New Series - "The Good Land"

I am working on a new project, entitled (at least provisionally) "The Good Land". The works are a bit of a departure from my normal landscapes, but I've been developing the ideas behind this series for some time. They are inspired by the likes of Jeff Brouws, Ed Ruscha and Peter Baker, along with any number of contemporary German landscape photographers. These works attempt to juxtapose and perhaps reconcile the mythical, idealized California with the everyday reality of the street.

The title comes from the nickname for the town of Goleta here on the central coast.

A work in progress.

Street Art & the War on Terror released

I was browsing Urban Outfitters the other day and found the book I was featured in, right next to Banksy's book! I recently received my copy - it's a fantastic collection of anti-war art, proof positive of the strength of anti-war and anti-empire sentiment around the world. I am proud to do my part to uphold the American tradition of dissent and rebellion, especially nowadays, when most have forgotten to care.
