Building
Yesterday, the second website I created (and now, manage) went live! I made it for a local non-profit I worked with over Christmas last year (and hope to continue to work there in the winter, because it’s the best job ever) called Bruce Roberts Toy Fund. Check it out at brucerobertstoyfund.com! Besides that and Freeport…

Vacation Photos
I’m just going to post a lot of pictures in a slideshow form because….it’s prettier. You can see my art journal entries on flickr – excuse the poor lighting, I took them all at night when I got home… [portfolio_slideshow slideheight=300]

Back!
Back from vacation! Had a wonderful time at the coast, drew a lot in my journal and generally relaxed. I got better at drawing dragons and I took a lot of pictures – even brought home a seagull feather for my art journal, and everyone thought that was crazy. I like it. Strangely exhausted trying…

I feel like writing, but nothing’s coming to mind. Just one of those aimlessly creative moods because creating, whether it be writing, performing, or painting, is one of those things that’s just as necessary as breathing to me. Maybe I’ll start reading a new book and get some of those juices flowing.

New Circles
I’m in a weird place. My support group has sort of eroded and I’m standing in the middle between a place I want to be and being sad because I feel like I’ve lost most of the people who’ve really helped me over the last few years. Truth is, I’ve moved on. I’m not completely done…

Well, you know, plans…
I had a list, right? I know it’s only been a week, but for some reason it seems to be a list of I’m-going-to-do-the-ones-that-involve-mail-but-maybe-not-anything-else instead. Which is great, actually, because I’ve accomplished several other big things since writing that list. Launched the Freeport Creative Arts website! (check it out, it’s epic) Delivered book to Library…

Success can be scary
I didn’t know that making progress could be a scary thing. I’m ridiculously proud of how my artistry is developing and I’m at the point where I look at the things I’ve recently done and feel proud, and feel like I captured what I intended to capture. It’s wonderful, and yet, almost paralyzingly scary –…

Skill Set
I’ve set out to do several things this year. I’ve listed twenty-one of them, but I have a few things that aren’t specifically on my list. Much of that includes things I’m trying to learn and skills I’d like to develop. I feel that I am uniquely qualified for some things because of how my life…

Entertainment
Every so often art, technology, and entertainment are made to be some kind of new evil. Articles, emails, and teachings are produced – mocking and and devaluing the art and the industry that is a large part of our world. Many good things have fallen victim to this, and many people (myself included) have spent…

Babies, bathwater, and shit in the brownies
Whenever people write about something remotely controversial the people who disagree generally respond with “don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!” and occasionally the viewpoint opposite will make a retort about how if you had a brownie with dog shit in it you wouldn’t eat it. My response to the two of them are…
