Summer is upon us. Reflecting back on years of making art, the many faces of how that has sustained my life or my life has sustained making art. The spiritual, intellectual, physical pursuit of making art. I have so much to say right now but no way of organizing the thoughts in a proper way to communicate, or maybe I simply don't know what all my thoughts are about right now and need to just visualize and let them all come together to communicate down the road. I will just leave some images for now from years leading up to this moment and hit you back again in the near future... I will be leaving the Bay Area for a bit again soon, I am nervous, but only in that I know some new challenges and new levels are going to be reached and moved through. That's all I got, not really, but all I can paint with words right now.
