New year, New work (Patreon)

As some of you may know my dream is to photograph alongside wild animals, naked in nature. Until I can make this happen on a large scale, I have decided to start painting and collaging with animals on top of my nude art. Here is one of my new explorations and experiments. It is very fun and cathartic for me to do this. Very playful. What do you think? A lot of people have been comparing my work to Peter Beard, and as I research him more, and as I see some of his work in galleries, I recognize the resemblance… it is always an honor to be compared to such iconic artists from around the world.

You are not your mind, body, or experiences. You are that which was never born, and will never die… the quiet, hidden ecstasy, that permeates all things holy.
