Final photos of the work for @seawalls_ Boston. "Precipice" An illuminated wave crests at the height of the five story East Boston Fire Station partially obscuring a portrait of Donald McKay, a local historic figure who was world renowned for building the fastest ships of the mid 19th century. His most famous vessel, the Flying Cloud, is shown attempting to sail away from the impending threat while being nearly overtaken, suggesting that antiquated solutions cannot provide a way out of the climate crisis. The image reminds us how our collective history is under threat of being washed away while McKay's still visible right eye suggests our ability to imagine an alternate outcome. Do we have the vision to see our way to a sustainable future or will we all go down with the ship? Thanks for making it possible @pangeaseed @harborartsboston @brmproductionmanagement 🙏🏻 (at East Boston Waterfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSxBZxyldrR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Special thanks to our generous sponsors @bostonharbornow @thefenway @brmproductionmanagment @fromthebowseat @hiltonbostonlogan @montanacans Follow along for project details and events.

It’s Earth Day! If you’d like to support an organization that promotes education through art about our current ecological challenges, this image is available as a print through @pangeaseed via the 🔗 in my bio. I may also release the animated version in the near future, if only there were an exciting new platform for digital art?!! 😉 Stay tuned 🌊🌎⚓️🐠🪝🗿🌿 (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN-LNpphDg9/?igshid=1ohexiu57woxo

I love it when a plan comes together... For almost four years I’ve been working on a project that involves real and imagined Brooklyn history alongside some truly unique characters in the restaurant industry. Here are a few details to tease the 7 foot wide oil painting I made for @sunkenharborclub at @gage.and.tollner in Downtown Brooklyn. More to follow! 🧜🏼‍♀️🐠🐚🌊⛵️⚓️🪝🏛 #imusadinfima @stjohnfrizell @benisclovis @chefsohui @stevietwoshakers (at Gage and Tollner) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN7nHjQhPzG/?igshid=zgz3fmhamydr

Very excited to return to a travel schedule that brings me back to the places and people I’ve deeply related to over the past decade. Can’t believe it’s been 2 years since painting this mural in Rome with support from the US Embassy @ambasciatausa and @muromuseum (at Ancient Rome) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNsaalzhrUO/?igshid=xqcb4xz3zdh8

“MEGACOSM” is a stop motion animation I made with @brilliantchampions four years ago for a strange little show at their former gallery in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

Today my first print edition of 2021 is available through @pangeaseed 🏝🐠🌳🦈✨ "Island" was originally conceived for the UN World Oceans Week hosted by the Explorer's Club as a virtual event last year. The work was created live from my studio with daily check-in video chats alongside PangeaSeed Foundation's Tre Packard in between lectures by leading marine biologists, climate scientists, innovators, and explorers. A bit humbling to say the least. The resulting image illustrates ecosystem interdependence, particularly the connection of life on land to the health of the oceans. Available as a standard signed and numbered edition of 50 at 24x24” or as a super limited oversized hand finished edition of 5 at 36x36”. ⛓in my bio (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-DXVMBom6/?igshid=46z9lk7ctikd
