Aeon (Ships to Europe)
Aeon (Ships to Europe)
Born from fever dreams following an earthquake on the Island of Siargao at the edge of the world.
The tsunami sirens raged and we all thought we were going to die. Wasnt much we could do about it. The hills were a 45 minute motorbike ride away and it was 3am and we were more than a few bottles of rum deep into a beachside bonfire. So we grabbed another bottle of rum and cheersed to the end of the world. I kept my eye on an extra tall palm tree to climb. The sirens eventually faded and no wave came, but what did were aftershocks every hour for a week. I couldnt sleep a wink. I kept getting jostled and jolted awake with a primal surge of panic as the earth grunted and strained and shifted beneath my feat and as my insomnia thundred into the third day of tremors the wild dreams began.
When I got back to NYC I got right to work. This was the first painting I ever made.
These prints are fancy. Pinky out fancy. Thats all you really need to know. I scowered the world for the right printmaker, accepting nothing less than the absolute best. I found a shop in the UK that met my standards. The paper is Homborgious Rag, its textured and thick and oooooo ya baby. Giclee print - archival as fuck. Will last longer than I will thats for sure. That second ‘e’ in Giclee should have a fancy dash above the e because its a fancy french word for fancy fuckin prints. They use 12 colors to print it, which I think is more than I even used to paint it. The color accuracy is *chefs kiss. Maybe you can tell im starting to lose it just a little bit. Being an artist is hard man. You dont just come up with the ideas and paint them and execute them, then you gotta go market them and set up your store and make sure it works and test and quality control and then go dance on tiktok with your freakin cow painting so hopefully someone other than my mother will buy one and I gotta do all this while being a basic stupid meatsack of a human. Ill be tucking whatever is left after I pay my landlord and buy another sack of beans to save up for plane tickets and night vision goggles. I want to go back to the jungle and look for the night tigers. No one looks for the night tigers. Theres also a dinosaur in the congo I want to go look for and a cave in vietnam big enough to house skyscrapers and I suspect a portal to another world. I want to go to kyrgyzstan and buy a horse and hang out with the nomads and I still have to go back to the Amazon to conclude my business with the spirits. So buy yourself a fancy print.
