What it’s all about

This here, then, is a scrappy atlas of recent work and sundry enthusiasms — fine art & lurid pulp, glamour & technology, poetry & melodrama, realism & abstraction, pop, punk, prog & psychedelia, cats, occasional squirrels, kitchen prose & gutter rhymes, for your pleasure, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

I am also the proprietor of Universal Exports of North America, which functions as an imprint for various publishing, art, and music projects and as a creative consultancy.
