The Summer Cult

It’s not a cult. It’s just a birthday party.

We’re going to get an AirBnB and invite some friends to join us for a long weekend. Potential locations are Guerneville, Santa Cruz, and Joshua Tree. It’s probably going to be an easy drive from the Bay Area, but I can’t stop checking out ridiculous art spaces out in the desert. Plus doing drugs in the desert is way more culty (not that this has anything to do with a cult), but that does bring me to my next point—

It’s a soft drug binge. A heroic dose of mushrooms. The world’s finest cannabis. Wine, rum, and cigars. Cooking and feasting. Swimming— maybe at the beach, or in a river, or a pool in the middle of the desert. A camp fire.

We’re going to get all fucked up and frolic in the summer heat and be grateful that we live in a world of abundance, and then we’re going to talk to God.

It’s not a cult though, so don’t get your hopes up for cult stuff.

The Art Haus

A virtual art gallery. We’re going to get an aesthetically dynamic house and hang a bunch of my art on the walls. The goal is to get high quality photos and video content to market my art, including:

  • Good photos of my art hanging in fashionably staged environments.

  • 1:1 conversations in which I sit down across from a friend and go into depth on each individual piece for a 10-15 minute video.

  • A read through of my comic The Stoner Saga.

Plus, whatever else I can squeeze in. I want to capture as much great content as I can to market my art online. In service of that, I’m trying to create a charged environment with a bunch of interesting creative friends in a beautiful setting. Examples below.

I’m an artist, I’m trying to find the balance between my art and the rest of my life by sharing my creative process in real time, and I’m engaging my community in the effort to seek solutions to that eternal challenge.

Freddie + Barn’— of my favorite pieces from 2020— is off to a new home with a collector, so we’re having another going away party.

Time to say goodbye to “D’Oh”, one of the first pieces I made as part of the series Mlopony Mony— and one of my favorites. Sad to see him go but happy that he’s found a forever home.
