Captain’s Log - Season V:

TIGERS & THE TOP OF THE WORLD

I’ll be deep in the jungles of Bardiya, tracking tigers and chasing mysteries, before heading into the high Himalayas for the legendary Three Passes Trek.

Donate any amount to watch the raw, unfiltered feed on my Close Friends Playlist on Instagram where I share the strange, the hilarious, and the beautiful moments that never make it to the public feed.

 

Where Your Money Goes...

Fueling Art, Myth, and Conservation—One Journey at a Time

This isn’t just about funding an adventure. It’s about fueling the alchemy of experience into art— transforming raw encounters into paintings, stories, and relics of the unknown.

When I lived in a treehouse tracking elephants, I designed The Elephant God painting.

When I drifted down the Amazon in search of lost worlds, it became a novella.

When I step into the liminal spaces between myth and reality, they follow me back onto the canvas.

These journeys are not just wanderlust; they are the prime directive of my work— chasing the edges of civilization, where the known world dissolves into legend.

... And Why It Matters

If you want to save the tigers, save the jungle, and save the stories waiting to be told, the best way to do it is one direct exchange at a time.

By supporting this journey, you’re funding art, myth, and conservation in real time.

Every dollar doesn’t just move me forward— it creates a ripple effect. The money I spend isn’t funneled into corporate pockets or tourist bubbles. It’s spent where it matters most – with the people.

  • 🔥 Park fees, guides, and rangers – Directly funding conservation efforts that protect the wild places I explore.
  • 🍊 Local markets, street vendors, and homestays – Ensuring that the people who share their land with these creatures benefit from their survival.
  • 🐅 Tiger conservation, dollar by dollar – The best way to protect these predators isn’t through distant organizations—it’s through the hands of the locals who live among them.

And it helps me continue to grow as a storyteller and artist. At the bottom of this page is what five years of progress looks like. Five years from my very first painting to my absolute latest. Imagine what another five years of study, practice, and experience will bring. Thank you for your support.

Love,

Max

Five years ago I made my first painting inspired by a dream from my travels. An earthquake at the edge of the world. For five years I have been learning, growing, exploring - I just painted the same composition again. Below is what five years of passionate study looks like - just imagine what another five will bring! Thank you for your support.
