That’s me speaking from my latest interview with Dahlia Jane for her newly relaunched Upon a Midnight Dreary site.
She’s a dear friend, and we go back donkeys years, or at least not
too far back to the days when I couldn’t get arrested, let alone any
interest in a show. Thankfully, she didn’t let that stop her, and in
fact this excellent article she penned, was the only notable exception to the complete indifference for my Purgatorium show back in 2014.
She’s been radio silent for a few years, plotting her next move, but
in her absence, the blogosphere has filled up the void with dark art
podcasts and the like, but I maintain she was the first, so they are all
really just riding her coattails.
At any rate, she’s bringing her original blog back, as a chronicle
for how artists busy themselves in such times as we live in, and I’m
honored to be among the first to be included.
So here it is, in which I chat about daubing during Covidolation, my
next series “Infernal”, Fred and Rose West, toilet paper and more.
Give it a gander and spread it about, but please stay home while doing it.
"David said to me that if we could unburden our preconceptions of what
the artist is supposed to be, we could get back to the experience of
art."
As has become customary, the marvelous Upon a Midnight Dreary blog has gotten there first and reviewed my forthcoming Purgatorium show ahead of the rest of the World. It did help that Dahlia Jane, had the opportunity to see a couple of the works first hand, whilst she was here for the SD expo. You can read her spiffing review in full from the link HERE. Thank you Dahlia.
In other quarters-the Social Media ones-regardless of algorithm impediments, it's been well received from what I can tell. With that said, I happily welcome any prospective bloggers, writers or editors to cover my show, and should any of my readers happen to know how to get my work before the right ears, eyes and noses for periodicals like Hi Fructose, Juxtapoz (all the usual suspects), I'd appreciate it. Any buzz generated will make all the difference to the outcome.
A sneak preview of my upcoming show-Purgatorium-has just been very kindly posted over at Upon a Midnight Dreary, as the grand finale for a 2014 Gothic Summer drive,in what writer Dahlia Jane is predicting as "the most significant solo show of the year".
So,no pressure there then.

I'm very honored to have been a guest and interviewed on a podcast show, by LA's homicidal hostesses-Dahlia Jane.
Dahlia of course, is one of my biggest supporters and has done a sterling job in the past of promoting my work on her awesome blog.
There's plenty of food for thought, as I talk about Art, the Man/son showcase, horror movies and future projects over on Upon a Midnight Dreary. Grab yourself a brew and a plate of cookies and listen in. Thank you Dahlia.
