“Above London” is part of my Levitation series consisting of glowing, floating figures that are metaphors for consciousness and awareness. Floating is a representation of the freedom of being in a state of flow and higher self-awareness.
“The Game of Life” collection combines game pieces to illustrate the many roles played in life.
“Word Play” is a numbered series of unique toy still-lives. The LEGO Minifigures and other toy pieces are used to create fun narratives and play-on-words that can highlight the seen and unseen in life.
Appreciation from a fan. Mark Cuban: “Love these NFTs… Really fun. Wish he had more for sale!!”

Above Amsterdam depicts glowing, floating, dancing spirits over Amsterdam as a brilliant sunrise shines over Harlem off in the distance.
Above Boston – A glowing woman levitates and floats above the Boston skyline representing that we are all creatures of light having a physical experience. The composition has a glowing floating woman as the centerpiece as she appears to dance with the buildings. The background is created in a course-brushed-rendering of curvilinear perspective, mimicking the natural curvature of vision.
Uncommon Beacon’s title is referencing the floating weightless woman as an uncommon or remarkable beacon, a positive manifestation. The subject is a levitating woman floating over Boston Common with Beacon Hill Brownstones in the background.
The composition has a floating woman as the centerpiece. The background is created in a curvilinear perspective, mimicking the natural curvature of vision. The larger visible brush strokes creating the trees and buildings appear loose and quick in contrast to the rendering of the figure which is more refined. The more illustrative flying, floating figure emphasizes the weightless feeling.
Above the Trees continues my levitation theme.
2022 Artwork contains levitating spacesuited explorers as metaphors of conscious experiences existing in bodies. We are separate from our environment, separate from one another, exploring for meaning, and searching for each other.
2021 Artwork uses toys & games to reference the many roles played in life. Utilizing crypto and NFT themes as more attention and people came into the NFT space. My levitating theme also continued throughout this new narrative work.

2021 NFT artwork reflected the optimistic attitude of the NFT community; “We’re All Going To Make It” (WAGMI). The dark backgrounds in the artwork serve two purposes. It helps to illuminate the glowing digital characteristics of the pieces. The darkness also alludes to a foreboding vulnerability of the idealistic NFT artist community at that time, before a bear market, mainstream, and the traditional art and business world adoption yet to come.
Metaverse Migration was inspired after seeing Gary Vaynerchuk (represented by the green door) and Tom Bilyeu (represented by the blue door) each speaking at NFT.NYC in November 2021. At that time both were just starting to bring their followers into NFTs.
This piece was created specifically for the 2021 Art Basel Miami Beach group curated show “FOCUS ON NFTs: Looking Through the Lens at The Global NFT Movement.”
GM Frens is short for Good Morning Friends and was a colloquial greeting in the NFT community. This artwork’s imagery references many NFT Profile Picture Projects (PFPs) and their derivatives. This includes the Bored Ape Yacht Club, Super Yetis, Cool Cats NFT, and Panda collections. These figures share the environment with the familiar glowing figures and game-piece imagery carried throughout my artwork. The game-piece imagery symbolizes a variety of different social powers and their unseen rules. The chess pieces personify the continued omnipresent influence of western-colonial powers. The glowing figures represent the individual’s consciousness and free will.
