August 9th – September 13th @ Distillery Gallery

An exhibition curated by and featuring artists who work professionally in the industry of Fine Art Services. This group-show features some of Boston’s top-tier art handlers and technicians, displaying the work they create when we’re not lifting stuff up and putting it down.

I have two paintings in this show and couldn’t be happier about being part of this, bring a level and a tape measure and check for accuracy

May, 2025 – CASHIERS DU CINÉMA # 2 and # 3

An anthology of stories and lessons learned while working in a movie theater, 20+ artists and essays, featuring two personal comics by me. Great for anyone into indie comics, film-buffs, or the like – it also makes a perfect gift to anyone you know who’s worked at a soulless corporate cinema like I did.

It’s also just a great way to support Dan, he’s really doing God’s work with this stuff. Check out his publications here

    check it out / purchase vinyl online here

    A fantastic record, 515 years in the making.

    The Worcester, MA trio has released their finest music to date, and questionably embraced my idea of painting them into a Giorgione spoof

PLEASE TOUCH THE ART exhibit opens June 6th with panel discussion

Please Touch the Art

Please Touch the Art is a multi-sensory exhibition aimed at creating an immersive artistic experience that engages all of the senses. Not only does Please Touch the Art challenge visitors to consider how they may engage with a work of art beyond seeing, it also challenges visual artists to consider how their work engages a diverse range of audience members.

There are 52 pieces of art in this exhibition. As  you navigate this exhibition, you are encouraged to take your time with each work of art. Many of the pieces tap into multiple senses including sight, touch, sound, and even smell! See how many senses you can engage with each piece. Also included in this exhibition is a humanities exhibit presenting a History of Blind Accessibility in the Arts. Please proceed up to the third floor after experiencing the artwork to experience a selection of artifacts and imagery related to over a century of innovation, adaptation, and inclusion.

 3-D installation; “doppelgänger” on display Jan 25 – March 29 at the Mosesian Center for the Arts 321 Arsenal St, Watertown 02472

Perceptions of Self(ie) leverages art and technology to address equity, diversity and inclusion through a community building public art exhibition. The project will challenge perceptions around art making accessibility in today’s digital age by utilizing the ubiquitous “selfie” in conjunction with the more traditional self-portrait art form – both of which will be displayed side by side throughout the MCA galleries. The project includes a series of free workshops and a traditional call for art and culminates in an exhibit at the Mosesian Center for the Arts. The exhibition will take place in all three of our gallery spaces located throughout our 30,000sq ft facility and will extend through the community with the installation of large-scale posters and banners designed to feature the broad array of faces on view in the Perceptions of Self(ie) exhibition.
