Jeffrey Seeds
Mixed-Wannabe Multi-Comic Imitator and Apprentice Infidel

Jeffrey Seeds is an artist living and breathing in Shohola, PA.  Most importantly, he does not
take all that much about himself or his art all that seriously.  Since “everybody is an artist” and
“art is the imitation of mistakes,” it only requires a little further error in logic to conclude that
“life is a blind date with the artist currently known as yourself.”

People routinely proceed as if disentangling the worlds’s problems must by definition require
that we ‘get serious’ and treat ‘life on Earth’ with the most sober sense of alarm and gravest
sense of responsibility.  That would be perfectly fine – or admirable even – unless of course such
attitudes are what has caused most of the worlds’s problems in the first place.

At different times in his life, Jeffrey has pretended to be painter, poet, performance artist,
story teller, conceptual artist, potter, linguist, screenwriter, novelist, comedian, sculptor,
sound bricoleur, political activist, philosopher, satirist, surrealist, web designer – or to make a
too long story as short as possible – he lacks the self-discipline to decide what he is going to be
when he grows up.  If there is one title to which Jeffrey can make claim with considerable
confidence, it is that of imitator.

Having entertained so many pretenses over so many decades, the endeavor for which Jeffrey has
had the greatest passion in recent years is painting the ocean and the beach and figures on the
beach and skeletons on the beach.  This does not adequately explain why Jeffrey is living and
breathing in Shohola, PA.  But it may demonstrate that Jeffrey practices in his own life that
which he contends about the existential state of the world generally, that we are both literally
and figuratively, “lost and pretending we took this road on purpose.”

While most of Jeffrey’s work is nailed or screwed to a wall or ceiling, he would almost certainly
rip down any piece of it on the spot, for the right price, so that he can finance a few extra days
at the beach next summer.  (by appointment only)
