Good morning my lovers of art and wisdom, long time no see.
As we breathe this contaminated air in the Kali Yuga phase there are always a million things going on in all spheres, political, social, creative and spiritual to endlessly distract us with negativity. The entire objective of the matrix (mainstream media, social media algorithms and government programs) is designed to keep you in a state of internal shame and external guilt. Shame on me and guilt for thee!
Amongst the chaos I’ve always treated my studio as my silent and private retreat. A space where the acceleration of technological dependence, social media one-upmanship and chaotic intersexual dynamics that only continues to worsen is put at a hiatus. I call this era “First World, Hell World”, Western man is a creature of first world problems with an untrammeled and shameless desire for degeneracy. Millennials diving headfirst into a pool of participation trophies built by the baby boomers whilst the Zoomers gleefully await the new Apple Vision Pro Mixed Reality Headset.
This is where the visual arts come in, painting and sculpture in contrast to artificially generated imagery and Instagram reels are analog. They intimately return the viewer to base reality as fine art done correctly can only be experienced in a uncontaminated mind. This is the power of art; this is the treasure I distill when painting and share into the homes of my collectors. In that spirit, I encourage you all to find that space in your own lives artistic or otherwise - it is the antidote to the plethora of side effects in the unwavering digital age. In that sense dare I say, art is dangerous. Just like homesteaded garden and chicken coup in ones back yard or the precious metals that the state can’t rob you of - collecting art is the sovereignty of culture.
I spoke for the second run at 21Con last year on this very subject, the contrast between spiritually directed art versus its more nefarious propagandistic opposite.
Have a listen here.
Since we’ve last spoken, I’ve developed my ideas and philosophy quite a bit while estranging myself from people across the political and religious spectrum, Some find me to edgy and course while others look upon me as an outsider. But this is nothing new - getting blacklisted by the NYC gallery circuit after winning artist of the year set a precedent and I share this most valuable lesson with you today.
Now, onto the goodies.
I have restocked a small batch of my collectible postcard box KATABASIS and my art catalog Sacred & Primal, which highlights artwork produced during my successful reign in New York City.
Additionally, I have a new limited edition print available titled Order in Paradise. A rendition of Adam and Eve before the forbidden fruit was bit into, a beautiful cool blue composition contrasted with a yellowish orange.
You can find them all here.
Lastly, I wanted to share some of the highlights from the Blood & Fire Project this month, we’ve had some notable collectors support this art mission and it’s a positive sign of things to come when men around the world honor and acknowledge the necessity and power of the masculine through beautiful art. Notable names include Jay Dyer, Larry Elder, Scotty Nelson, Eddie Bravo and many more.
I encourage you to watch the short documentary that extrapolates the mission if you haven’t done so yet here.
Thats it for now, as a follower of my content I promise you that I am doing everything in my power to move culture towards the Good, the True and the Beautiful.

As a Scotsman I feel no shame. Arthur Herman's book How the Scots Created the Modern World proves I have much to be proud of. Keep up the fight. You are wearing the armor of God.
