Welcome to SHIFTERLAND. These are a collection of photos shot during the filming of my hour long television program Shifterland which airs every week. You can find more details and clips at myspace.com/shifterland. These photos are of my character COOKIN KITTY, my alter ego brain child. These are still shots from the filming of my show as well as from several photos shoots out on location. It's the coolest thing in the world that they want to spend time with me, maybe do some drinking while helping me create art. The GIN AND TONIC is the drink of choice for Cookin Kitty. When I don't have ideas or enough time or friends to film I create more traditional video art along with a soundtrack to broadcast. I create, write, direct, film, edit, archive, brainstorm, produce audio/special effects, encode, make DVD's for the show with support from friends and family.



Thanks and love to Adrienne, Cara, Stan, Salad, Colleen, Michelle, Cath, Katanya, Yasi, Vivian, Jamie, Iris, Ursula, Danny, Space, and Dan for making these photos and filming my show. Thanks for SCANTV(scantv.org) where my program is broadcast.



I’m not a serious artist except in that I plan to work at art till I’m no longer capable. Some of my favorite endeavors happened with a gin and tonic in one hand and a paintbrush or camera in the other. I want the act of imagination, brainstorming, creating, and producing to be fun. But at times there is the grim determination or lack of as man muddles in the muck and mire attempting to give birth to a masterpiece. The process the mind goes through, and even more importantly the stuff that happens to the parts of you that aren’t physical are truly astounding and somewhat incomprehensible.



I’m not good with dialogue about art, I prefer to hide in a cesspool of the naive. I do know the creation of art produces emotions, concepts, sensations that can’t be found in consciousness nor on this planet. Art should not be a struggle for existence but proof of. Art is developing a relationship with what does not exist.
