Map of the Inner War: Less People More Art
I'm gonna let the photos speak for themselves for the most part...
"The Ascension"
Before the signing...
Fugazi, Tucson , AZ. Four photos together...
K. Barnett smashes a car, Sacramento, CA
Lance Jr. Cyril to be exact. Dude didn't even come!
Copenhagen, Denmark...
"The Sleepers" Silkscreens with hand-painted ink... Austin, Reynolds, and J. Humphries are in this series!
My first attempt at oil painting in 10 years...
Getting the sign ready fpr the t-shirts. We had to mark them down because times are tough...
Posted November 18th, 2008 by The final straw pulled in time
If Belgium was just a little bit closer..

Is it possible to buy your t-shirt online somewhere?

BOOSH, more like douche! Ed doesn't it suck that this guy got to go to your show and then just stole from you? It looks like he stole his style from Trapasso too. I hate thieves. In South America yesterday a lynch mob stoned and killed a group of thieves. Vigilante justice.

My husband and I were discussing your art last night, and I was wondering if you could share your thoughts...We were discussing how your wife is naked in some of your photos. I feel like my "nakedness" is something just for my husband (plus it seems Deanna is way more comfortable with her body than I am of mine.) When you have Deanna naked in a picture, in your mind is that feeling part of what your trying to attach to the image? Does having her nude in a picture ever come at the cost of intrusion? My husband says I'm over thinking it and some guys just like to "put their wives out there."

overheard at the opening:
little girl: Daddy what does that say? (pointing at one of the big head sculptures)
daddy: It says "Suffer the Joy of Being Alive"
little girl: (confused, a little sad) Why does it say that?
daddy: ummmmmm......
I liked the painting with bookshelf and all the little tiny spines with the titles, that must've been carpal tunnel inducing torture.
too bad that snake kook was there...

Dear Science is Dope,
I think you are much more correct than your husband. I can't say that I am one of "those guys" who likes to put his wife out there. Although that is arguable I'm sure for outsiders who are not familiar with Deanna and mines relationship. She is in fact a very shy person, and not at all the kind of girl who shows off her body or puts herself "out there" so to say. In letting me show some the photographs we make in private she is showing great trust in my vision and sincerity regarding the stories I want to tell through my artwork.
I am hoping to convey a feeling, the feelings you have during a long monogamous relationship, and show a commonality we all have as humans. Those little human moments. Regardless if clothing is involved or not.
Sometimes it does cause an intrusion. And often the photos are misunderstood.
A lot of my photography is about our relationship, so I don't see how you could endeavor to document that subject in a truthful fashion without showing some of the intimate times.
Thanks for your question! I hope this helps.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I will let my husband know you are not a creep.
One of my students has a picture on the front of her school binder of her dad sitting watching TV with no shirt on. He is a James Gandolfini-esk looking gentleman (very large with body hair.) This picture catches me off guard more so than a picture of a naked woman(I also live and have grown up in Vegas where I'm bombarded with billboards of g-strings and pasties daily.) She has it framed using a large paper heart. It shocks me every time I notice it. But when she sees it, obviously, it reminds her of how much she loves her dad. My point is, in your photos, I can tell you love your wife and she loves you back.

Ed, Any plans for a show in SF in the near future? Was the painting with the "thought snake" (can't really say thought bubble) coming from the girl's mouth inspired by checking out churches in Europe? That's the first thing that came to mind with the sun behind her head like Catholic saints. Thanks, Jason
