Thiago (God’s Son) (@Mattheveli) @FirdousBlahzay "it seems when a white person (eg charlie sheen) is ‘crazy’ it’s ‘funny’ but when they’re black it’s ‘scary’ (eg lauryn hill)" Or whitney houston, might I add.

“I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide note.

So I called her, and I said, “Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan. Scotty, from Star Trek.” I said, “I’m doing a convention in Indianapolis. I wanna see you there.”

I saw her — boy, I’m telling you, I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was definitely suicide. Somebody had to help her, somehow. And obviously she wasn’t going to the right people.

I said to her, “I’m doing a convention two weeks from now in St. Louis.” And two weeks from then, in somewhere else, you know? She also came to New York - she was able to afford to got to these places. That went on for two or three years, maybe eighteen times. And all I did was talk positive things to her.

And then all of the sudden — nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I had no idea what had happened to her because I never really saved her address.

Eight years later, I get a letter saying, “I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me, because I just got my Master’s degree in electronic engineering.”

That’s…to me, the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.

A little while back I was contacted by the awesome folks over at Soul Pancake to do one of their Art Attack videos! It was such an amazing experience, and definitely a challenge to come up with a painting out of thin air in about four hours. It’s funny, inevitably there are things about this particular painting that I would have changed had I had time to step back from the process of painting it, but I sort of like having this time-capsule of what my initial thought-process is like. It’s certainly enlightening, and I think has helped me to fix some bad painting habits I had developed. Just goes to show you, sometimes you need to see your work through the prism of another medium, in this case, video!

The Soul Pancake crew were wonderful, and I want to give a shout-out to Jacob Menache, Ethan Coco, Gary Haroldson, and the director, Bayan Joonam - you guys ROCK! Also, many thanks to Anabella Casanova for contacting me about this opportunity.

I also did a short interview about what I do, my process, and my thoughts on art and adventure, which can be viewed here!

So, I've had my official last day at school EVER today. Literally just some revision sessions and 3 exams and I'm on to bigger and better things (as they say). Assembly and final good-byes were a little emotional - and the weather didn't help - rain, hail and wind. Nice. But it was lovely to reminisce, hang out and laugh at embarrassing 13 year old pictures of ourselves. It's so weird to think this part of our lives will be no more and my friends, teachers and fellow sixth formers will never see each other in the same way again.
