Just before 2020 ended, I revisited and completed an old film project from 2008.  It’s an experimental film shot on super8 with a flashlight taped to the camera.  Hand-processed in buckets, blown up to 16mm with effects using an optical printer, and hand-processed in buckets again.  The images/sound are from a basement show at FFA, in Boston, MA, on 11/24/2008.  Female Trouble, Kill Conrad, Off With Their Heads, & The Kill Boys are the bands that played.

Though the piece was finished digitally, I still feel that the film used to shoot it and re-photograph it was absolutely necessary in capturing the dirty, wild mess of a typical basement show.

Exactly one month ago today, Fuck Your Dreams Zine released our first print volume!  Fuck Your Dreams is a zine that explores the themes of death, decay, and destruction.  When we started work on this a year ago, we could not predict how relevant our apocalyptic doom baby zine would become in 2020.  Featuring artwork by our 22 talented contributors, this color, 50-page zine also has original artwork from Olivia Deng and myself sprinkled throughout.  Head over to the website to buy a copy.  We also have buttons, stickers, and 13”x19” borderless prints up for sale!

My first large piece completed under COVID-19 home isolation.  April, 2020.  36”x48” paint marker, spray paint, acrylic jewels on plexiglass.
