5th Dimension Myth-Arc
Hey everybody!
If you aren’t already aware, many of the images in the 5th Dimension series are connected by a longer-running narrative, which can be discovered by investigating the images together as a series. As I create new images, this larger story will become more and more defined through the information spread between the various scenes.
For example, my most recent “Max Loves A...

Over the holidays my grandfather, Homer Reed, passed away. It has been a very difficult time for me, and I am still having trouble adjusting; because of this my output has been a little off.
He and the rest of my family have always been incredibly supportive and helpful to me in my career as an artist, and I can say with absolute certainty that without him I wouldn’t be half the person I am...

For any fans of my work, I’m sorry my output has been a little off-kilter the past month or so. I have been VERY busy, but I have another 5th Dimension shoot scheduled for the middle of this month.
I’ve been trying to branch out a bit as well, and collaborate with other artists. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the fashion editorial I did for Black & Grey magazine,...

Any fan of television serials like the X-Files, Twin Peaks, Fringe, or American Gothic will recognize their narrative format, which involves a relationship between the standalone narrative which begins and ends in an individual episode, and the longer running linked narratives (or...

Has me harkening back to the glory days of the Twilight Zone, which is easily one of my favourite shows of all time. BRILLIANT! Oh and thanks for following my blog. You're the only person I have following it at the moment. Much appreciated.
