Sometime producer of art, more often producer of dad jokes. Single father of a wonderful teenage son. Wild vacillations between the ridiculous and the self-serious. He/him/“Hey, moron!”

I’m … um, I’m in this one. Profile. Seriously, that looks quite a bit like me.
White, gray, and black paint, mixing & separating. If one is so inclined, one can see the profile of a bearded man, closely resembling the artist/photographer.

I’m a black box device for producing these, apparently.
Spent paint tint on wood, greens, yellows, reds, kind of blobby. Spent paint on wood, very seventies colors. Dried red colorant, cracked like an arid riverbed. Side of an empty bucket where acetone was used to clean squirt-bottles of dye. Mostly blue here.

Once upon a time I was much younger, and occasionally got out to meet people. Very awesome people.
A Polaroid of a fan meeting & shaking hands with Tom Baker, who played the fourth Doctor in Doctor WHO.

My ex got my son a National Geographic Crack-Open-Your-Own-Geode kit. I ended up helping them crack them open, and got to open two myself. This one was my favorite.
Inside a cracked geode. The edge of the rock, transitioning to swirls, then to crystals. Grays, dark & light, and white. Inside a cracked geode.

More of my usual tomfoolery.

The contrast has been adjusted, and the background soundtrack of warehouse noises and grunge music has been muted. Otherwise, unedited footage taken by my phone.

Four random photos from my phone
Four colors of conversion varnish, with a post-catalyzed primed, swirls of prosaic color. Fire-suppression equipment, lit by a skylight. An exhibit in Beaverton, Oregon. A maple leaf caught in a chain- link fence

For no reason.
B&W photo of a bearded, middle-aged man in a gray t-shirt (you’ll have to trust me).

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo/Gif is your therapist. Who is it?

(Posthumous or not, I’ll take it.)
A photo of Freddy Mercury with the following text: “People do get the wrong impression of me” Posted by @davethehat - A friend of mine met Freddy in an airport and asked for an autograph. He then asked if it could be made out to his wife, who was a huge fan who had recently been admitted to a psychiatric hospital with a breakdown. Freddy took his address and sent her a postcard from every city on queen's upcoming tour. Pure class.

New coworker showed up last week. Doesn’t get much done, to be honest.
A photograph of a very skinny, long-legged spider, rendered in high-contrast black & white.

Sunday selfie. Not sure the new skin routine is doing what the saleslady promised.
Selfie of a middle-aged man. Original photo lit from above by a skylight, then layered with a photo of green/yellow/black paint colorants. Very chunky/spattered look, almost like a palette knife painting.

A little B&W.
A black & white photograph of the lower third of a drinking glass, thick and distorting the light & the background. A black & white photograph, blurry, abstract, and distorted, shot from between two fingers. A black & white photograph of escalators at Portland International Airport, fairly high contrast. A black & white photograph of garage stairs at Portland International Airport, fairly high contrast.

Mirror selfie. This is how you do these, right?

His mother got him a new clock.
An analog wall clock, where the hands are John Cleese’s legs from the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch.

Closeup of an old doll’s face. Quaint? Creepy? Possibly both.

Ancestors & antecedents.
An old photograph of a large Lebanese-American family, first generation immigrant parents, their adult children, sons- and daughters-in-law, and grandchildren. Mid-1930s, estimated date.

Here’s a picture I took on the way home last Wednesday.
A photo of trees, sky, clouds, a set of red traffic lights, and a surprise rainbow fragment.

Almost three minutes of slow psychedelia, from your token straight-edge old guy.
