I am honored to announce that I am the newest inductee into Project Coyote’s “Artists For Wild Nature” program. It is with great pride that I get to step into partnership with an amazing organization on the front lines of such an important advocacy effort for our planet. Advocating for native predators, like coyotes and wolves, is not a popular endeavor, but has never been more important.

“Some folks say they do not like the desert. I wonder if they remained long enough to know? To me, the hours just before and after sunset, in this desert, in the shadow of the Sierra del Carmens, when they redden to a deep crimson, and then fade to violet, with a finality of black velvet—and the moon comes rising behind the Chisos, and cleanliness and vastness enwrap everything-to me this is one of life’s moving experiences. Nobody really knows the desert who has not felt, seen, and surrendered himself to it, at dusk.”

-Freeman Tilden, 1944

In this re-edit of a Weird West film, a sad, misunderstood, and hungry T Rex makes his way through the Mexican desert where the people who encounter him only react with fear and trembling. The song "Canned Beans" by artist and writer M. Walker serves as a meaningless backdrop to this terrestrial drama, yet somehow seems to tickle without setting the listener into fits of madness. Found footage in the public domain from the 1956 film "The Beast of Hollow Mountain" Directed by Edward Nassour and Ismael Rodríguez.

A book in written and audio performance forms. Release date TBD.
