S1-01: My Name is Jack Another day, another blood-soaked reminder of why the mayor is down our throats.

The crime scene is barely secured. Los Angeles’ finest...idiots who fumble their way through the academy, only to end up beating some poor souls at a traffic stop.

Anyways, I’m here now. Called away from the west side, beckoned into the hellscape of Beverly Hills. Ready to figure out who killed this man, now splattered on his own linoleum floor.

Dying in a kitchen. Not as bad as the toilet, but close. Your body watched over by appliances. Your last breath witnessed by the breadbasket.

What they won’t teach you in a book is that it all means something...A murder in a bathroom. A murder in a kitchen. Nothing is inconsequential. Did the offender mean to keep things contained (the bathroom)? Was it a crime of passion (the bedroom)? Or was it a domestic escalation (the kitchen)?

That’s why they pay me the medium, government bucks. Fuck it. I’m rambling. Time to figure out who did it. If I was a gambling man (I am), I’d bet the wife did it.

S1-02: A Pool and a Pop “Detective, look round back.”

The blue shirt knew how to get my attention. A vague statement. A promise of a clue.

I found myself walking around the flimsy stucco siding, the murder scene could wait.

In the back was an urban oasis—some dead man’s American dream. Not just deferred, but now out of his hands.

And there it was. Footsteps. Bloody footsteps. Delicate in size. They punctured the backyard’s irksome tranquility.

Where were they going? The pool house?

More importantly, whose footsteps were they? And whose blood?

And then I heard it, a car engine going off. Pop. Pop. A shitty engine at that.

I ran.

S1-03: The Headless Horseman Pop!

As I turned the corner, I saw something that would have to wait...could that be another body?

In the meantime, there was something more certain: In front of me was a speeding car. And what a car it was! Bright pink, with a fresh wax that glistened in the sun. And it appeared...somehow...that it was driving itself.

A greater fool may have thought this some sort of magic. But a brief teenage job at the carnival taught me that “magic” was always a trick. The driver must have been bending over.

Like a headless horseman, the car sped and swerved right past me.

As it came by, I could just make out the license plate: G8D90C.

I didn’t need to take a note. My photographic memory was still solid after all these years of drowning my brain in booze and not-to-be-named chemicals. Anyways.

Punktwelt is an exploration of color interaction, projection , perceived depth, and the aesthetics of simple Boolean operations on form.

PUNKtwelt #611

ERIK SWAHN

Each shape is the result of a single block, a rectangular cuboid, subjected to a series of Boolean subtractions with other blocks, and rendered in parallel projection, oblique or axonometric, in the abstract landscape of the Punktwelt.

Some have horizons, some have banded or striped backgrounds. The unnatural drawing order and chromatic differences of the individual faces sometimes yields illusory or paradoxical visual geometries.

"Dreamcatcher Forest" was a part of the fxhash interactive minting experience at Art Basel, Basel 2022. The illustration in this work draws inspiration from Native American dreamcatchers, a protective talisman crafted from beautifully intricate patterns of woven thread, built from natural materials & colorful beads.

Dreamcatchers are used to protect dreamers while they sleep. Good dreams are able to slip through the web to meet the sleeper beneath, while bad dreams are trapped and prevented.

As with my decas, I evolve too with each passing day. In the words of Rumi, yesterday I was clever and wanted to change the world. Today I am wise and I am changing myself.

May the dream be bigger than the illusion.
