Carving some letters in an Osage Orange bench that my friend Cody built.  #osageorange #woodcarving #woodworking GOAT-MAN:  I wish I could offer an explanation of this drawing.  Often I find myself working in obedience to a vision that I do not understand- or that I am unwilling to understand, or invited to not understand. As understanding can represent a limitation to those things that find existence outside of or beyond its parameters.  So there is a dance amongst contradictions happening and a metamorphosis taking place and there is spiritual technology that disintegrates the comfortable paths.  Good old fashion unknowing.  Jesus turning the past upside down, and asking “what do you see now?” #drawing #spiritualart #mysticism #faun #unknowing #illustration #art A tree standing on its head #drawing #art #walkingman Onforan is an Old English word that means “in front of” or “at the beginning”- as far as I understand it.  I co-opted the word symbolically into my being as soon as I learned it 10 or so years ago, and it has become a sacred ground outside of or on the edge of time where I’ve encountered intense awe and wonder and what I can only call the heart of God- that is beyond the human limits we’ve bestowed- in the great vulnerability of the Word-maybe what Ekhart would call “divine ground”. It connects with the great creation stories- and it glows with the orange light of the cosmic microwave background radiation.  But mostly it defies language- which is why I like the word Onforan- because it poetically exists “in front of” language that fails. #onforan #drawing #illustration #art The bottom half of a little drawing with Walking Man and the turtle.  #drawing https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsIDSaLN_PV/ Experimenting with adding color.  Here is black and red.  I’m not sure… #printmaking #linocut #art A new design project that I am enjoying.  Gold metallic paint is pretty fun. #design #art #grapgicdesign  #drawing Lambs enjoying the sun after rain and learning to be a herd together. My concerns disperse when I watch them live and exercise their joyful lamb-ness.  #sheepfarm #lambs
