The work for my newest solo show FAR FROM NORMAL, was created during a time of pandemic and protest. Frustrated and disappointed, I was having trouble creating my typical dark surrealistic work when the world around me was already so dark and surreal. This piece in particular was a product of social injustices and the protests. I sketched while watching documentaries like @13thfilm on @netflix and painted while listening to @runthejewels , @rageagainstthemachine and any interview featuring @killermike advocating and educating. From songs like “Know your Enemy” to “Ju$t” to a brilliant article by @juliovincentgambuto about the ultimate gaslighting (goggle it, it’s amazing) each had a part in creating this piece as well as influencing my other work for this show. .... “The Cost of Consumption” 18”x18” one of one framed hand embellished print available now and part of my new show FAR FROM NORMAL opening Aug 21 online at @archenemyarts Private viewing appointments are available for groups of 5 or less (masks required 😷) starting next Monday, August 24th through September 13th. - #farfromnormal #archenemyarts #darksurrealism #darkart #surrealart #costofconsumption #popsurrealism #lowbrowpopsurrealism #hifructose #beautifulbizarremagazine #creepmachine #runthejewels #killermike #ratm #robbedblind #secretsociety #killyourmasters #deadpresidents #phillyartist #philadelphiaart #phillyart #newcontemporaryart #digitalpainting #fineart #philadelphia #davidseidman (at Arch Enemy Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEIIWWijz3e/?igshid=39s7r70yegg5

Happy Easter! Here is a piece I did last year called “The Hare That Killed The Sun,” inspired by a Native American tale. Hares and rabbits have a fascinating place in folklore. The are depicted as everything from magicians and tricksters, to goddesses and witches. In fact, the origin of the Easter Bunny might have come from the Pagan festival of Eostre, the goddess of fertility whose symbol was the rabbit. If interested, I currently have prints of this on my website.

I’ve been hiding in my studio working on some new but secret things... so here’s a throwback to 2014. Presented as a diptych for a show at @archenemyarts and based on the Grimm Fairy Tale “Little Brother, Little Sister.” Still a personal favorite of mine and kinda jealous of whoever ended up with this pair. #grimmfairytales #fairytale #darkfantasy #darkart #darksurrealism #illustration #storyillustration #archenemyarts #davidseidman https://www.instagram.com/p/B9C6be_DtDT/?igshid=1t1yrp8lr7kav

In honor of Linda Blair’s birthday here is a recently completed private commission of one of the BEST horror movies of all time, THE EXORCIST!!

Taken from @mysteriousplanchette ... “On this day in 1848, young Katherine Fox called out to the noisome spirits thought to be plaguing her family's Hydesville, NY cottage. Many believe the spirits answered her, thus planting the first seeds of what would grow into the religion of Modern Spiritualism.” I absolutely love the story of the Fox Sisters and this is a painting I did of them for my 2017 solo show THE GHOST GIRLS at @archenemyarts. This piece is still available from the gallery, so please contact them if you are interested! #theghostgirls #ghosts #skull #skullart #darksurrealism #darkart #haunting #séance #spiritualism #foxsisters #mediumship #rappingspirits #haunt #pastpresentfuture #spiritisme #spiritualism #spiritualist #poltergeist #victorian #antiqueframe #davidseidman https://www.instagram.com/p/BvrTAwYF9pO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10peevwms8a2
