"You aren’t just donating. You are orchestrating. This bankrolls an entire, full-scale, deep-expedition into the unknown. Think months in the Amazon.

A cache of gold, weapons, and artificats burried in a mountain 78 years ago. But it would take this level of funding to find it. Interested?I will go anywhere on Earth that is humanly (or questionably) possible. You dictate the mission. You send me into the void. You decide if I chase ancient myths, lost cities, forbidden places, or just sit in a desert for a month staring at a rock, contemplating existence. There are no rules at this level. We work it out together. Either way, it will be legendary."

🔥 Support the Journey – Fuel the Madness 🔥
Every dollar you give fuels the art, stories, and wild explorations that define my work. Your support isn’t just about keeping me on the road—it’s about transforming raw experiences into paintings, novels, and creative projects that wouldn’t exist otherwise.
From my months in the Amazon Rainforest came …
A composition made of pigments processed from local fruits, which became…
An Oil Painting, that then became …
The cover of my latest novella, Between The Shadows of Eden. A story from the Amazon, my time with the Tikuna, and That thing I saw in the Jungle. Your signed copy is just a click away!
This is what I do: I chase the liminal spaces between myth and reality, between art and madness—and I bring them back for you.
And know that your support doesn’t just fuel my journey—it directly impacts the people and landscapes that make it possible. Every dollar spent goes into the hands of local families in some of the most impoverished regions of the world. It funds wildlife conservation, supports cultural preservation, and helps sustain communities living on the edge of our planet’s last wild places.
Thank you for being a part of my madness.
Cheers,
Max
