INKY FINGERS:
Reevaluating the Printed Page in the Age of Google
By James Greene
So here is the setup: A typical undergraduate is charging to and from classes while texting away on their cell. They simultaneously carry on “conversations” with several friends, send [...]
THE RIOT ACT (1997-2000)
Between 1997 and 2000, I drew a regular editorial comic strip for the Northern Iowan, the University of Northern Iowa’s student newspaper (now known as Northern Iowa Today.) I recently stumbled upon an indexed list of nearly the entire run of the comic at UNI’s Rod Library archive. Check out the link here.
Week after week, [...]
EAST BY SOUTHEAST
Here are images of Eastern Washington State between Cheney and Steptoe Butte State Park. The fog lifted around noon. What we could see of the landscape was foreign to us. Things emerged and patterns were discerned. The mist created a unifying awareness.
Dream Draw

SALTA: The Weight of the World (part 1)
The artist attempts and repeatedly fails to press an air-filled ball deep into the water of a swimming pool at night. The action is like the opposite of that of Atlas straining under the weight of the world. The ball keeps falling upward as the artist continues to work.
Westward Ho!
I accepted a lecturer position at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, WA (just outside of Spokane) where I will be teaching in the art department. This thrills my family and I after 3 years of part-time adjunct teaching in Florida. We moved out here with only a mini-van and ourselves. Starting from scratch has been [...]
