A digital painting from 2024 called "Starbucks View". It's from a photo I took during my first trip to China back in 2006. I miss my friends in China... unfortunately, there's now a sign there that reads "Do Not Enter".

"The Home Truths (Revisited)" #10. Digital painting, 2024. I've been reluctant to mention that I'm now using AI in my art workflow. Hope this doesn't trigger anyone; I know that it's controversial, but if you can detect "what's real and what's Memorex", please let me know.

As British soldiers were being evacuated from Dunkirk, the 1st Canadian Division was already in the UK as the only fully armed force to defend the shores. This photo of Canadians in the Battle of Britain is displayed across from our parliament. We fought fascism from day 1. Don't fuck with us.

Shinjuku: a digital painting, 2024. From a visit to Tokyo twenty years ago, on behalf of the tea company Mitsui Norin. This was a view from a taxi, but I don't remember if it was before or after that evening's sake-soaked dinner...
