He's dazed and confused, but knows who he is and what he wants,
He's got his car, is high as a kite, listening to Rock & Roll and pickin' up chicks...
He's Pepe McConaughey.
All right, all right, all right.

This NFT is based on the story below. All the works in this series are evolutions in the stages of the story.  Each image works on its own, but together and in context they tell a tale that leaves room for the imagination of the viewer to complete. 

The Occurrence: Part I

Out of the blue of an otherwise perfectly ordinary day, it came careening down from the sky, crashing in a spectacular and seemingly endless cloud of shimmering ash that spread throughout the land, sparing nothing. No one could possibly have known what would ensue. When the dust finally settled, it was onto a world that would be forever transformed. 

Some say it began on the day that The Child first noticed an almost imperceptible difference in the colors on a snake. But it was still the Before Times, and no one yet understood.

What All agreed on, in retrospect, is that there is a dark side to seductive beauty that at first remains unseen…

ABOUT: The  Occurrence: Species 3 / Transmutation 1
This image is one from a series of works that unfold with gradual changes relating to the brief story, "The Occurrence: Part 1," which can be found in Memoirs. All the works in this series are evolutions in the stages of the story. They begin with The Ash, move into Transmutations, and slip into Disappearance. Each image works on its own, but together and in context they tell a tale that leaves room for the imagination of the viewer to complete. Much of my work implies rather than states in order to afford the viewer a participatory role in creating the narrative, a story that incorporates their own creativity, memories, and experiences.

"if you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours."
- Dolly Parton

give 'em a smile

This action painting was created with rage, passion and completely in the moment. I used spray paint and heavy duty wire on linen to create it. My father was a Chicago firefighter and I used to stay at the fire house as a kid and ride in the fire truck with him on runs. I watched him lead his crew up into burning buildings. He was badly burned when I was a kid which was traumatic for me, seeing his melted skin. Fire has always been a strong symbol of destruction and beauty and danger in my life. As has been wire; because like him in his 'side job' I was a journeyman electrician. I hate wire and I hated wiring houses in the dead of winter in Chicago. The thrash marks were made with violent strokes using heavy duty wire, and I injured myself in the process. 

Is it true that I must first go through the fire to become a man? 




"Fire, man"

This piece is  somewhat of a self-portrait. ER's deep passion for nature and  his interest in the powers within are a common thread in his work. The original was created on an 8'x8' wood panel using spray paint. 

In There Somewhere

This NFT is a symbol of optimism, strength and bravery when facing unsurmountable challenges. The Help in on the Way Kid is portrayed shirtless and vulnerable. Despite this, he has a look of determination, ready to face whatever challenges come his way. This NFT expands on that idea with an army of children, all wearing masks symbolizing their innocence. The masks also allow the viewer to place themselves in the picture, those kids can represent any of us.

Soul Elevation


This painting was created from a photograph I took late one night after working on scenic design at a theatre.  I had jester-like make up on and felt so exhausted and overwhelmed knowing I had to go back in a matter of hours. I took a photo of myself with porcelain face, large eyes and ruffled collar.
I made this into a digital painting which I added colour, distortion and movement to infuse it with some energy.
In my art I like to find light in tough situations by adding colour, movement and change. If we change the way we look at things, those things change. 

Keeping An Eye

Nothing more than a captured moment of peace and joy. The vibrant colors and characters convey a sense of happiness, something which we can all use. 

The original piece is an 8' x 8' spray-painted mural.

Peace and Joy

The sunflower has been Ukraine's national flower for a long time, but it has quickly become a worldwide symbol of solidarity for the country and its people since the Russian invasion began. 
Like many of my paintings this started from something completely different.  I traced back my work to learn it started from a graffiti style heart painting that I was manipulating  in 3D.  I took screen shots from various angles  with various colour changed and finally discovered a sunflower.  I had been working on this months ago and put it aside, but recently came across it and was called to create this piece. This painting is emitting positive energy, love and light to the people in the Ukraine and all who are  affected by the devastation that is taking place. 
May this painting radiate love and peace to help heal all.


Leaning Into The Light

Helena Martin's unique skill set as an animator and a muralist is on on full display in this NFT that blends the physical and digital worlds.  Based on a mural that was painted in Austin, TX, Martin meticulously animated the separate elements of the mural to create a story about growth, change and expressing oneself.  Featuring a yellow warbler.  Believe in yourself; believe yourself.

Believe Yourself

Daphne leaves the gang to visit Austin, Tx for SXSW 2022. She may not find any ghosts, but there's plenty of Live Music and Tacos to be had. Original piece is Spray Paint on Wood Panel, making this a one of one. Yee-haw.

Howdy From Austin

More than a homage, I'd like to give a broader concept of the name "Lady" Bird. A female noble title, a title prefixed to the name of a goddess, like the Mother Nature, she nourishes, provides, cares, welcomes everyone. She is the bridge that connects lives and accommodates differences. Despite controversies LadyBird Lake prevailed and carries good vibes to this piece of paradise.

Call me Lady

Blue Planet (1400 × 1864) an observation of New Mexico.  The dry plains, poverty stricken and abandoned homesteads blanket the vast desert fields for miles.   The desolation is catastrophic.  Coupled with territorial crime and lack of societal needs the question for the Native American lifestyle is really:  do we have this wrong and you right?  Why ask this?  The Native American lives entirely by hunting, gathering, nesting.  These needs are so minimal, it makes a passerby question American Values.  Indigenous people are, is a conversation important for the NFT Community in the continuum of progress and identification.
