather belt today (not shown here, this is another belt just to test the fit of the breech cloth).
I snapped a few photos while wearing the clothes and acc...

I’ve soaked two pieces of leather in hand mixed dye for 24 hours. I have basic colors of a quality textile dye, but this golden ochre color is not basic. It’s a mixture of yellow, and red. To prevent it from being too orange I also added blue and black. The color reminds me of a traditional n...

A manipulation of the flow of time. This is old footage, in a completely new way.
I've often wondered what would happen if I could change time or events. While there is no definitive way to travel through time and change outcomes, I've realized that things can change. Even if they are thing...

Well, that didn't go as planned! Stretching the earlobe is tricky business!

This is it! It's the last gauge of ear stud in my artistic vision. This is going to be a tough one.

This was my playground as a kid. I learned to ride a bicycle alongside that old church.
The rocks in the distance were places of retreat and play. It was my whole world, my kingdom. I’d often sit in natural recesses in the rocks and gaze over my realm!
But what is really important i...

A little thing I wrote in July of 2012.
I have a tendency to misplace things. Sometimes, it's just a matter of dropping things like keys off in an unpredictable place, without thought. More than once, I've refrigerated my car keys. Other times, I put things somewhere "safe", where I'l...
