Let’s Face It:
We’re all facing social experimentation.
And some people who understand this have taken it too far.
Programs run the script, and now the programs we have written are being worshipped.
I am, alongside with Rachel, attempting something that is foreign to us both.
Has it been done before? Probably.
Has it been done like this? I would argue, “no.”
In the videos to follow, I outline my thoughts (to different degrees) in relation to this project.
[Simple Outline with Timelapse of Grids]
[more theatrical outline, from my written statements]
Additionally, here is a written reflection in relation to larger themes and patterns that I believe are worthy of more attention. Hopefully, they give more texture to my aims.Lastly, I wanted to include a recording of myself reading Max Azzarello’s manifesto- which he released the day that he lit himself on fire in front of Trump’s Trial, 4/19/24.
“The Next Series” Tiers and Incentives
For this incentive, your purchase will include a high-quality print of all of the works created in this series (at the conclusion of the series). Additionally, it will include a copy of my current book, “Next Series,” and hopefully a phone conversation between you and me.
If this purchase is also bundled with #12, then there will be additional surprises included with the paired bundles, which will be determined when that bridge is crossed.
To get things off to a good start for those who are genuinely interested in seeing how this can play out, I will include high-quality prints of 6 select works from this series at the conclusion of all 12.
If this is bundled with #12, additional surprises will be included at the conclusion of it all.
I will include a high-quality print of “Momentum Metanoia” with this purchase, as well as a copy of my current book, “Next Series.” Additionally, it is your choice if you would like to have a phone conversation with me.
I will include a carving of a deer’s frontal lobe, which includes antlers. The carving will be done in coordination with your art piece’s style, which can be influenced by a phone conversation between you and me.
As not only the midway but also the threshold into the “four digits,” this package includes prints of all pieces created up to this point, as well as a print of “Momentum Metanoia.” I will include handwritten translations of the prayers + poetry that are in Sanskrit, and offer a reflection of my thoughts in relation to subliminal messaging.
Rachel also wishes to include a custom and hand-sewn cloak (which would involve a conversation about dimensions + style + fabric, etc.)
Maybe we can explore a video call together that celebrates spontaneous connection, and we can go into many different directions- from poetic “channelings” to pragmatic visions, depending on if you are seeking collaboration in real terms or unique perspective in relation to life.
With this package, I am taking a bit of a risk.
I want to have this be an offering for someone who is deeply curious and closeted (potentially) in their fascination for astrology. I will sit and have one-on-one sessions with you, building into your own relationship to the patterns and progressions of a tremendously beautiful- and relevant- language.
When we begin to give power to our own mythos, we begin to understand the meaning of magic- in living and personal ways, not imaginative and delusional.
In this, we have to understand the nature of patterns- including of our own, and our own history. In my opinion, astrology offers insight into all of these qualities. If you have any questions but are deeply interested, please contact me through the contact form and we can discuss.
Do you have a wall or space in mind which you would like to hang my art? Would you like for it to be coordinated according to colors that you already have?
I will create an art piece specifically with your space in mind, and include with it two canvas prints (which I will personally stretch). The details of what will be the art piece will be decided with a phone conversation. Only one condition: the one is the inversion of the other, with this original art you are purchasing to exist between the two.
A playful thought. We can figure it out together.
————
I will soon have a “Viewing Gallery” option with all works next to their inversions, but for now you can find all my art within their collective series.
This one is a unique prospect.
With this bundle, you will receive a personally-stretched canvas of “INTUIT: nothin’ to it” (22” x 30”), as well as a high-quality paper print of your choice from what has already been created within the “Next Series.”
We can talk about what you like most about your choice, and what you would like for me to create to pair along with it- the same color palate, a similar pattern; again, an opportunity for new conversation to emerge.
When you choose your favorite from what has already been created within the “Next Series,” I will make it known to the person who owns the original, and I will send to them a high-quality print of yours. I will then suggest (playfully) how you might find friendship and camaraderie in what would otherwise be strangers passing by.
If you are the individuals who own the original artpiece, “INTUIT: nothin’ to it,” then an exclusive offer is offered to you that will only be extended through a video call or in person.
———
Please ask me any questions if there is any confusion.
The incentives will become clear after we speak on the phone or through a video call to understand why you were willing to take a risk on such vague terms.
As promised, this package will include prints of all works created in this series. It will additionally include a copy of my current book, “Next Series,” as well as other surprises that will come through video or phone conversation.
If purchased as a package with #1 or #2, additional offerings will be included that will only exist as a bundle.
Is there a work within my collection of art that speaks to you? If so, I would love to hear about it. This art piece will be a revisiting of a particular style within my own history, as influenced by your perspective and comments.
The incentive includes a high-quality print of your favorite art piece, according to its original dimensions. With this purchase, a phone conversation would likely be best.
The incentives of this package will be directly influenced by a conversation between you and me. Whatever you want to ask of me, from something as simple as prints of any of my artworks to imaginative requests, are on the table.
———
We can brainstorm and have fun with the idea, and I am sure we will land at something that feels reasonable.
With each tier purchased separately, the total would come to $21,027 of total income, without factoring taxes or costs to fulfill the incentives.
———
If you are interested in supporting my voice in addition to Rachel and what we are building together, all pieces left in this series will be created for you. Conversations will naturally emerge through this period of time that I am creating this series, and hopefully a new inspiration and direction will emerge from such an investment.
———
We are seriously considering buying a home, while simultaneously juggling all of these important factors (of consideration that are often suppressed and diluted) when it comes to the theater of home buying. All of these factors- compounded by the additional strains involved with making money that is fueled through the desire to generate change in meaningful ways- make this purchase worthy of the name, “Angel Investor.”
———
I am not expecting this to be something that anyone chooses, but I also wish to open the door for spontaneous magic to emerge from the void. I will continue to adjust the price of this package based on what tiers have already been purchased by others.
To What Aim are We Working Towards?
Currently, we are playing with a few options in the air.
Ideally, we are seeking a place to move where we can harmonize with movements towards communal development.
Community not in the sense of an isolated commune, but in the aim of civics as well as human necessity.
Right now we are interested in buying a home in Hot Springs, AR- if this does genuinely gain traction and people are supportive.
There are a few things developing there that we will expand on as time progresses.
[including a Kickstarter to be launched on the Autumn Equinox]
Otherwise, we will continue to accept our own personal limitations by merit of suppressive forces which cling to generationally-granted resources without a consideration of all of the factors at play.
[…because what kind of person feels a need to take such extreme measures to feel that life is being lived without severe compromise of health in both body and mind?]
What do you think communities need more of:
People who clean up rental properties and patch up failing infrastructure?
People who drive conversations forward and focus investments on potential solutions worth supporting?
The wells are all drying up, and not all investments can be about “maxing out returns;”
the scales need to be balanced, and if the scales are not balanced fairly by those who hold the resources,
the pressure will continue to build until something breaks.
Something has to give at some point, it is true.
Let me know what you think,
or if you have any questions.
