Welcome, to…
The Long Gallery
The Long Gallery came to me as a bit of a fever dream. Like how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle explained how Sherlock Holmes organized his mind, I found a similar way. In my mind I see my work hanging in a gallery, the covers of my work displayed in gilded frames.
So I brought it to life here, in The Long Gallery.
Little portals to my work.
I hope you enjoy.
And remember, some works contained within this site depict scenes of gore, or sexual content, and may be disturbing to some…
But that’s the point, fear not the written word for the reaction it elicits is but a reflection of our own self and the mirror it holds up to our own insecurities.
Love it, like you should love yourself, for fear, sadness, unease, these are the little things that make us who we are…
That “isim” that makes you special.

A Tribute to a Legend
At three a.m. one day in nineteen eighty-eight, Israel Kamakawiwo’ole called a recording studio to request a session. Its owner and engineer, Milan Bertosa, agreed to record him if he could get there in fifteen minutes.
But why did he need to record this song? And why right then?
I like to think it was something magical, and out of this world.
