Artist · 40 yearsPhysical / Digital / Systems / Culture

I build the things most people only propose.

Four decades of physical work. The digital work lives underneath it. Everything on this page has another side.

Move across the paper. Hold it up to the light.
The surface

Physical work, with the corners lifting

Each piece below led somewhere. Peel the corner to see what's underneath.

13 Skulls · Calavera · Transient Labs

The skull I've drawn since I was a kid

Thirteen of them, in pixels, each a 1/1. Reserve 0.0069Ξ, and the auction starts with the first bid. The people who keep them will be there for whatever comes next.

Plus three that aren't for sale: Hellborn (kept), Hellape (reserved), Curator (held).

Records

What happened, and who was there

Experiences, not listings. Each record is a thing that happened between the work and the people who found it.

Fresh off the press

New mints, still drying. Small prices on purpose. Some windows close for good, so if one catches you, take it.

Creating art for 40 years

I didn't start as a digital artist

I spent decades figuring out how to build impossible physical things. The digital work came later, but the impulse was always the same.

Collaborations open

Who calls

Brief ideas are enough to start. If you're unsure whether a project is possible, that's usually the right time to ask.
