This is IDIOTGOD - The original painting is from 2012. the animation is new.
This is ANTAGONY, a painting from 2010. The title is derived from antagonism. There seems to be a lot of that going around. Are people more violent than they used to be? Or is it the negativity bias of the media that makes it seem that way? ~ https://linktr.ee/rsconnett
‘MICROVERSE v4’ in motion
TRANSVOLUTION from 2011
This is my painting SOMNAMBULANT from 2012. This animated version has been created by the outstanding animator, @m4wave. This painting is inspired by dreams, sleepwalking, and hypnagogia. (see previous post) I began sleepwalking when I was around 8. For that, my parents sent me to a shrink who taught me to remember my dreams. That was the beginning of my interest in dreams. ☠️

This is a small painting I just finished. (Title: ‘DUST’ - 13 x 13") for an exhibition of historical and contemporary ‘Memento Mori’ paintings and sculpture at the MUSKEGON MUSEUM OF ART in Muskegon, Illinois. The exhibition is Titled ‘UNDYING TRADITIONS: MEMENTO MORI’* The exhibition will run from December 19, 2019 through March 29, 2020.
* About Memento Mori: The Memento Mori (which translates to 'remember death’) is a Medieval Latin Christian philosophy that encourages reflection on mortality, on the inevitability of death, and the transience of mortal pleasures and accomplishments. While most familiar to Western audiences through the art traditions of 17th century Europe, the memento mori appears across multiple cultures from around the world, from the Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians to the early Buddhists.

This is another insect/garden thing I did back in 2012. These two, (drawing and painted drawing) are a little different from what I’m doing now because it’s in my old sketchy cartoon style. (Untitled)

“Starry Diplocaulus” 12 x 16 in. The Diplocaulus is an ancient extinct amphibian. There are fossils showing the shape of the head, (Which for some reason has always fascinated me) and basic structure, but no one really knows about the color or body markings.

Opening tonight at Corey Helford Gallery in LA is the group exhibition, “Sensory Overload” (Jan. 21st - Feb 18th) ! Below is my piece for the show:
“Sweet Damnation”, 2016, Ballpoint Pen, Ink Pencils, Ink Wash, Graphite, Colored Pencil and Gel Pen on Mixed Media Paper, 16 inches by 24 inches (20 inches by 28 inches framed)
For the show, “Sensory Overload”, I decided to create a piece inspired by religious, medieval, Christian imagery with exclusively “American Midwestern” flora and fauna. Titled “Sweet Damnation”, my artwork tackles the theme of sensory overload with the moth, a pine devil silkworm moth, becoming completely overwhelmed by its interaction with the snake in the artwork. The moth is receiving an enlightening kiss by Satan, represented as a divine, winged black rat snake who is entwining an american persimmon tree. The poor little pine devil is being completely overpowered by the otherworldly touch of the snake’s tongue. Missouri is my personal Garden of Eden and I wanted to represent that with this piece, as well as have a little fun with common religious imagery.
