i’ve been working on a piece that speaks of sex and desperation: art in the house.

“Untitled”

“Be A Man”
silkscreen
When I was a freshman in college I decided I wanted to design some tee shirts. The whole thing didn’t really work out, but I got some cool silkscreens as a result. They’re better for making posters than shirts.
