Over 10 years, feedback loops between analog and digital works have given rise to a transmedia Levels & Bosses mythology. Paintings, drawings, and sculptures become blueprints, textures, and forms within digital environments just as virtual spaces become references for physical installations, effectively blurring the boundaries between reality and synthetic illusion and expanding possibilities for meaning making in gaming/game distribution.

Level One painting, 2009

Oil and acrylic on canvas
