Viewers say,

“A former corporate photographer, Zen monk, social worker, drug addict, homeless person and cancer survivor, (not his real name) Big Clifty’s work is cruel but kind, deep but shallow, sad but hilarious, must see but avoid.”

“You can tell by looking at this work that the artist is disturbed.”

“Beginning with collage, original and stock photography, the artist utilizes artificial intelligence to explore sexuality, identity, exhibitionism, and isolation.”

“The artist confesses too much, is defiant or clinging. He is amusing, or exhausting to be around. Inclusive. Exclusive. Intrusive. Come here. Go away … Pornography for an audience of one: the Artist.”

I am a former editorial and corporate/industrial photographer. In my career I completed 300+ assignments for national magazines with covers for Esquire and Business Week, and numerous annual reports for Fortune 500 companies such as Bank of America, Sonoco, and Duke Energy. I left photography to become a Buddhist monk, outsider artist, social worker and practicing shaman. Combining original photography with artificial intelligence, I explore themes of aging, illness, sexuality, pornography, relationship, intimacy, mortality, fantasy, dreams and humor in a series of pictures sometimes called Sex Isn’t Pretty?, or Pornopolis, or Big Clifty Idworks. I live in New York City.
