in aquas 34”x32” (acrylic and cardboard on resonant window) $800

six and 53947 find themselves in the heart of the newly-formed aquas.

to travel through the metropolis of aquas is to know a certainty so complete, questions become inessential.

great green bubbles breathe from its buildings. the iconic flame that birthed them still burns in their architecture. worldtruths float at one’s fingertips, to grasp one is to know verity.

truths untold sustain the smoldering flame in a cycle that makes the city seem to sing.

9"x11"(acrylic and cardboard on glass) $200. Byproducts of the cycle of coexistant exchange, bluebirds absorb random floating resonant energy as they travel the sky of worldview. This causes them to swell to enormous sizes, slowing their flight and ultimately requiring them to land. they settle on the buildings of gladwell, whose walls absorb the bluebirds' resonant overflow. This sudden rush of resonant energy causes the buildings to push from their foundations and travel up and out of the valley that initially contained the entirety of the city.

(53947 helps six the cat to get to the top of the tall armchair—his favorite place to be​.  Six cannot jump, but 53947 can easily lift his bulk. This seemingly selfless act of assistance by a bonded friend elevates 53947 in its occurrence and provides an added experience of upward mobility to the land-bound orangecat. Here is mutually-beneficial co-existence in action. Here is the true heart of the story)

"hymn 53947" (14" x 8")  acrylic and cardboard on glass. 2025.  (N.Oak Park Ave and North Blvd. 2010) $400.

(The beginning. In 2009, i began a conversation with an "enlightened typeface designer" named 53947 that lives in worldview.  He has learned how to use worldview's naturally-occurring longflame as a tool to communicate with me through the recycled window panes of our world.  Here, as he draws preparatory longflame from the air, he shows us that "all is interconnected" and a unique story of self-reflection is about to begin. )

"the journey up" 20"x9" (acrylic and cardboard on glass) $200. six takes a journey to aquire a ramp that will help him get to the top of the tall arm chair unassisted. The dense, land bound, orangecat has no vertical leap and though he has no problem with the long walk to the "framework bloom", he requires a bit of assistance when traversing the foothills of the okeanos mountains. Fortunately, a helpful yellow greeble is more than happy to provide a lift in exchange for a bit of conversation and fellowship.

"around an inspiring fire" 13" x 11"(acrylic and cardboard on glass) $200. "the longflames of worldview don't radiate heat, nor do they consume fuel to produce their everlasting fire. In fact, the longflame radiates an intangible, inspiring energy that boosts creative thought and artistic expression. they are considered eternal flames as they have yet to burn-out or waver.
there are many spots of active longflame on worldview and it has been proposed that they all may be linked through a series of natural conduits. Still, there are preferred spots for experiencing the longflame, like the towering inferno found outside of city of gladwell. So great is its radiating resonant flame, it may be seen for miles and regularly draws giant bluebirds that drink from its fire til they swell to the size of the buildings that they, in turn, inspire to movement."

lodestar passage (acrylic and cardboard on glass) 12"x12" $200.

there is a famous explorer in worldview with an unquenchable appetite for exploration. they were there when the framework bloom formed the okeanos mountains from underwater sea-soil and they were immediately drawn to explore the new extreme landscape. uncharacteristically underprepared, they hastily launched themselves into the peaks with old equipment. this was only made apparent when a rope snapped descending a peak roughly in the middle of the new range. they tumbled into the valley and landed hard, crushing a recently gifted portable battery—a pocketcity--in the action. the top part of the battery was compacted and it spilled its insides to the mountain's sea-soil. the reaction caused the structure to swell and it grew into a full-sized city. the compacted upper structure fused several floors of electrics together, creating a beacon of light that guides travelers through the mountain range to a welcome rest stop.

fire from an eye

23'x19' acrylic and cardboard on glass. $200.

