Listen to Drugs and Do Some Music
Listen to Drugs and Do Some Music is not an instruction.
It’s an observation.
We live inside feedback loops. Algorithms, habits, substances, soundtracks, social gravity. Some are chemical. Some are cultural. Some are invisible until you notice they are steering you.
Music has always been a legal drug.
Drugs have always had their own music.
This piece lives in that overlap. Where influence becomes atmosphere and perception starts to warp softly instead of shattering loudly. The astronaut isn’t lost. They’re tuned in. Suspended between control and surrender, floating through signal, noise, and the illusion of clarity.
The halftone distortion isn’t decoration. It’s interference.
The waves aren’t motion. They’re pressure.
Nothing here is clean. Nothing here is accidental.
If clarity exists, it isn’t found by silencing the noise. It’s found by understanding what you’re listening to.

Artist Statement:
Runaway Thoughts
Welcome to “Runaway Thoughts,” an exploration of the boundless and unpredictable nature of the human mind. This collection delves into the stream of consciousness, capturing the fleeting and often chaotic flow of ideas, emotions, and images that race through our thoughts. Each piece reflects the spontaneity and intensity of runaway thoughts, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the vivid and dynamic world within.
Through this exhibition, I aim to highlight the beauty and complexity of our inner landscapes. By translating the abstract into the tangible, I hope to spark a deeper understanding and appreciation for the intricate workings of the mind. Join me on this journey, as we navigate the rich tapestry of runaway thoughts together.

MILLER LITE - SUMMERFEST 2016
Poster for MILLER LITE - SUMMERFEST 2016, “The World’s Largest Music Festival”. Creating gigposter art was really what got me into doing what I do today so to be given this task of creating a poster for SUMMERFEST was a tremendous honor and also a fun project. The stars that headline this festival are legends. This year Paul McCarthney, Billy Idol, The Roots, Sting, Ben Folds and many others headline this year. I never thought I would be able to say I did a gig poster for a Beattle, like THE Beattle. Insane. Stoked.
