Here’s some daily drawings that I’ve been doing lately. The drawing is helping me work on new paintings.its nice getting back into drawing and just letting my hand go and my mind wander. It’s become a daily meditation practice for me.

Back In the studio …. Painting away from the internet…. Staying off social media. I’m here now at a library using wifi to post this. Life gives us challenges and we must overcome it. I realized that the internet is just an endless dark hole of toxicity and negativity. It’s hard to find the light in it. I wish the internet was never invented. I had to turn off my phone. I will no longer use it as it’s become my worst addiction. I need my art and passions in my life to be my only addictions. I’m breaking the cycle. I’m going to pretend I’m in that off grid cabin that I see myself headed to. Nothing of value has been made after the 90s. We need to get off our phones and head into the unknown. Which is exciting and terrifying…. Let’s go on this adventure together and see what we make. People just overwhelm me… I like viewing them from a distance. I rather observe nature while I’m still here. Humans are a constant disappointment, love seems to be the reason for everything I do. This painting is. Called “ eye 👁️ see you slithering snakes 🐍 on the internet “ May 2024
