I'm an artist, a rockstar and a retired street racer. I've seen it all.

Sometimes art comes easy, sometimes it doesnt come at all, sometimes it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before or will again Maybe I’m crazy. But you will give me a character and a voice in your head you will visualize what I’m supposed to be and then I’ll fall woefully short in reality.

Anxiety

I drew this and it gives me anxiety. Ive got no idea why just an empty feeling inside that really unsettles me personally.

I'm just gonna put this here

I love how when life seems to be just barley moving along then you blink and your daughter is almost nine months old your best friends been dead for 3 and a half years and you've forgotten how to tie your shoes. In my case all of the above plus my facade of everything is fine and dandy is wearing the rest of the family down. Truth be told I'm falling apart but im not willing to appear weak. I wonder how many other men feel this way? If indeed it's okay to show emotion? I was taught not to, and it didn't take really until I was in my mid twenties by twenty six I hadn't cried in years and then I lost my cousin and best friend and my sister committed suicide and I lost my nieces and my nephe and got married all in the span of a few months talk about mixed emotions . I screamed I laughed I cried I cried I cried I cried ....it's okay I think

After the break in period superado seems to be running fine, there are still things left to do as it is indeed a project truck but as far as the power plant is concerned we are there.

Every once and a while I do some fun stuff with my artistic talent. on this occasion I drew half of this picture left handed at the same time I drew the right half right handed.

Here it is the moment ive been waiting for since 2017 when I started the rebuild of this motor. I've been around this sort of stuff my whole life but this was the first one I've ever done solo so to me it's been a pretty awesome journey and a cool accomplishment I won't stop here though ill continue to trick out my 300,000 mile Chevy til its the Best one around.

Got myself some shorty headers after spending half a day Saturday playing at trying to make an old set of long tubes work but no Luck just another 200 down the drain

Update. The motor is in the truck all the lines have been purged I am currently waiting on summit racing to send me some headers. Progress is hampered by my three month old daughter's somewhat persistent need for care (Which is in no way an inconvenience. A joy rather.) moving along at a rocket pace considering that the project has been sitting for 3 years . as soon as my hand heals back up from my recent accident I think I doodle something and up load that. til then be safe and stay out of other people's busines.

Relaxing in the shade the old army pickup rests from a long life full of hard work. It wonders if there’s one more ride around the farm left? Or if this is the final resting place for its old bones.