The designer of the firecaster was inspired by the natural architecture of flattop rock, found on the other side of the great plain. The firecaster generates enough free energy to power a continent using an altered pocketcity that takes roughly as much space as a mailbox. There is no reason for the scale of the firecaster's structure, nor the use of a city's-worth of power to generate the eternally spinning resonant fire that mimics a burning "eye", save the novelty of its existence. Glorious public art.

"helping hand" (acrylic and cardboard on glass) 13"x13". $200 Iconic flowers grow under the water on the shore of gladwell. Like all iconic, they constantly babble worldtruths. for landbound iconic this stream of floral consciousness takes no tangible space and can be heard as a pleasant hum. This is not the case for the underwater iconic as the saline water envelopes individual thoughts as they emerge from each bloom, manifesting as translucent green bubbles that float about the environment of worldview. If one were to burst one in their hand, an undeniable worldtruth would be revealed.

"every golden path ends with the "forever cupcake". once the "mileadean pen complete" has traced an ideal path to a desired destination, it always returns directly to the sea. more specifically, it returns directly to the "forever cupcake." the giant white octopus stops the pen at the shore just before it falls into the water, removes the key from its side and gently pushes it back landward where it idly traces its inky path randomly about the landscape until it's guidance is needed again. initiating a golden path requires replacing the removed key in the side of the wandering mileadean pen. this is why every golden path begins with the "forever cupcake."

"Are you ever at home if you’re never at rest?

Have you ever belonged before?

If home is an endless question, where is the place your period lands?

Where the heart is, where your mom is, where the wine is

Where your voter registration is? Where your voice is heard?

Where you pay at least one utility bill.

We don’t say “homeless” anymore.

We don’t have homes anymore,

Where they expect to see us.

Do you sleep at home?

Shouldn’t you be at home?

You sure as hell shouldn’t be here." -Thulasi Seshan

i was incredibly fortunate to be inspired by the words of Thulasi Seshan when creating this painting for a collaborative exhibit with AnySquared and Pilsen Arts & Community House exploring the concept of "home" called "home not home." this work was also selected to be produced into wheatpaste posters for AnySquared Arts current "casa no casa" project.

the firecaster appears to gather resonant energy out of the air and compact that energy into longflame. the longflame is harvested and used for movable sources of resonant energy—an incredible convenience if one needed to refill a pocketcity and didn’t have the time to travel to the nearest naturally-occurring longflame. the firecaster is more than the device, incorporated into the works is a fully-functioning urban area. the entire entity is movable and it travels as the city’s needs require. it does require contact with sea-soil to process resonant energy.

the greeble are self-sufficient, self-replicating critters that wander the land of worldview. nothing brings them more pleasure than domestic work. often a greeble will find itself in another part of the world after following a trail of rubbish in ecstatic euphoria. this tendency makes the greeble a valuable resource for news exchange in addition to a thorough cleaner.

53947 is a typeface designer. while his world is incredibly visually complex, i cannot see the fine difference. it is as if i am looking into a hd world with 8-bit eyesight. this limitation makes all the “new romans” look similar to me. my brain has created a construct to tell them apart in the form of a number tag. periodically, in our communication, 53947 has shown me his work. while i know each font is unique, my eyesight has boiled the text down into some variation of “times new roman.” the icon-a was responsible for 53947’s awakening, making the letter “a” a favorite reflecting-point in his work.

longflame are free-burning, naturally occurring phenomenon. they do not burn hot. they do not destroy anything in their burning. they do not require feeding. longflame “burn” with the same energy that encourages “human creativity” and the people of worldview have come to understand how to harness its energy for productive uses as well as aesthetic ones. a pocketcity may be filled with longflame, acting as a portable battery of its energy.

he once told me it was necessary to take a moment of reflection.he thought this a clever piece of wordplay.he continued to explain the necessity for a moment to understand how things flow within each other and how the very existence of something seemingly insignificant can have profound effect on the things which surround it. sunrise on worldview—53947 experiences the new day—a walk on the beach, a glance out to see.the new dawn brings possibilities—each new day brings new beginnings—even if the beginnings are only continuances of yesterday’s beginnings.

