SMTWTFS


I got listed on the Artist A Day site as the daily pick- I just discovered this page after getting an email from an archeologist who was interested in buying a 10,000 BC print, they noted they saw my work here. I'm kind of honored... mainly by being able to draw someone that digs up bones for a living- that has an interest in my silly rendered attempts. I'm always the dork at the natural history museum that stares into the fake 'excavation' area, watching patiently while some 18 year old pretends to brush the debris from some newly discovered plastic dinosaur...

Saturn Devouring His Son

The Black Paintings of Fransisco Goya

Cannibalism, senseless murder, witchcraft, kidnapping, dogs dying, weird, strange, macabre… These all describe the murals painted on the artist’s walls in his own villa. It was the end of a long and successful career. He was alone and sick, had gone deaf, lived through the terrors of Napoleon, and probably had about enough of the world and life in general. It was time to unleash the true scope of his power by digging deep into the subconscious and pulling out, writhing and screaming, the scariest possible visions imaginable. This was the dark genius of Fransisco Goya

IDN China

I have a new 6 page feature in the current issue of IDN Magazine out of China. The interview process was really amazing- language barriers, blank spaces, miscommunications and everything... Chinese translated to broken english and at attempt at translating it back to chinese again, its like playing telephone at a 3rd grade party 10,000 miles wide... break out those electronic translators and kiss your grandma

IDN- You ate gold they ate time?

HS- I ate gold and loved it.



IDN-Have you started to light the sky?by using some branched lines to described the lightning?how’s your new project?

HS- I heard that its possible for the air to ignite when a fire is present. For the air to just go up in flames, fire in the sky. I’m really attracted to the elements in big weather and have started a series with a lot of explosions, combustion, collision and lightning. In some way this level of uncontrollable phenomenon is very powerful for me- symbolically and emotionally. It is also a metaphor for emotion to some degree- I’m just trying to express the highest level of physical natural occurrence.


IDN- What’s your conceptually ideas behind such skeletons/wild animals/diamond among the arrows,or the kiss of the skeletons?there be something different from orient world,it is west civilization,how do you feel about this?

HS- ‘Bonne Nuit, Crystal Cave’ defines overwhelming human emotion and everpresent existence of death and the inevitable. The greatest conflict we endure is dealing with contrast- expressing this through imagery or ideas is always very satisfying. I use the iconic elements in my works as direct and representative ways to portray this idea of contrast. This cycle of creation within our existence is constant, in all civilizations. In death’s arm’s never stray, danse macabre.

Sensing space

Picture me airbrushing.



I've had a lot of revelations as of late. My life can be one giant epic metal fantasy super highway- even more so than it is now, if I just turn it up a notch... its not going to take much. I'm definiatley gonna need an airbrush gun. Also, some leather pants, and leather fringe... somebody is gonna need to own a really tuff bike, I think I'll cut the sleeves of my acid washed black denim jacket and get a panther- then I'll airbrush the shit out of the hood's of all my friends cars and do some bikini photoshoots at sunset. What?? You've never stared into the center of the flame before? Fire is sweet!!
