See Most Recent Art for the newest additions, which include the new paintings "Dream Effect" "Pandora's Box," and the new short story "Axphix":

"It feels like one hundred years has passed by. . . in this otherwise pitch black frontier, . . it is possible there is a huge overabundance of these chemicals . . . I assume the extreme cold keeps the giant marbles in place. . . the Priscus cannot work at this pace in these conditions . . crap!  I was afraid that something would happen!"

Juan's work was featured throughout the 
month of September 2011 at the Kentucky Theatre.