he doesn’t need his pocketcity any longer, he can draw resonant energy from the air. iconic fire floated on the saline water combined with the battery swells it to a full-size floating city. aquas, a city built on truth.

bubbles from underwater iconic float through the valley and beach near gladwell. a bit of pressure pushes these bubbles into a fire of a different sort.

minor adjustment 31”x 32” (acrylic and recycled cardboard on resonant window) $400.

a piece on an ongoing story woven between images spanning over a year. 53947 contemplates his latest font design. having perfected the process, he pulls threads of resonant energy to form the positive and negative spaces of the design. it only takes a minor nudge to his original design to find “perfection.”

again, i am reminded of my inability to see fine detail through the windows, his minor adjustment is lost on me as every view of his work in progress looks exactly the same to my vague eyes.

53947 has created a new font inspired by the auspicious “a” that opened his mind to “the possibility of everything.” he knows he has recreated the line of the letter to the “t” and shows it to six, curious as to his reaction. six understands the gravity of the letter and offers an honest assessment.

six the cat cannot jump. he is bound to the ground and is therefore limited in his capacity to reach higher elevations(a favorite pastime of his) he takes a trip to see the “framework bloom” one day in order to acquire a block that will allow him to travel the height of an armchair-top on his own. the journey to find the bloom was a long one, but with the aid of the mileadean pen, it was a straight-forward one. the pen draws a perfect path to the users ideal location. all one needs to do is follow the line.

acrylic and cardboard with resonant window. 36” x 28” $400

six travels to (or from) the framework bloom. he is walks a switchack that allows him to avoid climbing or jumping--a skill this cat does not have the ability to perform. he travels to (or from) gladwell, a city that climbs from the valley of a caldera, up its walls and down the other side. aquas floats off its shore, humming bubbles of truth like the iconic it was made from. which way is this gravity-dense, orange critter heading in his journey and does it really matter?

the glass in this shadowbox is from a broken resonant window. it holds some resonant energy, but nothing showed-up when i looked-inside. i decided to build it into a device that could charge the glass over time and fixed the pane in front of an “auspicious a”—the symbol that brought omniscience to 53947. over time, as the “auspicious a” viewed through the glass, the pane will gather resonant energy and charge. in an emergency, this glass can then be used.

without this painting, i would not be the person i am today. 53947 had been having a dream. he was told by a blue bird to pass an old dead tree and climb a hill and on the horizon he will find “salvation.” he had this dream for years and never seemed to make it to the end before waking. this painting is the finale of that dream. it’s completion awakened 53947 to the knowledge of everything and generated a conversation that has resulted in hundreds of paintings with an equal number of life-changing dialogue.

for as long as he could remember, 53947 had the same dream. he is told by a bluebird to pass a tree and climb a hill and on the horizon above a deep valley, he will find “salvation.” he always wakes before he sees the end that he finds in “same dream:”

this painting occurred early in my career. it was intended to bridge two worlds by an enlightened 53947. he has reflected me back to me. i didn’t’ t hear him in this painting for nearly two-years—a missed connection in this panel. 53947 encounters a figure that bears a resemblance not of form, but of action and intention. nothing short of himself can stop him, the power of the universe in his eye.

33" x 32" (acrylic, cardboard and resonant window) $300.

this was an early painting in my communication.the early years were spent setting-up an understanding by which i might best understand his world.he issued probing questions to test my perception.what value do i place on spirituality, faith and worship?was i willing to shift my perception? was i willing to challenge those things i put the most strength-in?
things may not be as they appear, reserve judgement, rethink positions.

occasionally, 53947 chooses to show me images of my world. sometimes they are playful observations from his side. other times, they are focusing pieces used to calibrate my sight using familiar structures or known concepts. buildings, i have come to understand, are frequently used to signify sturdy batteries of stored resonant energy. windows also serve this function in my work.
