mad king

doing a lil thing at VisionQuest Brewery on Sunday, you should come. was planning on doing my raffle Launch on that date... but still awaiting final approval from the state. Should be a good time we will have some DJs and there will be cake and a limited edition glass ware drop.

here is a little something i finished last week in my ongoing buffaloe series. piece is titled: when confronted with adversity some will tell you to flip the script, but the buffaloes wisely council us to just change the record. piece measures 19.25"x12.25" and does some wild stuff under blackout with these 3d glasses i've been playing with

well beyond the whole world is burning geopolitical sh*tstorm been wrestling with anxiety and under pressures this year that have been unique to my entire adult life... being able to create in these moments presents simultaneously relief and an extreme challenge to even do so.

here is one of the pieces i finished last week that one of my collectors scooped up. title for this one is, "Ms. Momo, head of the secretary pool for Admiral Mooshu, having misplaced her headphones searches above the hills where the buffaloe once roamed" piece measures 13.25"x19" did something different with this frame where i brazed a walnut frame that i built... fun playing with fire.

happy Mad king day. gonna be celebrating throughout the day and taking over vision quest at 5 if you wanna join us for some techno and cake.
here is a set my dear buddy feathericci had to share with me to start your day.

Feathericci - In Season - 2025 Team Everything's annual party, In Season, at Reunity Resources farm is always a highlight of the year with multiple generations of dancers celebrating good music and the summer harvest. Here is my op

before i get distracted by looking at the "the doom" thought i'd share some good news, junior space cadet ikura is soon to be leaving the studio to go to his forever home. I used to celebrate all of my art sales by buying myself an orchid, but no longer trusting myself to be a good plant dad (i once had a collection of 14 of them that didn't weather my seasonal affective disorder one year) the little treats i get are now gonna have to be pocket sized stuffed animals for my lady and 1 new comic book... the rest will go to bills.
if you are interested in getting a Mad King original on kind of the cheap i donated a piece to Art For Reform that is currently up for auction for a good cause.

been keeping my head down and just powering through work the last few days in the studio, since i have found engaging with social media and looking at "The Doom" has felt a little counterproductive to my delicate psyche. But i am recognizing that my small role to play to help fight the doom has always been through my art.
should have posted something about this yesterday when the auction went live (and more about it to get the hype leading up to it), but... i've donated a painting to the fine folks Art For Reform to raise money for the ACLU and Minnesota Immigrants rights Action Comitee. The auction will be running til the 20th and this would be an ideal chance for you to pick up a mad king piece at a reasonable price and support some very worthy causes.
